Registration Details

$10 per entrant, for the first 3 models. Then it's $2 for each additional model with only 1 model per category.

We believe that this limitation will help us to work within a smaller space, plus, it helps avoid sweeps in any category.

We will follow judging guidelines and regulations as described in the IPMS/USA competition handbook available online at www.ipmsusa.org. Categories have been set up to match IPMS guidelines where possible. The head judge reserves the right to split. A No Sweeps rule is in effect. A unique winner will be selected within each category for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place awards. The contest is open to all scale models except those winning a 1st, 2nd or 3rd place finish at the IPMS Nationals or a 1st place finish at an IPMS Regional contest.

 

Registration 10:00am to Noon.

2023 WrightTreat

Wrighttreat has now become an annual event where like-minded modelers come together to build, talk and share modeling techniques. We have reserved the Saragossa room at the Bergamo Center in Beavercreek for this year's retreat. The event is simple, bring along a model or models to work on and some building tools. Don't worry if you forget something, someone should be able to help you out. The room will open at 0900ish Friday morning and we will roll right through until Sunday afternoon. Each evening, we typically lock the room up around 1100 pm and start up again at 0800 the next morning. If you suffer from insomnia, we can make an arrangement to stay and build through the night. Feel free to stay for a day, two, or all three if you are able to. :-)

Additionally, If you have some models or modeling items to sell, please feel free to bring those items along as well. The event costs $5 per day and registration is required. The fee goes to help offset the cost of the room rental fees.  Due to the smaller room this year, we are going to have to require pre-registration. 

Please the WFSM Wrighttreat website for more information. If you have questions, please don't hesitate to ask via my email. wrighttreat@ipmsdayton.com
