Last Month's Meeting Highlights Joe Marranca gave a very helpful demonstration of how he masks canopies on his aircraft models. Thanks to Joe for helping out at the last minute.
This Month's Meeting Lee Kolosna will conduct a workshop on IPMS judging, including a hands-on exercise.
RDUCON 2011 Less that one month away. All hands on deck!
Build Outside the Norm Our club is conducting a group build of subjects that we don't normally do. For example, if you're primarily an armor modeler, you would select a car or a ship, or any subject from a category that you don't normally build. The idea is to stretch your skills a bit and perhaps gain an appreciation for a different genre. Any subject is allowed, and all members are welcome to participate. Completed models will be presented for inspection at the September 18 meeting.
