IPMS Eagle Squadron - RDUCON 2016
Back to Basics
Welcome modelers, enthusiasts, and history buffs to
the IPMS/USA Eagle Squadron’s RDUCON 2016. For
2016, we are saluting the working men, women, and
machines that toil behind the scene. You do not need to
be an IPMS member to attend. So come on out to the
return of the Capital region’s Largest Scale Modeling
event.
This year’s convention comprises over XX categories
catering to a broad range of subject areas for scale
modelers of junior to more advanced skill levels. This is
your chance to see miniature renditions of historical
subjects as well as meet and hear stories from veterans.
RDUCON is a great place to display your work, swap
stories and get tips. Have fun and if any members can be
of assistance don’t hesitate to ask.
Also at this year’s Convention is the ever popular Raffle
and a vendor area which promises to become the largest
hobby store in the capital region to fulfill your needs. The
vendors will be fully accessible during the show and is
included in the entrance fees please be sure to take
advantage of each area.
FEES
