October 2014 Meeting

    Hello and happy Autumn to you!

    Actually, as I write this, it's snowing like crazy outside. If you're anything like me, wintry weather puts you in the mood to build kits with winter camouflage schemes, or skis, or something that fought in a winter campaign. Recently I picked up Revell's GMC Pickup kit with the snowplow. I also have a ski-plane and a few pieces of armor I could whitewash. My bench might get busy!
 
   For our October meeting, the High Plains Modelers converged on The Ranch, our usual haunt to discuss any and all modeling related things. In a debrief on our annual show, everything seemed to have went well with only a few hitches. We had some great vendors and a lot of models to ogle for the day. If you attended, vended, or got commended, we thank you again for helping us make it a great show. Also a big thanks is in order to those sponsors who helped us send folks home with a nice award for their trouble. We couldn't do it without you!

    You can find galleries to everything seen in our show here.

    Here's a gallery of the latest models to hit the 'Done Shelf' by HPM members. Check it out:
