Some things to share...

Scale Model World in Telford England just completed.  Every now and then you come across a real gem.  Ship modelers have been aware of Jim Baumann's work for many years.  He is one of the most prolific 1/700 scale builders I've ever seen and I've always admired his work.  This year Jim entered what may be his best work.

Now put it into perspective...

Fortunately Jim likes to share his work and what he learned in his builds and this is no exception.  Here's a link to Jim's build on Modelwarships.com.  If you read through this you'll find some really great tips and techniques that translate to any other modeling you might do.

Here's a link to Jim's model gallery...

For those of you waiting on glue, drill bits, and stencils it will be on hand.

Calling all Commercial Ship Modelers!!

A few years back IPMS initiated a commercial ship category for the National competition.  This category has struggled.  If they don't get a better showing it's likely that this category will vanish.  If you want to see this category continue think about building something for the next show in Phoenix.  There are lots of opportunities.  Cargo ships, tankers, cruise ships, tug boats, etc.  Any working ship in a non military role fits the bill.  And if you're a trophy hunter this is easy pickings.  You don't have to be at the show to enter.  One of us going can enter it for you.

As always....
Bring anything new you've acquired
Bring any finished or models in progress you would like to share
If you have any challenges that we can work together to solve bring those questions as well.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!
