December Meeting

We held our December 2013 meeting at Hobbytown USA, Kennesaw, at 1 P.M. on December 14. Fourteen members were in attendance.

HTUSA's Kevin Westphal updated us on some new kit news.

We had some great modeling on display.

Dave Lockhart's British MTB (Airfix 1/72), of which the actual deck plan never existed.

Mike Idacavage showed us a work-in-progress MD-80 to be done in Scandinavian livery (Minicraft 1/144)

Rob Hofels had another work-in-progress, but for most of us we'd consider it done! His Corvette conversion to a small-block powered ride is stunning in it's details and finish. (Revell 1/25)

Mike Wolfe had a couple of variations of the Dauntless dive bomber. Both were simple conversions but they are ones you never see on contest tables, a pre-war Marine and a veteran of Pearl Harbor that flew from the U.S.S. Enterprise (Hasegawa 1/72)

John Vallrugo showed his interior scratchbuilding of the Fairey Firefly FR.1. He mainly uses balsa to bring a spartan interior to a realistic look. (Frog 1/72)

Rob Morales finished a WW2 panzer officer in a late-war reversible winter uniform indicating the direction toward the enemy (or maybe not...) (Alpine Miniatures 1/35)

Rob Holfels' Vette is our Model of the Month.

Mike Idacavage won a gift certificate to HTUSA.

Our next meeting will be on January 18, 2014. We are meeting on the THIRD Saturday in January to avoid a conflict with the Chattanooga IPMS Show on January 10 and 11.
