Hi all,
It's time for our ship club meeting this Saturday.

Location:  Rockler Woodworking
Address:  2553 S. Colorado Blvd., Suite 108, Denver, CO  80222
Time:  November 26th (this Saturday) 10:00

This meeting I have a few things for you.....

First we'll follow up on the latest shirt order.

Next I ordered and received an AMMO by MIG Oilbrusher to test out.  You'll remember that these are pre thinned oil paints for weathering models.  I'm bringing my U-Boat crash test dummy to test it out on.  I've played with it a little but the idea is for you to play with it as well.  Here's a quick video about the product.

A tube of oil paint will run you about $7.00 and will last longer than us.  An Oilbrusher probably won't last as long as a tube of oil paint and it costs $4.85 online from MegaHobby.  

Next you may remember David Shields visited us and had a challenge with photo etch foot rails.  While working on my project, 1/350 IJN Amagiri, I found myself with the same challenge.  First I ordered some 1/350 hand rails.  It is after all 1/350 scale.  I'm going to show you what that looks like compared to what 1/700 hand rails look like on the same piece.  I found most of the after market parts are sized about the same.  

Getting these to secure to our models is challenging.  But I did find a product from Flyhawk Models called Easy Glue.  Which features a great design for attaching these fiddly pieces.  The rails have a base designed into them which increases the area being glued by a factor of at least 3.  Check out the little feet on these hand rails!  You can see that, right?  Yea, I need my high powered visor for these bad boys!

As always bring any challenges you have, any completed or in progress models you would like to share, and any new items you've found.  

See you Saturday!

Dave
