Last Month's Meeting

   We had our annual holiday meeting, highlighted by dozens of beautiful models – the most we have ever seen at the year-end meeting.  The gift exchange saw numerous and hilarious swaps of a Roden 1/48 scale Mohawk kit.  We had excellent food from Smithfield Chicken and Barbecue.  The best treat of all: Clyde Mills came back after his serious illness earlier this year to grace us with his presence, looking fit and firm and ornery as ever.  Welcome back, Clyde!


Haywood Griffin Most Improved Modeler Award

   Congratulations to David Shaw, who was given this prestigious award by his peers in recognition of the tremendous strides he has taken as a modeler since joining the club.


This Month's Meeting

     Lee Kolosna will be conducting a demonstration on how to photograph models.
