Northern Virginia AMPS

06/04/2026

We moved the April meeting up one week!

The AMPS National Convention was inconveniently being held on our normal meeting day and we didn't want to miss out on our regular build & BS session.

So, hopefully see you THIS SATURDAY!

Was helping my son get ready to sell his house and move last week and found this box of old modeling books of mine stashed in his garage that havent seen the light of day in ten years or more.

I'm going to bring these to the meeting on Saturday for anyone who wants them.

Mark your calendars. We'll be in meeting room A this time (the big one downstairs). The party will move to Solace brewery after they kick us out of the library. See you there!

Local Hobby Shop shout out for Carpet Monster Hobbies! Yes, that's right, we now have another genuine full service hobby shop in Northern Virginia located in Berryville. The owner, Don Jonker stocks the full line of MRP paints and has (as of this posting) Mr. Leveling Thinner in stock. Paid him a visit last week before the snow and ice storm and it's well worth the drive!

Monthly Meeting this Saturday, 17 January, 2pm to 5pm.

We're in the hood up in Sterling this month. Sorry, it's all that was available. The address is: 22330 S Sterling Blvd A117, Sterling, VA. It's in a strip mall next to a Harbor Freight and a Dollar Tree. That should tell you all you need to know.

Don't worry though, I have the next few months locked in at better venues.

I'll rely on you drinkers in the group to find a good watering hole nearby (or not nearby) for afterwards when the librarian kicks us out.

PLEASE NOTE THE CHANGE OF LOCATION!

Come hang out with us at our last normal meeting of 2025! Our normal location at Gum Springs Library was booked up and the lovely Purcellville Library was the only one in the system that had room sufficiently large enough for the club.

As always, dinner and drinks to follow, this time at Bear Chase Brewing Company!

Build tanks. Be happy.
