I know that there’s another forum for Show Announcements but with the recent addition of the Guest Speaker, I thought it would be good to place an announcement here. Sorry if it violates any protocols. RC

If you’re in Southern Ontario or in the upper Midwest USA, then consider joining us for one of the larger armor-only contests and shows in the region. Hosted by the MICHIGAN MILITARY MODELLING SOCIETY, this is the fifth year of this successful and enjoyable show. Models are judged using the Open-style (think “AMPS”) judging system where all models are judged to a set criteria and awarded accordingly and not in competition with other models entered.

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT******
We have just booked a guest appearance by Mr. Wolfgang Kloth, a veteran of the German 2nd Panzer Division (Heer) and longtime Michigan resident. Herr Kloth served in Panzer IIIs and Panzer IVs and was captured in the Kurland Pocket battles, serving several years as a POW in Russia. Herr Kloth is a good friend to the 2nd Panzer Division Re-Enactment group (Indiana) and has generously agreed to visit our show, see what this “modelling thing” is all about (LOL), and have an informal Q & A Seminar about his wartime experiences.
Bring the cash and credit cards folks! (Canadians do the currency exchange at the border – no PST for these goodies – just make sure you can explain them to Cdn Customs!)
