All About Ypsilanti Arsenal AMPS
What We’re All About
The Ypsilanti Arsenal of Democracy (Ypsi AMPS) is a Michigan Chapter of the Armor Modeling and Preservation Society, Inc., or AMPS. Although Ypsi AMPS’s main function is as a modeling club, it is definitely a different type of modeling organization compared to other mainstream model building groups. Ypsi AMPS follows National AMPS guidelines to govern how it is run and abides by the AMPS judging system that rewards individual effort using a point system to minimize subjectivity.
The purpose of Ypsi AMPS is to foster a knowledge and appreciation of the history of armored vehicles, through examination of preserved examples located in both museums and private collections, in miniature through modeling. Ypsi AMPS works with it members to provide and share reviews, tips, articles on preserved vehicles, and comparisons of models and related items.
Ypsi AMPS members also participate in the international convention every spring in which the subject of armor is supreme. The convention features the best armor model vendors, seminars from armor experts and an excellent example of the best armor models from around the world in its competition. Competition is organized into five levels - junior, basic, intermediate, advanced and master - and the judging system rewards the modeler for his individual effort, not in comparison to other modelers.
If you like to build armor models, we’d love to have you as a member.

All About The Armor Modeling and Preservation Society
What AMPS is all About
The Armor Modeling and Preservation Society, Inc., or AMPS, was founded in 1993. Although AMPS’s main function is as a modeling club, it is definitely a different type of modeling organization compared to IPMS or other mainstream groups. AMPS has a Constitution and Bylaws to govern how it is run and the AMPS judging system rewards individual effort using a point system to minimize subjectivity.
The purpose of AMPS is to foster a knowledge and appreciation of the history of armored vehicles, through examination of preserved examples located in both museums and private collections, in miniature through modeling. To this end, AMPS publishes a 32-page journal called Boresight six times a year. This journal covers reviews, tips, articles on preserved vehicles, and comparisons of models and related items.
