August 2014 Meeting
Ahh..hello there. Come 'round once again, have you, a second time, for a bit of the old one-two, hey? A wee tipple of the old styrene bashing business? A small portion of sharp blades and sharper wit? Right then! You've come to the right place, mate.
The usual bandits assembled once again just this side of the border to divvy up the loot and tell tall tales about how their grandmothers used rattlesnakes to weave baskets or something like that. We had around 18 members gather to talk shop and show off models. We also had a small swap meet where club members brought in unwanted kits to sell off or trade. You know how it goes when a pile of models with price tags on 'em shows up.
38 days 'til High Plains Con XXV!!!
