Bulletin for August, 2008

THE MINUTES
by Bobby P.
July was another great meeting with a turnout of 25 members, 2 guests bringing in 22 models for a night of metal finishes!

JULY MEETING!!!
METAL FINISHES: If you blinked, you might’ve missed something important. First Gordon discussed airbrushing acrylics and achieving various shading effects. Then Don showed us how non-intimidating it is to work with bare-metal foil. Jimmy presented Don with the money that the members had collected for him to assist with his challenges from earlier this year. Thanks to all the members who chipped in. Thanks to Don and Gordon for the informative clinic.

FAVORITE MODEL NIGHT: Looks like some guys brought in stuff, but the metal finish clinic was extensive enough to take up most of our meeting time. This will have to wait for another night

You can see pics from each meeting on Gordon’s blog:

On the agenda: August
CONTEST NIGHT 3RD QTR 2008: Where has the year gone? The third installment of the annual contest is upon us! Bring in your goodies that haven’t been entered in a quarterly contest to rack up some votes. If you brought anything new for the Warsaw Pact Theme Contest you can bring them back.

RESIN CASTING CLINIC: One of our more recent members, Matt Leone has spent quite a bit of time, effort, and money assembling an impressive rig for resin casting. This month Matt will present a clinic on the ins and outs of resin casting. Bring your questions, and a notepad. This is going to be a good ‘un!

SUMMER BBQ: Who doesn’t love a good bar-be-que? Well, over the last couple years the BPMS BBQ night has really gained in popularity. So it’s August and it’s back again. Burgers and dogs are one the menu. Everyone is invited to bring any goodies they want to go along with it. Bring a little bit of cash. This year the price tag to eat is merely $7.

REGARDING PHOTO ROSTER STATUS: Hugh sent me a series of emails with the finished product. Let’s see if I can get it into the upcoming bulletins. Since it’s over six pages, I will, likely, be including one page per month, so you will have to save at least one page from the bulletin each month if you want to have the complete roster.
AUGUST MEETING WILL BE ON FRIDAY THE 15TH!
IT'S COMING FAST THIS MONTH!
