Twelve people attended. The
next group build is tomorrow, 8/3/24, at BrookLAN, 136 Troutman St,
(Brooklyn) from 2 to 6pm. Building models in a bar. What could be
better?
Congratulations to Mark N on being named
IPMS's Regional Coordinator of the Year. Unfortunately, he didn't make
it to the Nationals, but Charlie did and he gave us a full report on the
show. Son Steve, you may recall, posted a link
to pictures of the event on Monday.
We heard that several companies are coming out with new kits of the Pzkw 1 tank, S-55 helicopter, A-4 and F-14 B.
In progress and completed work included: FL-282 Kolibri, F-22, Stinson Reliant, Igor bust, Sam Elliott bust, Evel Knievel bust,
Skyray prototype, RW-D 6, Tiger 1, River Tam figure (from Firefly) and A-6 (Frank had a pleasant build, thanks to tips from Vaughn).
The discussion on making your own decals
brought to mind the old saying, if it was easy, everyone would do it.
Several people tried and were disappointed with the results. Gil, who
scans kit decals into a library for backup, is
more familiar with the dos and don'ts of printing decals on laser or
ink jet printers and not wasting space on the decal paper. It can be
intimidating. Guess that's why they have people who make decals, like
https://www.decalcomaniacs.
Next meeting is Tuesday, Aug 5, at 7:30 pm. Invites to follow. Hope to see you there and at BrookLAN.
