June 2013 Meeting

     The High Plains Modelers' June meeting featured spectacular attendance once again as the room packed in 17 modelers for an evening of styrene shenanigans. After an hour of covering business such as the missile silo tour debrief, a progress report on Nationals by guest Mark Persichetti, an update on the creation of a new website management team, and a few other items, we got down to the important business of showing off this month's builds. Check out the pics:

     After the Show & Tell, Pablo gave us a few tips on what not to do while applying natural metal finishes. This actually turned out to be a very informative session discussing the use of both Alclad and Testors Metallizer products.
     Stay tuned for more action packed perfection in plastic when the High Plains Modelers convene next month in July. Note: Due to a scheduling conflict, the July meeting will be held at HobbyTown USA in Fort Collins at 6pm on the usual Tuesday.

Pablo discusses the finer points of natural metal finishes. Chip looks dubious.
