Thirteen
people attended the meeting. No Tuesday Zoom next week, the January
in-person meeting is Friday, the
19th, at the Community Center. Doors open around 6, and the meeting
starts around 7:30. Come and say hello to another President Tom, declare
your pledge model, sell or buy a kit and, most importantly, pay your
2024 club dues.
No industry news this week.
So
far, two people have made plans to attend the 2024 IPMS Nationals in
Madison WI. Rooms at the venue went very quickly, we heard.
Are you thinking of going?
In-progress
and completed work included: B-26 Marauder, Hawker Hurricane, DH-4,
Albatros, Me-262 A1a, Catwoman, VW tractor trailer
Baja Beast conversion and Mig-29.
Acquisitions included: Pt-17 (stick & tissue kit), Aston Martin DB-5, Ferrari 246 and F-84 F.
Mark
gave a brief report on an IPMS meeting he attended in Boise and shared
photos of the meeting in addition to photos from the Warhawk
Air Museum in Idaho.
The
featured tool was the 15a cutting tweezer. A cross between a nail
clipper and a tweezer, it's good for removing those hard-to-reach
parts from sprues.
Lack
of a featured topic didn't stifle discussion. We spoke about ways to
display an aircraft in flight, ways
to modify aircrew figures, who makes the best gloss paint, detailing
with a calligraphy pen, good sources for books and (old news if you saw
Vaughan's email earlier today) we tried to identify an aircraft
component laying around the Warhawk Air Museum. No,
it wasn't a door plug.
Next meeting is Friday 1/19/24 at the Community Center. Details are in the newsletter. No invites needed. Hope
to see you there.
