Featured Discussion: Looking for Decals
Fifteen people attended. Mark reminded us the
Nationals will be 8/6-9/25 in Hampton, Va. See the IPMS website for
details on hotels, etc. Mark also thanked Bobby and Julio for their
suggestions on Gundam categories for future IPMS
contests.
Julio's next Pier 57 group build will be 4/19/25. Save the date.
Jimmy posted several new 1/16
AFV kits on the BPMS Facebook page, which led to a discussion on the
appeal (they're cool) and practically (who has room?) of large-scale
kits.
Vaughan's attempt to bleach a yellowed vac form canopy by prolonged exposure to sunlight was successful, much to his surprise.
In progress and completed work
included: P-51 Mustang, Porsche 934 (Mark's article on painting it will
appear in the Club's Bulletin), Kingfisher, Abominable Snowman &
Rudolf (both sculpted
by Kevin), 3D printed paratrooper pinup figure (a Lieutenant, according
to Gil), USS Jimmy Carter (Michael found that brush painting a 1/700
submarine can be challenging) and F-84 E.
Acquisitions included: Kubelwagon, Mangalore (from The 5th Element) and Inspector Kemp (from Young Frankenstein).
A set of drill bits for tile was the featured tool, highly recommended for drilling resin or 3D printed parts.
In our "Go Fish" game of
decals, Eric is looking for 1/48 Israeli A-4 markings and Russ is
looking for 1/48 Sea Harrier markings. Everyone else is standing pat.
The next meeting is Tuesday,
2/4/25 at 7:30 pm. Invites to follow. Whether or not the Groundhog sees
its shadow on Sunday, we'd like to see you on Tuesday.
