Here’s your reminder that our next meeting will be held on Wednesday, July 8th from 7 to 9 PM.  Doors open around 6:45 PM, we recommend you arrive early to facilitate starting on time.  

Our July meeting features a special presentation by club member Jason Liang, who attended the renowned Shizuoka Hobby Show in Japan this past May. Jason will share his first hand impressions, photographs, and highlights from one of the world’s premier scale modelling events, offering a unique look at the latest kits, aftermarket products, tools, and emerging trends from many of the hobby’s leading manufacturers.  Held annually in Shizuoka—the heart of Japan’s plastic model industry—the Shizuoka Hobby Show brings together companies such as Tamiya, Hasegawa, Aoshima, Fujimi, and many others to unveil new releases and showcase upcoming products. The event attracts thousands of hobbyists, retailers, and members of the international modelling press, making it one of the most influential exhibitions on the modelling calendar. Whether you’re interested in aircraft, armour, ships, automobiles, figures, or modelling techniques, Jason’s presentation promises an insider’s view of this remarkable event and the innovations shaping our hobby.

As always, the :On the Tables” show-and-tell will follow the presentation.
