We had a great meeting on September 30. Lots of folks brought in models to show and discuss.
Rich Durham proposed a group build – F-16s, any scale. This build should take about 5 months. Anyone interested should begin work on the cockpit and bring in their model with work in progress to the next meeting.
Joshua Phillippi and Jerry Jackson brought in their award-winning models. Joshua won an award for his 1/35 Sd.Kfz 222 at the Brewer Brothers show on September 18 on board the USS Iowa. Jerry won a first in category for his 1/700 IJN Battleship-Carrier hybrid Ise at IPMS Nationals 2016 in Columbia, SC.
Apologies to David Weeks, Gary Harris and Manny Gutsche – pictures of your models were missed. If you would like to send in your own picture of one of these models, please send it to webmaster@ipmssd.org and it will be added to this page.
Our next meeting will be Friday, October 28. We will have our bi-annual contest and also officer nominations for 2017.
