Meeting Summary November 4, 2014

 Large crowd tonight;

Gary, Dave, Tony, Rob, Chris W., Rodney, Tracie, Steve R, Steve F and Joe.

Steve R. has gotten back to building after a hiatus. He has his work bench tuned and is in the mood to build.. First project up.. 35 scale Tamiya Centaur converted to Cromwell in progress.

Steve F – Immediately bringing to mind Bat-21 and Gene “Ham” Hambleton, the B-66 Bomber in 144 and 72 scale. As always Steve is a stickler for accuracy and the 144 scale needed some attention. The Wing angle and the fuselage length needed work and with no surprise, all measurements are in scale (they were not when it was as is and out of the box). The 72 scale was built and completed since the last meeting.

Tony – In remembrance of WWI and the 100th anniversary of the start of the Great War, Tony brushed off the dust on his Mark IV Male. He also has another one to build.

Dave always produces different and interesting projects. “I’m BATMAN!!” This bike didn’t fit all that well, but you would never say it. The camera didn’t do justice to the eyes, but they are something!

Rodney – Rodney brought in his Pea Pod before, but much more work has been done now. It was a test of his patience, BUT he says he is doing another one. Bravo! (wouldn’t be me!! J )

Next up.. See you at the Show - Sunday Nov 9 at the St. John’s Arts and Culture Center! 10:00AM - 4:00PM

Meeting Summary October 2, 2014

In attendance on this night:

Randy, Rob, Chris J., Steve F, Steve R. Chris W., Gary, Joe

Chris J. brought along his completed Syrian T72. He recently won Silver at the KMK Show in Belgium which he attended, and conducted a weathering seminar, with his colleagues from Abrams Squad. Very nicely done.

Chris W. is an old friend of the club. He returned for a visit tonight, and hopefully we will see a lot more of him. He brought in his work-in-progress 48 scale trainer aircraft. It is known in the USAAF as the T-6 Texan, or in the US Navy/Marine the SNJ, or for Commonwealth enthusiasts, the Harvard. It will be nice to see that one when complete. Chris also showed us a future project, the venerable Monogram C-47.

Steve F. brought in a couple of Cold War single seater jets from the 50’s. The 48 scale F84G Thunderjet fighter, and the 48 scale RF-84F Thunderflash photo recon aircraft.
He also brought in a 72 scale Whitley Mk V with the Merlin 20 engines. For comparison the Spitfire Mk Vb had the newer more powerful Merlin 45. He also had to scratch build the tail turret from detailed reference. I didn't get a good shot of it but the detail was awesome!.

That’s it for this summary. Next meeting is November 2.

And a reminder, just one week until the IPMS St. John’s Plastic Model Show!



Hope to see you all there!
