Featured Discussion - the longest day
Fourteen
people attended the meeting. New releases, Takom's V-1 launch site and
Meng's T-72BCM, both in 1/35. Frank reported getting a delivery from
Models UA in Ukraine. That's good to hear.
It started a conversation about increased shipping charges and how
that's changed (or hasn't) our buying habits. Kosta told us about a Tiger 1 look alike
he saw at the Museum of American Armor near Old Bethpage Village. He also said Revolutionary and Civil
War re-enactments are planned for 0ld Bethpage Village in the next two weeks.

In progress and completed work included: Wyatt Earp bust, James Dean bust, Jabba the Hut, Comanche
(conversion to production version), PHM Pegasus, Oliver Hazard Perry
class frigate, USS Grenville, Pretorian Guard figure, '63 Nova Station
Wagon, Yak -28, Panzer 4 G, Field Marshel Rommel figure, F-84 (Greek
markings), Blackburn Buccaneer and P-51 B. Acquisitions
included: Krrsantan (Wookiee bounty hunter), RJ
McCready bust (from 1982's The Thing),
Big Muddy Monster and Lacrosse Mobile Launcher.
We
had tips on straightening resin parts, organizing tools and eliminating seams. I expect we'll revisit these topics in future. There
were several
interpretations of the longest day theme, from aircraft and people
associated with D-Day to submarines, where many long days are spent
underwater, to Stonehenge, where they (Druids? Aliens?) measured the
longest day and to those model builds that just go
on and on. The next meeting is 6/28/22 at 7:30 pm. Invites to follow.
Hope to see you there.
