Greetings everyone, It's time again for another meeting.

Location:  Rockler Woodworking
Address:  2553 S. Colorado Blvd., Suite 108, Denver, Colorado  80222
Time:  10:00

Five of us made it to IPMS 2016 in Columbia, South Carolina.  We're going to share with you some of our experiences and discuss some excellent ship building that we saw during our visit.  You may have seen the video I posted.  Hugh, Jerry, Roger also took some excellent photographs.

If you would like to see all the winners from IPMS 2016 here is a link.  You'll find ships at the back of the presentation starting on page 19.

I'm going to bring a couple of kits I came across at the show.  First is the Blue Ridge Models USS Bainbridge in 1/350 scale.  The second is the all new Revell Germany 1/144 Flower Class Corvette.




I believe that Hugh bought the Blue Ridge Models USS Normandie which is involved in a little controversy.



No promises I'm hoping to bring a ship sample so that we can try out some of these water color pencils.  Maybe even a deck section.  If I don't get it prepared by meeting time we'll have it next meeting for sure.

New release from AK Interactive is the US Navy Camouflages set 2 acrylic paint and is available at Freetime Hobbies.  The set contains the following colors

Dark Gray 5D
Pale Gray 5P
Standard Navy Gray 5
Flight Deck Blue 21
Neutral Haze Gray
Hull Red



Look forward to seeing you Saturday.
Dave
