BPMS Zoom Mini Meeting: 11/11/2025

Ten people attended. it was good to see Chi again. It's been a while.

No Tuesday Zoom next week, the November in-person meeting is Friday, the 21st. Come and enjoy the Super Raffle and the last quarterly contest of 2025.

The LIMCS (figure) show is Saturday , 11/15/24, at the Freeport Rec Center on Long Island, and the Big Apple Comic Con is Saturday, 11/22/25 at the New Yorker Hotel, 481 8th Ave, in Manhattan.

The holiday luncheon will be at Wheeler's, 1705 Sheepshead Bay Road, Brooklyn on Saturday, 12/6/25 at 1 pm. $45.00 per person. The subway (Q) is nearby.

Lou reports Academy's 1/144 B-2 and Tamiya's 1/35 Pak 38 are available.

Bobby said the IPMS Journal is looking for articles. They're happy to edit the text but they have specific requirements for pictures. Contact Bobby directly if you're interested.

The on-line company Mega Hobby announced it is going out of business next year. Until then, keep checking their website for clearance sales.

A new Harbor Freight has opened in Brooklyn at the intersection of Ave U and Nostrand Ave, across from Brennan and Carr (a landmark for the guys from Brooklyn).

We saw Vaughn's F-100, Kevin's Mothman and Doomsday Rocket (from Beneath the Planet of the Apes), Simon's VL Myrsky (a vintage Aviation-Usk kit), Frank G' s Wright Flyer, Gil's 3D printed Steampunk Female figure and Bobby's TL-800 (a testbed for sponge painting).

Acquisitions included: F-14 B, F-18 C/D Hornet decals, 3 D Printed Schurzen hangers for A/D Panthers, and 3D Printed GR-20 and Sidewinder missiles from Fab Scale.

A 1-2-3 block was the featured tool. Designed for machinists to check squareness, measure, mark/scribe, 1-2-3 blocks are also useful for model construction. Another, albeit much cheaper tool, is he cardboard egg carton. Simon showed us how it can be used to hold an aircraft in position for assembly or painting. Also good for organizing small parts.

The Black Friday discussion was interesting. To Lou, the third Friday of every month is Black Friday, and we appreciate it. Gil wants to thin out his stash, so send him your list and if he has what you want, he'll give you a Black Friday price. We had time to discuss other things, the history of the F-100 A,C and D and how judging systems can influence modelers, especially those who build to follow specific contest rules in hopes of winning rather than building, or trying to build, a quality model.

The next meeting is Friday, 11/21/25 at the Community Center in Brooklyn. Doors open around 5pm, and the meeting starts around 7:30. Forget Mega Millions, think Super Raffle! Our big winners won't have relatives coming out of the woodwork asking for a share of the prize. At least, I don't think they will.

BPMS Zoom Mini Meeting: 11/04/2025

Featured Discussion: Election Day!

Thirteen people attended and voted. Here, in alphabetical order, are the top two in each race: best kit manufacturer - Hasegawa, Tamiya (Jimmy cast a write in vote for our own Israel A), best paint- Tamiya, Vallejo (Bobby wrote in craft store paint, Gil wrote in Amsterdam Inks), best airbrush - Paasche H, Iwata (Mark wrote in " the one that's not clogged"), best glue - Tamiya thin, Tamiya airbrush thinner (tube glue was Vaughn's write in), least useful aftermarket accessory - many contenders but no clear winner. Here they are, you decide - brass toothpicks, sawtooth X-Acto blades, anything photoetch, Dremel sets, and things you would have made for yourself if you knew what they looked like before you bought them, like the proprietary paint chipping tool that's nothing more than a piece of sponge on a stick.

Now, back to our regular program.
Lou reports Meng's winterized Kubelwagon and Amusing Hobby's T-80 U (with interior), both in 1/35, are available.

The Freeport Rec Center will host the LIARS (car) show on 11/8/25 and the LIMCS (figure) show on 11/14-15/25.

The holiday party is at 1 pm Saturday, 12/6/25 at Wheeler's, 1705 Sheepshead Bay Road, Brooklyn. $45.00 per person.

Mark complemented Frank C for our chapter's prompt re-chartering.

Erasmo was on the road, and he shared a photo of the Short SC-1 on display at the Ulster Folk and Transport Museum in Cultra, Northern Ireland.

We saw Vaughn's F-100 and RF-101, Kevin's Nightmare, Mothman and Doomsday Bomb (from Beneath the Planet of the Apes), Erasmo's RF-101, Mark's H-35, Frank C's F-4 G and Bobby's TL 800. Acquisitions included: B-58 Hustler, F-106 A Delta Dart and CF-188.

The featured tool was, oddly enough, a glass file Gil found in the dollar store. Glass files may be of limited use but, for $1.25, why not get a few?

The next meeting is Tuesday, 11/11/25 ay 7:30 pm. Invites to follow. Hope to see you there.

A correction: I forgot to mention that some people felt glass files belonged in the least useful category.

BPMS Zoom Mini Meeting 10/28/2025

Ten people attended.

Lou reported MiniArt's 1/48 P-47 M is available and Frank C said there was a new Chinook from Airfix .

The BPMS holiday party will be Saturday, 12/6/25 at Wheeler's, 1705 Sheepshead bay Road, Brooklyn, at 1 PM. $45.00 per person. Let me know if you're interested.

BayCon is 11/2/25 in Franklin, MA and there will be two events at the Freeport Rec Center, on Long Island, the LIARS (car) show on 11/8/25 and the LIMCS (figure) show on 11/14-15 /25.
Frank and Vaughan were wondering how to correct some rotor heads (not to be confused with the heavy metal band) and Gil offered to investigate a 3D printed option.

We saw Vaughn's F-100 and F-10, Kevin's Nightmare, Chuck's P-38 and Sturmovik and Simon's Yokosuka H5Y-1. Frank C acquired a reference book for the Sepecat Jaguar.

This week's tool was a JM Y10 ultrasonic cutter/polisher. The blades move at 40K vibrations per second, making it good for removing delicate parts from runners. It will cut plastic, fiberglass, photo etch, resin. Gil was very impressed by this tool. Just remember to order the US, not Japanese style, plug.

Most of us buy kits and supplies online, but we've spent time and money at these old school hobby shops:
Bayshore Hobbies, 2056 Sunrise Highway, Bayshore, NY 11706
Willis Hobbies, 300 Willis Ave, Mineola, NY 11501

New BPMS Benefit

New BPMS Benefit

Beginning in January meeting, from 5 to 7PM, members can bring a model to work on or get an opinion or advice with a sticking point.

For the past year or so the meeting room has been opened to us at 5PM for those wishing to arrive early and “hangout and talk models.”

Thanks to an idea brought to the club by member Eric E., who asked can we work on a kit during that time? President-elect Kevin K. started putting the pieces together and Facilities Director, Vinny R., has given the OK, providing the tables are protected, to bring your and work on your current model.

Let’s see the kit your building pre-meeting from 5 to 7PM!

October 21, 2025 BPMS Zoom Mini Meeting

Featured Discussion: Weathering Tires: Tell us how you show worn and weathered tires on your aircraft, armored vehicles, trucks, motorcycles, etc.

Ten people attended. Lou reported Miniart's 1/48 P 47N is available.

The government shutdown continues, so the 10/25/25 tour of the restoration facility at Floyd Bennett Field arranged by Frank D won't be happening.

The 2025 holiday party will be at Wheeler's, 1705 Sheepshead Bay Rd, Brooklyn, on Saturday 12/6/25 at 1pm. Price is $45 per person. A menu is attached . Wheeler's is close to the Sheepshead Bay station on the Q line. If you can't get to the Friday night meetings this is an easy way to catch up with the group. Please let me know if plan to attend.

Last Saturday's group build at Japan Village was very well attended (Bobby estimated about 60 people were there) with hourly raffles and vendors. Photos are on the BPMS Facebook page. Thanks, Julio, for setting it up.

We saw Kevin's Moon Hopper and Dr Copper (from The Thing), Gil's Rat Rod Girl figure, 3D printed drag bike (and 3DPrinted assembly jig), Frank C's F-4 G Wild Weasel and Bobby's TL-800.

Chuck acquired several vintage aircraft kits (WW1 fighter set, P-40, Strumovic, Do-17) at Westchester Trains and Hobbies in Jefferson Valley NY and Jimmy got some brand-new aftermarket items for his F4J and F-18.

Lots of tools this week. Gil introduced us to the Hubest 3 set Model Rivet Maker Tool, Bobby talked about his rechargeable COB work light (see Team Chat on Zoom for details), Chuck told us how cuticle scissors are good for cutting out small decals and Frank C showed us an 18"x11 ¾ " Modeling Mat from Hobby Lobby. Frank C is also looking into using Krylon as an alternative to Testors Decal Bonder.

We got advice on weathering tires with pastels and fixatives (Kevin recommends the Ammo by mig products). Then we got to talking about the various speed paints out there -Army Painter Speed Paint 2.0, Citadel Contrast Paint, Vallejo Express Paint - and how to use them.

The next meeting is Tuesday, 10/28/25 at 7:30 pm. Invites to follow. Hope to see you there.

UPCOMING: JAPAN VILLAGE GROUP BUILD: 10/18/2025

Wednesday, October 08, 2025

Zoom Meeting Report for Oct. 7th.

Twelve modelers generally content with the variety of currently available kits attended the Oct. 7 BPMS Zoom Meeting. The meeting theme asked what desirable models had been announced but never released.

Lou cautioned that some kits just remain in development for a very long time. The 1/32 scale A-6 Intruder from Trumpeter took 10 years to come to market. However, the 1/700 scale USS Enterprise announced long ago in the DML catalog never appeared. “That is the kingpin of missing kit announcements. “ Lou reported no new kits released this week and observed the annual Tamiya holiday announcement promised only cars, without new aircraft, armor, or naval releases. “This is the first time it’s ever happened.”

Tom K now awaits the 1/35 scale Heinkel 111 from Border Models. Test shots of the big, new bomber with realistically wrinkled ‘tin-can’ skins have appeared on Facebook. However, our grizzled former president concluded, “I’ve been promised a lot of things. I’m still waiting.”

Vaughan’s work on his 1/72-scale F-100 Super Sabre and RF-101 Voodoo has been stalled by “one decal disaster after another.” Vaughan over-sprayed one sheet of decals with Testor’s Glosscote and found some of the markings curled in water while others refused to come off their paper backing. Replacement decals proved so fragile that the uncoated markings just disintegrated in water. Vaughan’s list of wished-for but never-announced kits includes early Cessna light aircraft and a 1/48 model of Sikorsky’s S-67 Blackhawk gunship.

Jimmy T noted that sprues in Tamiya’s F-4B Navy Phantom are marked for an F-4C/D Air Force version still to be announced. Exciting plans for 1/35 scale Star Wars Walkers from DML never came to be. Jimmy also recalled CAD drawings of a new-mold 1/48 OA-4M Skyhawk published a decade ago by Kinetic Models though the kit itself never materialized. “That’s the only thing I’d like to see.”

Russell called into the BPMS Zoom meeting from California and announced that he was venturing into paper-modeling. “I’m realizing I can just make a mess, print another sheet, and take another shot at it.” Among promised plastic kits he acknowledged, “I’m always looking for someone to do a Sherman Duplex Drive. I don’t know why they haven’t done that yet.”

Simon expressed his wish for an Avro Lincoln, the long-range Lancaster Mk 4 bomber built for the RAF to fight the Pacific war but ultimately sold to Argentina and other post-war operators. He also wants quality kits of the Lancastrian and York airliners. Simon noted a Handley Page Hastings transport, issued by Roden in 1/144 scale, appeared in 1/72 scale only in an expensive resin kit. “That was the one I was hoping to see that never came out. Simon later showed his modeling talent with images of his neat kit-bashed Hastings conversion.

Gil continues working on the Moebius model of the Spindrift spaceship from Land of Giants, one more replica to join his Aurora and Lunar Models kits. “You can’t have enough Spindrifts,” he said. Significantly, 3-D printing and kit-bashing has answered a lot of Gil’s kit dreams. “All the kits I ever wanted, they came out.” Gil showed his own resin-cast sculpture of Raquel Welch from Fantastic Voyage and noted heavy, expensive garage castings have been superseded by 3-D printing.

Bobby showed the fine detail captured in Gil’s 3-D printed Selene from the Underworld movies. The new technology grows more widespread with home printers and cheap or free STL files readily available on-line. Bobby P added, “It’s pretty much killed the entire garage-kit business.” He still wishes for kits of the Gundam Zaku robots. The cool-looking Zakus were available only in Japan and sold out immediately.

Gil’s weekly tool tip was a ¼ in. square paper punch used to make sandpaper squares glued to the end of wooden dowels – End Sanders. “There are those times where you can’t get a file or a sanding stick in that one area.” Gil also showed chopsticks with an alligator clip at one end and hanging hook at the other to suspend painted parts as they dry.

Kevin K continues work on his moon-hopper from the UFO TV Series and says he finds plenty of projects to build on the current market.

Frank C showed his recently completed 1/72 scale Hasegawa F-35A in subdued Japanese markings. He also shared a boxtop image of Minicraft’s 1/144 scale LC-130J ski-Hercules, posted on the Minicraft website but never released before the company went under. Fortunately, Academy has acquired Minicraft molds and may yet produce the ski-equipped Antarctic Hercules.

There will be NO on-line Zoom next Tuesday, but the BPMS will meet in-house at the Bergen Beach Sports Complex on Friday, October 17.

The October 17 in-house meeting will feature this year’s Pledge Models. Completed Pledge Models will earn BPMS members five bonus tickets in the always-exciting Super Raffle!

The last Group Build of the year is scheduled for October 18 at Japan Village.

The announced tour of Brooklyn's historic Floyd Bennett Field on October 25 has been canceled due to the Federal Government shutdown.

ANNOUNCEMENT!
Japan Village, Brooklyn Group Build - 10/18/25

Display tables! More seating! bring a model and join us for a day of building models and fun!

BPMS Zoom Mini Meeting Report: 09/30/2025

Featured Discussion: At the September meeting, we learned open super glue can be stored for long periods in a glass container. At a recent zoom meeting, we learned how a sheet of glass can diagnose an airbrush problem. Tell us what else only glass can do.

Ten people attended. Lou reported MiniArt's 1/48 P-47D, Hobby Boss' 1/48 Bf-109 E4, 1/35 Pz4 J and BMD1-P, Border Model's 1/35 Stug 3G (with interior) and US WW2 tank crew are available. Lou also offered a solution for Vaughn's Paasche VL airbrush problem - try a #1 nozzle with a #3 needle.

Bobby knows a modeler in Manhattan with many IPMS Journals and FSM magazines he wants to give away. All you have to do is pick them up. Interested? Contact Bobby before they go to the recycling pile.

Rooms are still available for the 2026 IPMS Nationals in Fort Wayne.

Armorcon is 10/3-4/25 at the Wyndham Southbury, 1284 Strongtown Rd, Southbury, CT and the Hudson Valley show is 10/11/25 at the Elks Club Hall, 29 Overocker Road, Poughkeepsie, NY.

Mark shared photos from last Sunday's Patcon and mentioned a judging issue that marred the well-attended event. Gil was annoyed that his entry was damaged, and no explanation or apology was given. This led to a long discussion on judging procedures, how models are handled at different shows and the story about a model marked "Damaged in Transit" that was entered in several shows and never repaired.

Frank C learned the tariff on two kits worth about $55 was $7 and the brokerage fee for UPS to collect the tariff was another $16. Ouch!

We saw Vaughn's F-100D and RF-101 and Kevin's Moon Hopper. Simon posted photos of his Fw-200 earlier in the day. Acquisitions included: Dr Cooper bust (from The Thing), Kettenkraftkrad, B-2 and F-18 Hornet aftermarket nose.

The featured product was Clear UV curing resin from Honcaring. Intended for jewelry it's a good way to represent vehicle headlights.

Discussing glass as a modeling tool, we heard about magnifiers, tempered glass panes used for cutting surfaces and parts alignment and as pallets for paint, glue, and putty. Glass eyedroppers, syringes, and stirrers are good for working with acrylic paints. Glass test tubes are handy to soak files, airbrush needles, etc. in cleaning solutions. But probably the most important piece of glass is the one in your window. Nothing beats natural light for building a model. Thanks, Simon, for pointing that out.

The next meeting is Tuesday, 10/7/25 at 7:30 pm. Frank C will send the invites. Hope you can attend.

September 23, 2025 BPMS Zoom Mini Meeting Report

Six people attended. Frank C moderated.

Lou reports three Atlantis kits are available: 1/48 M-4 Sherman, 1/40 Talos Missile and 1/40 Tactical Missile Set.

The passing of Sergei Sikorsky at the age of 100 led to a discussion of his life (he served in the Coast Guard at Floyd Bennett Field during WW2, among other things), the Sikorsky family, helicopter development and where Igor Sikorsky is buried.

Mark shared a photo of Dottie Mae, the P-47D that was recovered from the bottom of a lake in Austria, where it lay for 60 years. Restored to flying condition, it participated in several air shows. Thanks, Mark.

Patcon is 9/28/25 , in Hudson, MA. Armorcon is 10/3-4/25 in Southbury, CT and the Hudson Valley show is 10/11/25 in Poughkeepsie, NY.

We saw Vaughn's RF 101C and F-100 D (if you need 1/48 F-100D decals, ask Vaughn), Gil's 3D printed swamp buggy, Russ' M-109, Mark's H-39, and Frank C's JF-104 and F-35A.

The featured tool is from Home Depot. It's a hex head PVC pipe plug. Put it on your bench head down and it becomes a sturdy paint bottle holder. Visit the plumbing department and find the size that works for you.

The topic was road trip tool kits. We heard about kits ranging in size from tube glue and an X-acto knife in a pocket to a small container with tube, white and super glues, black, white, o.d. and silver paints, paint brush, toothpicks, tweezers, X-acto knife, tape, mini clothes pins, and sanding sticks. Others were somewhere in between. What'll be in your Hudson -Southbury - Poughkeepsie repair kit?

The next meeting is Tuesday, 7:30 pm. Invites to follow. Hope to see you there.

Phishing Notice from the IPMS/USA

An email notice from the IPMS/USA

International Plastic Modeler Society

We want to make you aware that Phishing scams are on the rise again. One of them that we are aware of is an email that appears to be from "IPMS/USA", and states that one of our officers, or local chapters needs you to "handle an urgent payment for them." We will never ask you to personally pay for something for our organization.

These emails look very real, use our real names and titles, but usually you can double check the actual sender email and see that they are not from our email address but rather another address.

We get several notices a week from members that receive them and are concerned. We can tell you; the organization is in good financial shape, and certainly doesn't need you to send us anything other than your annual membership dues. Thank you!

Tour on Saturday, October 25th, at Brooklyn's historic Floyd Bennett Field.

Message from Frank Desisto:

Greetings IPMS Brooklyn!

Some of you guys know me; some do not.
Regardless, yours truly is hosting tour on Saturday, October 25th, at Brooklyn's historic Floyd Bennett Field.
As a National Park Service Volunteer in my 15th year, I sometimes go to the field for various reasons. What may be of interest to modelers is Hanger "B", which houses the HARP (Historic Aircraft Restoration Project) collection. With a few exceptions, most are "warbirds", some of which were previously displayed at the USS Intrepid Museum.
The tour will begin at approximately 0930 (AM to us regular folks) and last for about two hours. This will be followed by a drive-through tour of the field and a possible visit to the Ryan Visitor's Center, housed in the recently restored terminal/control tower.
There are no vendors so if attending, please bring food and beverages. We will chow-down at an outdoor pavilion at the field's nature center.
It is possible that we may also be able to witness flight operations of the NYPD Aviation Unit, which is stationed nearby on the old Coast Guard Air Station, but that is not certain.
Please PM me on my Facebook page if interested, for more details. I do not wish to clog this group with any back-and-forth conversations. As taxpayers it is OUR National Recreation Area, so family and friends are welcome, but no pets. Oh, and BTW, access is free.
