| There was a nice
turnout of models and modelers as everyone recovered from the
holidays. The first meeting of the new year featured a "Russian Night"
contest,
sponsored by Simon V. Congratulations to Marc Rocca and Mike O'Connor,
who's models were the winners in their respective categories. Lots
of themed contests coming up this year. In fact, February is the
only month in "twenty-ten" without a theme!
The club sponsored theme will be "Monogram Raised
Panel Night". The premise is that the club, thanks to Ridgefield Hobbies, is going to get old
Monogram kits with panel lines for a group build. The goal is to get
a bunch of us to build some oldies and to have a good time doing so. The only caveat is
that model must be finished by the August 2010 meeting. See Big Bill if
you are interested in participating - should be lots of fun.
MosquitoCon will be here in about two months, and
there is still lots to do. As this will be out 19th show we
are putting on, this years show will be known as MosquitoCon 19.
Which means next year will be out 20th show. You can be sure
we'll commemorate it properly.
Condolences to member and former President Tom
Vandermark, who lost his Mom recently. On behalf of the club, our
deepest sympathies go out to Tom and his family. |
