Atlanta 2021​

Hi there boys and girls. Just dropping in to reaffirm that the 2021 AMFS Figure Show is only a month, or so away. We are busily preparing for the event to make it as enjoyable as possible for those of y'all who make it the Marietta Conference Center/Atlanta Hilton. The dates are February 19- 21, 2021. We will open at 7:00 PM on Friday and conclude Sunday morning.

For reasons, obvious or maybe not, this years version of the show will look a bit different than in years past. In order to present the event we have made various changes that we hope will 1) Insure that our event is as safe as we can make it and 2) Not detract too much from the show. The AMFS is committed to make everyone as safe as possible and still proceed with our show. With this in mind, here are the most notable of changes;

* We will not hold the traditional awards ceremony due to health concerns. Very early on Sunday morning will instead place all awards with the winning exhibits.
* There will be no traditional seminars for the same reasons as above. There
is a possibility that one (or more) of our vendors will do demos at their tables.
We will announce as /if it is confirmed.
* The Silent Auction is cancelled
* Both Exhibit and Vendor rooms will be configured to allow as much "free space" as possible for our attendees. The entire show will be spread as much as possible for your safety
* Hotel Regulations call for wearing of masks and "social distancing". Masks or similar face coverings are REQUIRED by the AMFS Show. Anyone refusing to wear a mask will either removed from or denied admittance to the Show areas. The only exception to this will be children under the age of 5.
* The Show hotel furnishes kiosks for hand sanitizer and the AMFS will have , on hand, disposable masks and additional hand sanitizer for everyone usage.

At this time, the APG painting workshop featuring Julio Cabos is still scheduled to be held on Thursday and Friday (18th and 19th) and the "Painting 1/35 Scale Figures Workshop lead by Brett Avants will begin on Friday morning, the 19th. ( We will advise ASP of any changes here) NB: These events are held outside the purview of the AMFS and "safety precautions" are the responsibility of the sponsors.

Currently we have a full slate of vendors committed to our Show and we look forward to having plenty of customers for them.

2021 AMFS SHOW​

​

The final meeting with the hotel has come and gone and we are happy to say that we are still headed towards a great Show next month, February 19,20,21. We want to mention a few new items here, and maybe review a couple of old ones.

We have wrangled another large meeting room from the hotel with the result that the vendors can be spread out even further than we had originally hoped, to allow for much less crowding. Because of this, we will have all of the vending on one level and the figure displays and AMPS Show at the lower level.

The restaurant is currently undergoing renovation and it is uncertain if it will be available by show time. This will be updated as necessary. The bar will be open and serving "bar food".. wings etc... For those of you who enjoy the show's hospitality room, you will be pleased to note that its' location has been changed and is a tad more spacious and MUCH less likely to interfere with any of the guest's sleep. It is also located on the lower level of the conference center.

The AMPS sponsored workshop, "Painting 1/35th Scale Figures" lead by Brett Avants is still scheduled for Friday, the 19th, and should conclude just before the Show opens. The APG sponsored painting workshop has been cancelled. Seems that the travel ban is keeping the instructor from flying in. Hopefully , this will be revived for the 2022 Show.

We will leave you with this reminder - the hotel requires masks be worn in all public areas of the hotel and social distancing practiced at all times. The AMFS and AMPS require that a mask be worn at all times in all the show areas. Anyone refusing to comply will be denied access to the show, or required to leave. The only exception will be for children under the age of 5. The show and the hotel will furnish hand sanitizer stations and disposable masks for anyone in need.

We hope to see many of you in a few weeks at the Marietta Conference Center for another great AMFS/AMPS show!
