September Meeting: Decal Swap

Posted on by

A reminder that the September meeting will be held on Sept. 9, the second Monday of the month due to the Labour day holiday.

At the meeting we’ll be having a “Decal Swap” and a review by Gates on the U.S. Nationals that took place this year in Chatanooga Tennessee.
For the Decal Swap, please bring in any sets (or partial sets I assume) that you are not using or that are no longer of interest to you – you may find someone who has some decals for certain projects that you’ve got planned or are working on!!  Please keep in mind that this is a “swap” and not a “flea market” – the idea here is to provide others with decals you may not be needing or wanting to use and, hopefully, find some that you can use yourself. All scales, all subjects!
Look forward to seeing you all there.

A reminder to members that John Maher will be running his presentation at tonight’s May meeting due to some logistical issues which prevented us from doing it in April.

“In his last presentation, IPMS Toronto member John Maher talked about applying armour techniques to aircraft.  If you missed it, you can refresh your memory with another look at his seminar here.

In this upcoming session, John will talk about applying aircraft techniques to armour.  He will present how he used aircraft building techniques to assemble the stowage on this Korean War Pershing.  He’ll also review the painting and weathering techniques employed to create the finish on this model.”

The article and pictures were composed and taken by Darek Sommerfeld.

“During April 11/12 of 2015 I took part in a sixth modeling contest in Olsztyn. The contest was organized in the Youth Palace of Olsztyn. During the modeling contest there were many different categories of models ranging from over 400 cardboard to plastic creations. Thanks to my friend Robert, I was able to familiarize myself with the work of cardboard modelers and meet a few of them during the competition. Many of the models appeared very realistic and it was hard to believe that they were made from cardboard. In terms of plastic models, the majority of the models was composed of armored vehicles but there was a likewise large selection of planes, ships, civillian vehicles and standalone figures.
