KCCON 2021 Cancelled

Fellow modelers,

IPMS Great Plains and IPMS KCAMPS have collectively decided to cancel our show in Kansas City, Missouri, USA on March 13th, 2021. We were very much looking forward to kicking off the new contest year, however it seems we will be living with COVID for a while longer. With indoor gathering restrictions fluctuating and to implement and enforce this and other safe behaviors on participants would go against the spirit of the show diminishing its enjoyment by everyone. We will be back in March 2022. Everyone stay safe, stay well. See you in 2022.

Stuart Malone
President IPMS Great Plains

Meetings Cancelled until further notice

Because of restrictions imposed by local government due to the COVID-19 virus, our regular meetings have been cancelled until further notice.

What Is IPMS Great Plains?

IPMS Great Plains is an organization dedicated to the enjoyment of creating "models in miniature." We are affiliated with the International Plastic Modelers' Society (IPMS) and subscribe to the guidelines, rules and regulations of that organization.

What Do We Do?

Our members build and collect models of any type and era. While the bulk of the models we build are of military subjects (aircraft, armour, and ships), our members also build everything from cars, to spacecraft (both historical and sci-fi),to civil aircraft, or indeed almost any subject. We also have members who specialize in the art of figure painting. Although the "P" in IPMS stands for plastic, our members also work with wood, resin, vinyl, metal and even paper. Our goal is to increase the modeling skills of each member through discussion and demonstrations. We also host contests and shows to help promote and attract new members to our hobby.
