October 29, 2024 - BPMS ZOOM Mini Meeting

Featured Discussion: Your most ambitious project... Did you celebrate it or regret it?

 

Eleven people attended. 

 

Lou reports Trumpeter's Pz 3 J, Stug 3G (both 1/16), MTLB ZU 23, BTR 70 (both 1/35), Mig 29 PM, F8F2 Bearcat, Eurofighter Typhoon (all 1/32), Me 509, EA 3B Sky Warrior (both 1/48) are available. Watch for Tamiya's 1/35 Pz 1 B and F 35 C. 

 

Gil told us about the Hudson Valley show last Saturday. Being a vendor, he didn't have a lot of time in the model room but he liked what he saw, especially the 1/35 Sky Crane with folded rotors. Several BPMS members went to Poughkeepsie where they met Gil, Mark and Vaughan in person, rather than virtually. Pictures of the event are on the BPMS Facebook page.

 

Bobby recapped the last IPMS Region 1 virtual meeting. They asked how can IPMS attract people to shows and attract younger people to the hobby? That led to a discussion on Gundams, their history and the very large number of different Gundams theoretically available. We closed it out with our thoughts on judging and award types, 1st, 2nd, 3rd place or gold, silver, bronze ratings. 

 

Completed and in progress work included: Ta-152, Mirage, Werewolf (American, London), Norris Spider head (from The Thing), Hover Tank (scratch-built), Willy Ley orbital rocket, F -16 I and SR -71.

 

The tool tip was using magnets to attach models to bases, secure removable panels, attach subassemblies, even stabilize tail heavy aircraft. Small, powerful magnets are widely available and inexpensive. Just remember,  opposites attract, so test fit, then glue.

 

We all had ambitious plans. Some projects, like Vaughan's Saab Draken, Kevin's Circle of Life tableau, Gil's Hover Tank and Frank's F-16, came out well. The Airfix B-17 Chuck is building is, in turns, frustrating and rewarding. One of Kevin's Medusas (he's done several) had a lot more parts than the expected, which took away some of the fun and building the Kitty Hawk P-39Q set a new profanity per part count record, according to Vaughan. Several guys admitted to losing interest in projects that sat around too long. A good observation - less ambitious plans usually have better outcomes. 

 

Today is Halloween. There's still time to trick or treat, just be home by 7:30 pm on Tuesday, 11/5/24, for our next meeting. Invites to follow. Hope to see you there. The 5th is also Election Day.
