Our February meeting was held on Friday, February 22 at the Girl Scouts campus on Upas Street.
We had a number of great models brought in for show n’ tell. Additionally, Jerry Jackson gave a seminar on his weathering techniques.
Reminder – Model Expo is coming up in June. Please consider sponsoring a contest category to help the club. Sponsorships are a mere $25!
