BPMS 07/16/2020 Zoom mini meeting report

A total of fourteen people attended the meeting. By coincidence, two guys who didn't join second session were replaced by two guys who had other commitments during the first session. The important thing is that we had enough people to make the raffle interesting. OK, not everybody can spare 80 minutes every Thursday night. Family obligations, work and actually building a kit can take-up a lot of time. But even a 10 minute "pop-in" is a good way to keep in touch and maybe share some model building wisdom. If you don't have a camera, you can phone it in. Now, back to the report. We discussed ways to clean resin parts prior to painting, removing masking residue without removing paint, priming models with commercial auto primer (properly thinned) and the performance of various acrylic metallic paints. Works in Progress included Intruder, Leduc 022, FW 191 and Kingfisher, to name a few. Two recently acquired F 14s and a Saunders Roe flying boat are sure to become Works in Progress soon. The next meeting is July 23 at 8 pm. Invites to follow. Hope to see you there.
