Pedro, Hi. I am the Convention Chairman for the Region 1 IPMS Regional Convention ( Noreastcon 40) to be held in May 2011 in Schoharie, New York-near Albany. Without betraying any confidentialities, would you know how I might contact paper modelers in the northeast United States to see if they would be interested in attending, displaying and competing in our show? Is there a local, regional or national paper modelers' organization that I might contact, that could then, in turn, promote our show to its members. If there is interest, we could easily create paper model categories for our contest. You can "private message" me or we could keep up the conversation here. It might get just the "buzz" we need going to start this process.

Yes! One of the new members here "cggutzmer" is a moderator at papermodelers and also has his own website as well. Also there is another site papermodeling for papermodelers, ekuth is the chief moderator there. We have modelers from around the world and a good sprinkling in the north-east as well. make a posting or get in contact with cgutzmer here and he can get with the northeast modelers. He is in the process of intergrating the paper modeling community with IPMS at this time. Thank you for the comments and I hope that this crossover will be beneficial to all of us.
