10/22/20 BPMS Zoom mini meeting report

Ten people attended the meeting. While there wasn't  much industry news (one new release, the Discovery from Space Odyssey) we saw a lot of in progress and completed work including: El Camino, Stratocruser, Boultan Paul Defiant target tug, Tu 16 Badger, FW Ta 283, Jagdpanther (with paper zimmerit), Panther A (with decal zimmerit), Creature from the Black Lagoon, Gill Woman, and "Buddy Cthulhu". We had a wide ranging discussion - using a UV light designed to dry nail polish for curing paint, plastic canopy masks vs. paper/tape masks, wheel masks made with a circle compass, another tool (details needed) to cut thin circles for masks, removing dust from models with a 50/50 mix of Murphy's Oil Soap and water,  Vallejo premium acrylics, Liquid Gravity, lead putty, dealing with Ali Express and, as an unexpected bonus, informative Q&A sessions on 3D printing and creating photo etch items. Next meeting is 10/29/20  at 8 pm. Invites to follow. Hope to see you there.
