Armorgeddon III is history and the animals have been put back in the zoo. Stay tuned for the theme and more info for next year’s show! In the meantime, click here for the write-up and photos.

Actually, it was quite cool and chilly, but the annual AMPS show was another resounding success. Click here to get pictures of the nearly 150 entries!

Just added a whack (sorry, technical term) of new pictures from the 2025 JAXCON show.

Yes, it’s true! We will be hosting our third show this coming April, April 26 to be exact. Once again, we will be co-hosting with our friends from the Panhandle Miniature Figure Society. The theme for the AMPS portion is “At the Zoo”, which means any armored vehicle which also has a nickname that reflects an animal is eligible. There’s more info below. The dedicated page can be found here.

Here’s the FB link to see images from the AMPS Atlanta show. Great show, as always. Every Armorgator who entered the competition received awards.

Not just for the cool kids anymore…

We’ve established an account with TeePublic.com to produce some Armorgator-related bling…this includes T-shirts (and similar apparel), mugs, travel cups, stickers, etc. About half of the products feature the fabulous Mechanized Monsters of Hydrothrax and the others tank ladies, who like the Armorgators.

As usual with these custom merchandise sites, sales are run periodically, so you can collect everything your heart desires at up to 35% off. You can also get 30% by signing up for the newsletter. I would be remiss, if I did not mention that there are a lot of other cool tank items from other designers as well on the site.

If you buy from the Armorgator page, the chapter also gets a small percentage of the sale back to fill its meager coffers.

Here’s the link to get you there: Armorgator Bling.

Just finished updating the “show page “It’s Showtime“ page with some photos from various events I haven’t posted the last year or so. Just click on the link…

Just finished “borrowing” the images of all the entries for the Atlanta show. These were taken by the AMPS Atlanta show photographer, David Black, who takes much better images than I do. The “best of” awards are identified in the images. I believe we had four chapter members participating, with at least 8 awards among them. Congratulations to all! The bar is set high for us at our contest in April.

Just finished posting images of this year’s visit to the collection. A number of new pieces and some “diamonds in the rough” in the restoration area. Check out the ophotos on the dedicated page.

If you ever have the opportunity to visit, don’t pass it up!

The “Armorgators” and the Panhandle Miniature Figure Society are jointly sponsoring a model contest to be held at the Santa Rosa County Auditorium in Milton FL on April 15, 2023. That right! Instead of worrying about your income taxes in 2023, you can worry about whether your model will place! See some of the details in the attached MS word document or the PDF flyer.
