September Meeting
Good day all,
Summer is at an end once again, where did it go? Here’s your friendly reminder about our upcoming meeting on Wednesday, September 4th from 7 to 9 PM.
At our September meeting our member Ming Wong will be presenting his spectacular WW2 Canadian Welding truck project. The project, which has been ongoing for over a year, was inspired by a visit to a local museum, and showcases some remarkable modelling and scratchbuilding skills. I have seen this work in progress up close recently, and you will not want to miss Ming’s presentation.
As always, we will also hold our “On the Tables” segment, so please bring your latest projects for all to view and enjoy.
Here’s a preview of content for the rest of the year:
- October 2nd, Jason Liang, “Titan Missile Museum in Tucson, AZ”
- November 6th, Alfred Wong, “Scratchbuilding the Avro Vulcan”
