I started off with a discussion about moving the meeting dates to the first Saturday of the month. The feedback we received was that this would work out for everyone. Rockler told us the space is available but I'm waiting to hear from Rich at Rockler that it's a go. Our next meeting will definitely be March 24th. If we get the go from Rockler the meeting after that will be May 5th! Cinco de Mayo!
Sam next led off his final part of the Stewart in Japanese service, followed by her return to the US Navy. It was certainly a memorable voyage bringing her back to San Francisco.
Next Jerry talked about his new kit, Tiger Models CB-90. This is a much anticipated 1/35 kit. The prototype was built by Sweden but it is in service with many different countries. The fit and finish of the hull is remarkable. I'm anxious to see what Jerry does with this model. I can tell he's excited because he's starting to paint it tonight!
Jerry also shared with us the loops he purchased a while back and how useful they are for seeing details in a comfortable position.
Jerry also shared with us a reamer tool that he purchased. Jerry's offered to put in an order for the club. If you're interested let Jerry know quickly! Excellent tool for learning out holes in plastic.
Next John discussed his three subjects! The first was the Grille. This was Hitlers yacht but later converted to wartime use as pictured here. John advised that this was a bear of a kit and very unlike most of Combrig's line of kits. But John managed to bring it to life and did a fine job of it.
Photo etch set and wood deck for this kit.
Next Victor amazed us with his 1/350 Trumpeter Graff Zeplin. It was strange to see German aircraft on this aircraft carrier that never happened.
Good times!
