It's All in The Face...

You have that nice piece of armor sitting on it's vignette, but something wrong. Are those figures along side it a little lacking? It's all in the face. Check this out -

June 30, 2026 BPMS ZOOM Mini Meeting Report

Featured Discussion: STENCILS

Fourteen people attended.  July's red, white, and blue theme display is just around the corner. 
Lou reports Tamiya's 1/35 M-24 Chaffee and 1/48 Bf-109 G6 (late) are available.
Frank C asked if anyone could identify the unfamiliar jet he saw in flight and assumed it was part of the July 4th Jones Beach airshow. Turns out it's a L-15 Falcon of the UAE and, yes, they'll be at Jones Beach. 
Hugh is passing the time applying, removing, and reapplying Alclad coatings. 
 
Chuck told us about a good experience he had getting decals for his vintage Do 17 from WingsAndRails,  a vendor he found on Etsy. 
 
Veering a little from the upcoming US sci-fi theme contest discussion, Kevin recalled meeting Soviet cosmonaut Alexei Leonov,  the first man to walk in space, at an autograph event, where he signed the base of a Voskhod 2 spacewalk model Kevin was working on. Then we saw the finished model. 
We also Jimmy's F-18 C cockpit and Ornithopter (his first time using AK gen 3 paint), Chuck's P-40 (two, actually) and Do- 17, Erasmo's F-101 Voodoo and Macci C-200, Lee's Grumman X-29, Kevin's busts of Childs (from The Thing) and Frederick Frankenstein (a Jeff Yager sculpt from, well, you know), and Russ' Huey Cobra.
 
A 1/35 Kubelwagon and Schwimmwagen from Hero - Hobby the acquisitions. At $10 each, why not?
 
Bobby presented this week's tool, a 3D printed miniature painting vise with jaws. At $3, why not?
The topic was stencils, all kinds of stencils - decals, masks, and templates. Many agreed with Erasmo, that 1/72 aircraft stencil decals are more trouble than they're worth. Like Simon said, "decals can be stressful." Lou remembered photoetch stencils for numbers and national markings were popular 10 years ago. Bobby showed us an assortment of flexible plastic stencils he got online suitable for sci-fi and military subjects, and he remembered Don used a lot of stencils for his hypothetical Luftwaffe aircraft. Jimmy posted a link to stencils available from Amazon on the group chat. Temu and AliExpress have them, too. Michael C showed us several metal templates (from Hobby Mio and Easycutting) for use with adhesive backed paper to make camouflage pattern shapes. I expect we'll learn more about these items in future.
The next meeting is Tuesday, 7/7/26 at 7:30 pm. Frank C will send the invites.  Thanks, Frank.
Stay cool and have a safe 4th of July.

2026 IPMS Nats Update from the RC1

Attention IPMS Northeast Region,
 
Pre-registration for the IPMS USA 2026 Nationals (August 5–8) closes on June 30. After this date, registration will be available only in person at the convention.
 
This year’s Nationals in Fort Wayne, Indiana will be the last held within close proximity to the Northeast for several years. The 2027 Nationals are scheduled for Huntsville, Alabama (July 14–17), with additional southern locations expected before 2030.
 
If you have never attended an IPMS USA Nationals, this is a great opportunity. You’ll experience an unmatched level of craftsmanship, with thousands of outstanding and creative models on display—something you won’t find anywhere else.
 
Feedback from over 100 attendees from last year’s Virginia Nationals showed that participants returned home energized and inspired in their modeling.
 
For more information, visit: IPMS USA 2026 Nationals

June 23, 2026 BPMS ZOOM Mini Meeting Report

Featured Discussion: Glue, paint, thinner, pigments, Liquid Gravity, whatever - tell us what you do to prevent spills, protect your work bench from spills and contain/clean up spills.  

Ten people attended. Turnout was good for last Friday's Vertical Flight theme contest. Of the 37 models on the tables, 30 were for the contest. Photos are on the BPMS Facebook page. Winners' names will appear in the next Bulletin. 
Lou reports Airfix's 1/24 Bf 109 G5/G6 and 1/48 Sepicat Jaguar GR.1/GR.1A (new kit) are available. 
Even though the official opening date is 7/10/26, a group went to Wiseguys Hobbies at their new location in Plainview, LI, where Bobby found that trash bags full of cheap kits in busted-up boxes constitute an offer that can't be refused. 
Frank C shared photos of the IPMS Region 1 Noreastcon 53, held in Henretta, NY on 6/13/26. There were around 700 entries, lots of Gundam, Spacecraft and Cars. Julio was there, too. And he placed. Congrats, Julio. A link to his show photos is on the BPMS Facebook page. 
Michael C's problems painting polyethylene got us to talk about options to prepare soft plastic for painting.  
We saw Simon's 3D printed 1/18 scale LA-7, Gil's 3D printed 1/10 scale Alita Battle Angel and motorcycle, and Frank C's Phantom II. 
 
Hugh was pleased to acquire a 3D printed Wright R2600 engine and Frank C was glad to find reasonably priced Gunzie Aqueous Paints. 
This week's tool was a hollow punch set. Gil uses them on wine bottle foil to make reflectors for headlights, which he fills with UV curing resin. A 3/16" disk approximates a 1/25 scale auto headlight. With the demise of MV Lenses a few years ago, punches may be the best way to make lights for vehicles.
Tips on spill prevention and control - Use a Forstner bit to drill shallow holes in a 2x4 to hold bottles in an upright position. Don't have tools? Find a centerpiece tealight holder at a home decor store. Citadel, among others, have anti-spill paint pods. Look online. Or, if you're the DIY type, tape the bottle to an old jar lid with double faced tape. Many people use kraft paper, newspaper, or a silicone mat to protect their work surface. Spills are easily removed from tempered glass or metal work surfaces. Using pipettes or a syringe to load an airbrush is safer than pouring directly from a bottle. 
The next meeting is Tuesday, 6/30/26, at 7:30. Invites to follow. Hope you can join us.

Other properties that will be included, but not limited to, will be: Battlestar Galactica, ALIEN, Buck Rogers, Blade Runner, X-Files, Babylon 5, Space: Above & Beyond, Battle Beyond the Stars, The Thing, The Terminator, Star Crash, Outland, Logan’s Run, The Omega Man, Planet of the Apes, Shock Waves, Flash Gordon, Weird Science, War of the Worlds, Fantastic Voyage, Seaquest, Lost In Space, Forbidden Planet, etc.

Any questions? Feel free to speak with the sponsors.

BPMS Zoom Mini Meeting Report: June 9, 2026

Thirteen people attended. There's no Tuesday Zoom next week, the in-person meeting is Friday, 6/19/26, at the Community Center in Brooklyn. It's the Vertical Flight theme contest and Picnic Night. The contest is free; the picnic isn't (around $10 per). The meeting starts at 7:30 pm. Doors open around 5. Come early to help set up and hang out. See the club's blogspot for more details.

Simon reports AAA Hobbies in Magnolia, NJ continues to sell its remaining inventory at discounted prices, but he expects they'll close their doors soon.

We saw Erasmo's Twin Mustang, Vaughn's Eurocopter Tiger, Skycrane (with an expert's explanation of differences between the A and B cranes) and S-38 (with replacement struts made of stiff wires wrapped in paper), Kevin's Evel Knievel figure and Vanguard satellite, Gil's Lock & Load figure, Simon's Hiller X-18, Frank C's HH-53C and Russ' Huey Cobra. Acquisitions included: Etendard VP/IVM, Super Hornet, Bronco NOGS, Leopard 2A8, Sea Harrier, F-15 E Strike Eagle, and Vulcan B-2 (two of them, actually).

The tool was a cradle for an ultrasonic knife. Gil uses his ultrasonic often, and the cradle is a safe and convenient way to store it.

The featured topic, the first model I built, became a wide-ranging discussion on the kits we built, why they appealed to us, memorable mistakes, and the people who either encouraged us or thought we were wasting our time. And these are the models we remember building - Aurora Hellcat, Airfix Mig 15 , Revell Sherman tank, Hawk Project Vanguard satellite, Aurora "monster kits", Airfix Fokker Dr-1, F-86 Sabre, P-61 Black Widow, Aurora CH-54 A Skycrane, Aurora Demolition Demon, Tamiya Ford GPA, Strombecker Spacecraft, ITC US Navy Frogman, Lindberg Triceratops, Tamiya M-113, and Lindberg aircraft with build it yourself electric motors. A lot of these kits are still around, either as vintage kits or recent reissues or lurking in your stash. Go look. 
 
The next meeting is Friday, 6/19/26 at the Community Center, 2303 Bergen Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11234. Picnic Night and Vertical Flight. Until then, keep cool.

BPMS Zoom Mini Meeting: June 2, 2026

Featured Discussion: Using AI in the hobby.
 
Thirteen people attended.
This coming Saturday, 6/6/26, Frank D will host a tour at Floyd Bennett Field's Hanger B at 10 am. If you're interested, let Bobby know by Friday. 
The June theme contest, Vertical Flight, is Friday, 6/19/26, at the Community Center in Brooklyn. It's also Picnic Night.
Lou reports Great Wall's 1/72 Me-323 D-1 Gigant and 1/48 Fw-189 A-2, Takom's 1/35 US Army 1/4-ton Armored Truck (aka Jeep) and Ryefield's 1/35 M-109 A-7 and Tiger 1 (maybe Tiger 2? Sorry, I don't recall) with full interior and clear hull & turret are available.  
We saw Vaughn's S-38 (the kit's resin struts caused him no end of problems. Simon suggested some options), S-64  Skycrane, and Eurocopter HAP Tigre, Hugh's Kawanishi N1K2 "George", Michael C's large-scale 3D printed AT-ST Walker, Kevin's Regan (from The Exorcist) and Evel Knievel, Simon's Hiller X-18, Gil's Battle Angel Alita on a motorcycle, Russ' Huey Cobra and Bobby's VF-1 Valkyrie Gerwalk. Just one acquisition, 1/144 JMSDF P-1. 
Last week's tool was the endoscope. This week's tool was a lot smaller, an otoscope; a Bluetooth enabled camera designed to inspect ears. Around $5 on AliExpress. It's similar to the paintbrush camera Micro Mark offered a while ago. Maybe ship builders could use it for rigging/tying knots?
We had a very informative session on artificial intelligence (AI). Hugh shared made to order images generated by AI for contest materials for his club. He had less luck getting an accurate document about the history of a Squadron he served in, back in the day. Lee uploaded reference photos and kit instructions to Google Drive and had Claude AI look at the information and make suggestions to improve his vintage Convair Pogo kit. It gave him a panel scribing guide. Claude also handles simpler tasks, like tips on painting. When he's going to be a vendor, Gil uses AI to check prices. As we talked, Frank C. asked Google Gemini for 1/144 markings for a Zairian C-130. He didn't get what he expected but, by the next day, he was a lot closer to what he wanted. You can ask him about it at next Tuesday's Zoom. Meeting starts at 7:30 pm. Invites to follow. Hope to see you there. And/or at Hanger B this Saturday.

BPMS Zoom Mini Meeting Report: 05/26/2026

FEATURED DISCUSSION: Gotham City uses the Bat-Signal. What do you use when you run into a problem, your personal reference library, a fellow modeler, Website/YouTube, or something else?
 
Fourteen people attended. Frank D will host a tour of the aircraft restoration facility at Floyd Bennett Field's Hanger B on 6/6/26 at 10 am. See the club's website for more details. 
Lou reported I Love Kits' 1/16 Pak 40 75mm gun, ICM's 1/72 CH 54 Tarhe, and Trumpeter's 1/35 BMP 3 were available. He also reported hobby distributor Sevens International is now officially closed.
Last Saturday's Japan Village group build was attended by about 80 people. Many were from Queens and New Jersey. Needless to say, Bobby gave BPMS flyers to everyone he met. 
Russ shared photos of the Wildwood Naval Air Station Museum, and Mark gave a brief update on Noreastcon. It's at 2695 Henrietta Rd, Henrietta NY on 6/13/26.
We saw Vaughn's S-38 (a tough build, but it's coming along) and his now complete Century Series collection (F-100, RF- 101, F-101C, F-101 G, F-102, F-104, F-106, and F-107), Hugh's Kawanishi N1K2, Gordon's RGC-80 GM CAnnon, Simon's Hiller X18 and H8 K2 Emily, Kevin's Evel Knievel figure, Gil's Number Six (Battlestar Galactica) figure, Frank C's HH-53C and F-4, and Russ' Vigilante RA 5C. Acquisitions included Vietnam era aftermarket armor and artillery items, Schwimwagen update package, metal gun barrels, and Radar Men Rocketship.
The tool was a 7mm endoscope. If you're one of those guys who detail aircraft cockpits or tank interiors only to close them up, this is for you. Or use it to fight the Carpet Monster. Or to retrieve that screw that went down the drain. 
The topic was where do we go for help. Even though we have lots of books and magazines, the internet was the most common place we go for help. We've also asked other modelers, made Google searches, visited sites like Scalemates or Armorama, and watched YouTube review/build videos. Some prefer to develop solutions on their own. A few guys tried artificial intelligence and got mixed results. With that in mind, artificial intelligence will be next Tuesday's topic. If you've achieved something with AI, tell us the details. If you have an idea for AI but don't know where to begin, we'll talk about it. 
Next meeting is Tuesday at 7:30 pm. Invites to follow. Hope to see you there.

A message from member Frank DeSisto:

Hello BPMS! Once again, I am proposing to conduct a tour of the aircraft collection inside Hanger B at Floyd Bennett Field. The date is Saturday June 6th at 10AM. I also propose a "trunk sale/swap meet" in the parking lot afterwards, for those of you who may wish to add to or subtract from the stash. ALL are welcome!

BPMS Zoom Mini Meeting: 05/19/2026

Discussion Topic: You use it in your kitchen. Ever use it at your workbench? 
 
Thirteen people attended. The Japan Village group build is this Saturday, the 23rd, at 934 3rd Ave, in Brooklyn, from 1-6pm.  Accessible by public transit. 
Lou reports Revell Germany's 1/72 F-15C and Pz 4  Möbelwagen 37mm Flak 43 are available. 
The Vertical Flight theme contest is June 19th, same night as Picnic Night. The contest is free; the picnic isn't ($10.00 per person). 
Planning to attend Noreastcon (2695 Henrietta Rd, Henrietta NY ) on June 13 ?  If so, good luck. And bring back some pictures, please.
In IPMS news, Mark thanked Frank C for his article on BPMS for the Journal (publication date TBD).  IPMS contacted Bobby asking for write ups on models underrepresented in IPMS, like Gundam, fantasy and monsters.  They're interested in people and what they build, according to Bobby.
Getting back to the Semiquincentennial, Jimmy shared photos of a USMC F-18B (MALS 11) in special markings. Very impressive.  Erasmo shared photos of rare, historic, aircraft at the Aviodrome Museum in the Netherlands and the Royal Military Museum in Brussels.  
We saw Erasmo's Twin Mustang, Gordon's MSM 0 3C HyGogg, Simon's vintage Hiller X-18 Convertiplane, Kevin's Alce and the Cheshire Cat (with fluorescent paint highlights) and a sculpted pillow for Salome, Gil's 1/10 Wilma Flintstone, Mark's US Army, Afrika Korps and Iraqi figures, Frank C's HH-53C and Russ' Vigilante RA 5C. 
 
Acquisitions included: M1A2 SEP V-2, T-90 M, McLaren MCL 39 (a diecast from Bburago), and ROK FA-50. 
Eye protection/safety glasses was this week's tool.  Always a good idea, especially when you're using a rotary tool or grinder.  Thanks for reminding us, Gil. 
The topic was kitchen items we use for modeling. First thing to remember- when something becomes a modeling tool, never use it to prepare food again. That said, coffee mug and baby bottle warmers can warm spray paint cans, food dehydrators can speed up paint drying, and toaster ovens can bake sculpted items. Sponges are good for dry brushing, and non-scratch pads are good for weathering. Plastic cutting boards work as well as cutting mats. Paper towels can be used to smooth a surface. Wash parts with a hand strainer, very small parts with a tea infuser. Windex can remove mold release agents from kit parts. Products like Saran wrap or aluminum foil can be useful for masking. Parchment paper works in a wet pallet. Make self-adhesive foil by coating wax paper with gilding adhesive and carefully lay out the foil. Cut the foil as needed, peel from the wax paper and apply to the model. Chopsticks or bamboo skewers or toothpicks make good handles for painting. Toothpicks are also good for removing excess paint from canopy frames. A serving tray can be a portable workbench.  A small coffee frother can mix paint if you're very careful. Salt can be used to give paint a weathered look and baking powder mixed with thin super glue can fill gaps (remove excess material promptly). 
 
The next meeting is Tuesday, 5/26/26 at 7:30pm. Invites to follow. Hope to see you there. In the meantime, have a good Memorial Day.
