January set the pace for another year. The first meeting of 2007 had a great turnout of 29 members, one guest and 25 models on the tables. We had a good turnout for the Model of the Year Contest.

JANUARY MEETING!!!

NEW REGIME: Jimmy, Prez, and Ray, Veep, ascended to their new roles in the club and did a great job of it. A couple of naturals!

MODEL OF THE YEAR: It was the final throw-down for category supremacy in 2006. The awards will be presented during the February meeting.

On the agenda: February

SHOW US YOUR TOOL: I know it sounds terrible, but it really isn’t. Bring in some tools or other goodies that you use when building a model. It can be only sort of odd or end, eg: a cement, a process you use, or some method, and be prepared to tell us a couple words about it.

CONTEST NIGHT 1Q07: This will be the first installment of the annual contest. You are permitted to bring models from the Star Wars / Star Trek Theme contest provide they haven’t been in a previous annual contest. Don’t forget to put your models in the right sections and have all your paperwork filled out. Without a contest form you won’t get any votes, period!

KIT SALE: Bring in stuff to sell if you feel like clearing those shelves. Don’t forget to bring money, too. Someone might have that Holy Grail kit you’ve been looking for, and there’s no tab at this bar! We did it in January, we’ll do it again for February. Why not?

SPEICHER UPDATE
Supporting the Modelers in Iraq in 2007

First, I’d like to thank everyone for their generous donations in 2006. And though we all want our troops to be coming home this year, the reality is that our support of the Speicher Model Group will be needed for 2007. As you canvas your collection for potential donations, or as you think of our troops while shopping at the local hobby shop, the Internet, or the dollar store, please keep the following in mind:

• No flammable liquids, so no enamel paints, lacquer paints, and no model airplane cement
• Acrylic paints and superglues are OK, as are white glues
• Please check kits to make sure that all of the parts are there - especially the clear parts and decals
• Tools of all kinds are needed - brushes, knives, sandpaper, sanding sticks, tweezers
• Decals and hobby magazines are welcome

Thanks,
Hugh A.

Editor’s Note: At the last meeting we discussed some items they can really use over there. So here’s a shopping list: tweezers, sprue cutters, super glue, and other supplies. Thanks guys! ~B2

MEETING DATE: FEBRUARY 16TH, 2007
SAME TIME, SAME PLACE!
