March 2013 Meeting

We had a really fun meeting last night. There were several excellent meetings and we had not one, but two clinics. 

Tom hosted a very informative (and a bit messy!) clinic on how to paint and weather tank tracks. His trick: Paint them Humbrol 66 and then use water soluble oils for a wash.








We also had our fearless secretary "Nuge" to give us a short and instructive clinic on how to fix blemishes on canopies. Sadly we have no pictures of it.

Below are pictures of the models brought for the "Show and Tell".

Scott's model (next one will be motorized!)

Chip's model (Can you believe is his third?)

This month, Randy won the monthly contest and we have a three-way tie for the "Modeler of the Year" contest at this point!
