IPMS Cincinnati show

Was able to attend the IPMS Cincinnati show on Saturday.  Good show. 400+ models.  I will try to post some pictures later on.

Model Paint Solutions

Attended a seminar by these guys at the 2018 IPMS/USA Nationals in Phoenix.  It was very good.  I am not a fan of acrylics, but am willing to give their Mission Models Paints a try.

Back from the Nats

Back from the IPMS/USA Nats in Phoenix.  I hope to get some posts up about the experience in the next few days.  I’ll return to normal posting now.

MMCL monthly meeting tonight

7pm.  Be there!

A funny thing happened on the way to Dayton

Was headed to the Dayton contest on Saturday, when I got clocked just over the Ohio river bridge.  Got my bell rung and lost my last year’s production of kits, but it could have been much, much worse.

Magazine review: RT Volume 40 #1

In past reviews I’ve said just about all I can say about RT.  It is, IMHO, the best non-commercial modeling magazine out there, and in fact is one of the best magazines period.  It is the only modeling magazine that I read all of the articles regardless of subject or scale.

This issue is no different.  In addition to an excellent article on building the 72^nd scale Airfix Spitfire PR.XIX, there is an article on building and improving the Italeri Italian manned torpedo from WWII.  There is also build article on a 1/144^th 727 airliner.  Finally there are two articles on the RG-31 Nyala, MRAP/ wheeled APC.  The first is a history of the vehicle, with a focus on its use by the Canadian armed forces, while the second is a construction article using the Kenetic kit as the starting point.  Both are excellent reads, even for a non-armor guy like myself.

Highly recommended.

MMCL meeting night

This was MMCL’s quarterly Friday Night Fight meeting.  Many members attended with a lot of building going on.

February MMCL meeting

My local IPMS chapter, MMCL held its February meeting last Thursday.  Sorry about taking so long to get this it.  The meeting was great.  If you have an IPMS chapter near you, I urge you to attend and join.  Also, join IPMS/USA.  This meeting we had a guest speaker who works for the Department of the Army, identifying and recovering remains of MIA soldiers.  It was an amazing talk.

 

Also, we had some great models brought in by the members.  Here are a few shots.
