December Meeting

Just a reminder about our upcoming meeting on Wednesday, December 6 from 7 to 9 PM.

We will be holding our Flea Market during the first half of the meeting. 

During the second half of the meeting, we are pleased to welcome Garfield Ingram as our guest speaker with a presentation entitled ‘A Visit to The First World War Western Front’.

Garfield is a long-time member of IPMS Toronto, specializing in aircraft.  In the last number of years, he has been focusing his attention on the first World War, building a variety of aircraft subjects in 1/48th and 1/32nd scale. He has taken two trips to the western front which include two hot spots- The Somme and Ypres. His Somme tour will take you along on seeing the area from the air, from a pilot’s perspective. He flew the low level route of Von Richthofen’s final flight and photographed the crash site from the air.

The second half of the presentation will be of his trip to one of Canada’s most significant areas, the Ypres salient. He will show shots of many of the significant areas where our Canadian boys fought like Paaschendale Ridge. He will bring along a few models of WW1 aircraft as well and will be happy to discuss techniques like rigging with you.

Our monthly meetings take place the FIRST Wednesday of each month from 7:00pm to 9:00pm.  Doors are open around 6:45pm, so members may arrive early to setup.
