Next Meeting

   Sunday, February 21, 2010, 1:30 PM
   Classroom 126A, Engineering Tech Building, Wake Technical Community College


Last Month's Meeting Highlights

   Ryan Kochatzky and Woody Griffin conducting a modeling demonstration on how to make realistic bases for models.  Lots of good information was conveyed and a decent base can make a model really stand out.

Tuskegee Airmen P-51 Mustang Project

   Our friend Hawk Hunter has requested a 1/32 scale P-51B Mustang to be built and proudly displayed by the local Tuskegee Airmen chapter.  Ronnie Murray is organizing a group build of the old Revell kit.  We are coming down to the wire, as the model is going to be presented to Hawk in early March.  Please bring all the subassemblies to the meeting this weekend so we can assess what remains to be done.


This Month's Meeting

   We will have a demonstration on painting figures.


Dues aren't due!

   Owing to the financial health of the club, member dues will be waived in 2010.
