October 2026 Ship Club Meeting
Follow to this LINK to a recording of the October meeting on Zoom.
We're transitioning to Google Slides so the meeting presentation was a little wonky. I will be working on a better way to get people into the meeting as once I started I was unable to see anyone trying to get in. In the future I will be able to embed the presentation into these recaps. In the meantime here are slides from the meeting.
We started with some rare club business. Thanks to Tim for picking up on of Victor's kits and throwing in some extra money which will just about pay for another year of Zoom meetings for the club
We then looked at a new vendor we haven't covered before. Reports were that they could be kind of expensive.
While looking at this web site I came across these which were 3D color printed figures. They have dimension but are pretty flat like little gingerbread men.
We then transitioned into builds our members are working on...
I shared this little adventure which started with a $1 kit given to me by Roger Schafer. By the time I added parts, paint, and case, it became a $50 project.
Introduction to an amazing and dedicated builder, Marijn Van Gills from Belgium. We all remember this build...
His current project which is estimated to take 9-10 years to accomplish. The battle of Trafalger.
Other builds we saw on the interwebs...
Excellent presentation and water base
Another excellent diorama from Kostas Katseas
New kits coming to market that we've seen in the last month...
Remember that Bases by Bill produce some very reasonably priced wood bases for model ships. They do all the laser engraving, finishing, and adding the art work.
A designer I'm working with has been working on has produced this 1/72 Type IX U-Boat.
He also did this WWI German Mine Layer
Available soon (maybe) from Starling Models
