Three Rivers IPMS gets Chippy



If you've been to a model show lately, you may have seen one of those plastic poker chips show up next to one of your models on the contest tables. This is just a way for Three Rivers IPMS members to let you know they liked your model - there is nothing official about it as far as the contest itself. Our members make it to a lot of area shows, so they may turn up just about anywhere.
