  1. The EAA AirVenture Museum in Oshkosh, Wisconsin will be hosting a new scale model contest and show called "EAA ScaleVenture" on Friday September 30 and Saturday October 1, 2011. Participants need not be members of the EAA or IPMS to attend. Although we are an aviation museum and this contest is heavy on the aircraft build categories, we welcome all car modelers as well. Here are the basic details for those interested: REGISTRATION Registration is $20 for adults, $10 for juniors ages 11-17, and free for juniors aged 10 and under.

SPECIAL ACTIVITIES MUSEUM TOUR & COCKPIT CLIMB: On Friday September 30, 2011 starting at 5PM there will be a special behind-the-scenes tour of the museums artifact and archives collection and an open cockpit opportunity with a number of museum aircraft - your chance to get inside some of EAA's airplanes.

Entries will be judged using the following criteria: Basic Construction, Overall Finish, Overall Accuracy, Additional Detailing and Degree of Difficulty. Scratchbuilt detail will be favored over commercially available detail if quality is comparable. A great amount of added detail will not make up for poor basic construction. A copy of the IPMS/USA Judges Handbook will be available for review. Judging procedure will be based on the AMPS style of judging modelers will be responsible for bringing their models to the judging table.
