We know how important the IPMS-USA Journal is to you. As you may be aware, there are a lot of "behind the scenes" changes taking place. The society's magazine has been managed for 18 years, more or less in full, by Chris Bucholz and John Heck.

Fellow IPMS/USA members, in celebration of the 60th anniversary of our great society we are offering a three-year Adult membership to any new or existing member for only $60.00! Three-year Family memberships are only $65.00. This is a one-time offer in celebration of our Society’s many contributions to the scale modeling hobby. This offer is for all new and existing members on a one time only basis and will be available starting on the first day of the 2024 National Convention (July 17,2024) until the day before the 2025 National Convention (August 5, 2025).

Three years for $60.00 is a $26.00 savings over the regular three-year price! If you have already renewed recently, don’t worry- you can still extend your Adult or Family membership for three more years for $60.00/$65.00....
