Thanks to everyone who attended the last meeting and thanks to Jerry for sharing photos and minutes.  I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving.

Here's what Jerry shared with me...

Martin Sagara shared another use for a soap bar holder.  Martin uses this to hold his brushes while he's painting.  Nice use of something never intended for modeling! Nice way to keep your brushes organized, especially if you're painting with a couple of different brushes and colors at the same time.

Next John brought a nice display stand from Bandai that he picked up from I'm guessing either Hobby Search or Hobby Link Japan.  Another great idea John!

John also brought a cool color wheel reference.  These are made by Jadar Model in Poland.  They produce them with various manufacturers as the base color.  But they also reference FS numbers as well as colors from Humbrol, Tamiya, Gunze, Model Master, Vallejo/Vallejo Model Air, Pactra, Revell, and Agama.  I didn't even know that Pactra was still around!  Handy little reference chart.  You can buy these from various online stores and direct from Jadar Model in Poland.

Jerry advised that everyone chimed in on what they are working on now.  That's something that we might want to keep doing every month.  Great way to spur conversation about challenges and solutions to challenges.  

Jerry also advised that some are having issues with their airbrushes?  Perhaps we can organize something where we can get together and work through some of your airbrush problems.  Perhaps a special guest star or videos we could watch?

Hugh shared with me the latest release of Small Model Warship's Escort magazine.  Over to the right under Favorite Ship Modeling Sites you'll see the link to Small Warship Special Interest Group.  Go there and click on the Current issue.  You can also browse through their archives which is nice.

I look forward to seeing you all in December.
