171: October 2017 Show and Tell

170: September 2017 Meeting Minutes

We had 16 members with 17 models attend.

We discussed a group build of the Burma Banshees; late model P-40s (N-1 and N-5) in 1/72nd scale.  Dave graciously offered up decals for the known nose art aircraft and these were distributed to members who wanted to build one for a display next year.  Once shown at the display tables we take our models home and proudly display them on our shelves.

We also discussed a group build of King Kong '33 diorama.  Essentially 4 of us will convert the Revell 1/72nd scale PT-17 to look similar to the aircraft used in the film.  John agreed to scratch King Kong and the top of the Empire State building.  Another display for the show tables and then take them home.

169: Meeting Minutes

While we had a light showing for members at only 14, they brought quite a few kits -- 33.

Only business was a short discussion on Scale ModelWorld 2018.  For anyone who doesn't know, IPMS-UK holds their nationals every year over Remembrance Weekend -- what we call Veterans Day in November and always at Telford, Shropshire TF3 4JH.  A couple of us are planning trips for 2018 to England, and decided to time them with Telford on November 10-11, 2018.

Bene Suggs will send out a kit list he received from someone getting rid of kits.  Once I get that I'll forward to everyone.
