Hi all; I hope I speak for everyone in saying the February meeting was outstanding.  Applause to Randy and Marcin for giving a fantastic primer on diorama bases.  I learned a great deal about a skill set I don’t much have.  From the energetic sidebar discussions, Randy and Marcin certainly engaged all of us.  We have some very talented folks in our club.

Welcome to our two new members; it’s great to see the club continue to grow.  But really, do we need another truck modeler?  Just kidding, I know how sensitive you truck fellows are.

As mentioned, several of our meetings this year fall on the same day as an IPMS show in the region.  In particular, these dates conflict with our meeting dates:

13 April  The NOVA show

10 August  Virginia Shootout (Salem VA)

14 September  PENNCON

So, what  would you all like to do?  We can move our meeting forward or back 1 week around these dates; cancel the meeting that month for those months; or have the meeting take place as scheduled with those not attending the respective show holding the meeting as scheduled.  Please respond to the poll link below so I can see how you all lean and we’ll go with that! 

As a reminder here are the next few meeting topics:

For March, I will do skin tones

For April, let’s do effective decal placement/setting.  (Depending on the results of the poll above)

For May, how to effectively paint cars with that special kind of gloss/shine car paints have by Ross

For June, range day! bang bang!.

For July, fiber optic how-tos by Todd

For August,  industry and update Mark (depending on results of poll above) and a primer on the use of pigments by Marcin

Finally, let me know if you would like one of our grey club polo shirts.  Need 5 more shirt orders to submit the order and I’lll get that off quick.
