About the club

We are a group of people who enjoy the hobby of plastic model building. Our members interests range from Aircraft, Automobiles, Ships, Figures, Armour, to Sci Fi. We have all skill levels from beginners to some pretty talented modellers, but we mainly meet to share our work, ideas, tips and techniques, and talk about modelling in general.

Sixteen members was a good turnout considering it was a week after our big October Show, most people had spent all their time getting their kits ready for competition of display, so there was not a lot of new stuff on the table this night.

Dave did bring in his Best in Show Mig-31, a few people didn’t get to see it, and I was grateful, because I didn’t have much of a chance to give it a good look. Beautiful piece of work!

Also worth a second look was Cory’s VW Beetle from the show. Cory gave a weathering presentation at the show, and his Bug kit shows that he is quite skilled at it!
Slow night but good to recap the show and talk about what went on.

See you next time, and keep building!!!!!!!

Tonight was swap night, and quite a few kits changed hands. Just like Christmas 😊

There were a few pieces of work on the table tonight, some people were busy over the summer!

Jessica recently completed her first build, a Gundam figure. Nicely done! We look forward to seeing more.
