Situation-
As world attention focuses on the events in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Georgia the furthering of AFV modelling in Western Canada has never been a more important aspect of military modelling. Throughout the AFV modelling world models are being built, painting is taking place, weathering is being conducted, dioramas are constructed, and figures are being finalized. The importance of gathering in a spectacular venue to socialize, discuss, observe, listen, judge, and be judged by peers is a critical facet of continuing the AFV modelling hobby. All AFV modellers must strive towards continuing to be happy.
