My name is David Bennett and I am the president/creator/whatever of the ModelWorx Model club in Raleigh, NC. I started the club way back in 2010 to focus on models based on sci-fi, horror, fantasy, mecha, Kaiju, etc.  ModelWorx has recently branched out and we now have a Charlotte chapter as well.

I'm reaching out to you today to let you know about an upcoming event we are doing and hoping you will spread the word among your chapter members.

On Saturday, May 18th we will be having a build day, meet up and showcase for our clubs, ModelWorx Raleigh & ModelWorx Charlotte, and the North Carolina Gundam Model Community.

This event will be held at the spacious home office of Holy Mountain Printing in Raleigh. Check out their site listed below to see all they do and especially their new monster shirts! This is a great, open space with plenty of room for tables to display your work and build something new. The space is currently displaying a Kaiju art show and an 8' MechaGodzilla. That alone makes it worth the trip! 

I hope this will be the first of many events we do in conjunction with the Gundam community. This group grew from our first build day a few years back and with Joel, Luke and others at the helm, they have exploded into a strong and very active community of model builders that meet weekly at our host store, Hangar 18 Hobbies.

If you know anyone in your chapter that's interested in these genres or any others, you are welcome to come this event.

If anyone can make it, please let us know so we can get a somewhat accurate head count and know how many tables to set up. Right now we're looking at 8-10 tables, 8' long, but we have room for more if need be. We want to be sure we have plenty of room to work and hang out.

There may also be some hobby shops setting up there with things for sale as well.

There is also an event posted on FaceBook with some more info about activities for this: https://www.facebook.com/events/444016139674590/
