Photo-etched parts are the bane of many modellers because they combine extreme thinness with zero forgiveness. They’re springy, razor-sharp, and smaller than the tools meant to handle them—so they ping off into the void, deform if you look at them wrong, and demand perfect bends on the first try. They won’t respond to normal cement, require cyanoacrylate or solder, and highlight every handling mistake once painted. The result is exquisite scale fidelity at the cost of patience, eyesight, and occasionally one’s sanity.  

Fortunately for us, our distinguished guest Darren White of Peel Scale Modellers will be conducting a workshop on working with Photo Etched (PE) parts and accessories.  As a talented and highly accomplished scale modeller who specializes in ships, Darren is an expert in working with PE – he promises to make your experience with PE parts a little less painful! 

February Draw!  

We will be doing a draw for a beautiful model donated to the club by Steve Fall.  To be eligible you must show your membership card, so please don’t forget to bring it and wear it with pride!

Our guest will be John Colasante, an accomplished modeller and the founder and owner of Matters of Scale (www.mattersofscale.com).  3D Modeling and 3D Printing has been one of John’s passions for over a decade. He started out modeling in Rhino but switched to Fusion 360 in the earliest days when it first came on the scene. As an avid scale modeler, he enjoys making 3D parts for his own builds, and has now decided to make them available for others to enjoy.

John is based in New York and will present to us virtually.  He has previously been a presenter at the IPMS National Convention in the US, and is a pleasure to have him as our guest at the November meeting.
