Message from IPMS regarding IPMS 2026 National Convention
ipmsnationals.org/
IPMS Nationals 2025 was an awesome event with a great turnout! IPMS SilverWings was proudly represented by our own chapter presidents, past and present—Drew Savage and Randy Canova. Both have been passionate modelers since childhood and are award-winning builders, making us especially proud to have them showcase our club!
This year, IPMS SilverWings proudly sponsored three categories – Juniors: Pre-teen Aircraft, Pre-Teen Military Vehicles, and Military Vehicles -in memory of our friend and fellow modeler, Mike Fosgett. Mike’s passion for the hobby and his dedication to our club continue to inspire us, and it was an honor to celebrate his legacy in this way.
“It’s a craft and a hobby. The person who designed the model is an artist though which makes the model an art piece of a sort. As soon as you make creative choices such as custom builds and deciding on colour, I would consider assembling models to be art in addition to being a craft and a hobby.”
