Fifteen people attended the meeting. No new releases
reported. Mark, Kosta and Gil went to Noreastcon last Saturday, where
Kosta and Gil placed. We'll see photos at a later date. We heard that a
restored F7-U Cutlass was
delivered to the USS Midway in San Diego.
In progress and completed work included: A-6, EA-6,
F-16, Valentine and Matilda tanks (rescued from the shelf of doom),
Marlon Brando bust (from On the Waterfront), BA-20 armored car, Soviet
Submarine Project
628, Kyushu Q1-W1 Lorna, An-2 and Ju-52 (in Milka Chocolate markings-
see the actual Ju-52 on our Facebook page), anti-tank gun, Sherman
Calliope and Jeep Rubicon. Acquisitions included: XB-70 Valkyrie, KC
135R, OV-1 Mohawk, Javelin AAWS-M and Jimmy's latest
finds (see our Facebook page for the full list). Gil showed us how a
Blow Off Duster can be used to clean out Testors spray paint nozzles. Kevin explained how he applied layers of splattered color to get a realistic skin tone for
his Marlon Brando bust.
We discussed various ways of keeping track of our work.
Some people don't document anything other than unbuilt kits, others
record the manufacturer, when it was built and give it a rating. Some
use Blogspot
to create a building log. A picture with a date stamp is sufficient
documentation for most. Some put dates on instruction sheets and file
them away and some put the completion date on the model itself.
The next meeting is Tuesday, 5/9/23 at 7:30 pm. Invites
to follow. Stay safe, whether you're celebrating Cinco de Mayo or The
Kentucky Derby.
