Greetings Ship Club!

Meeting location:
Rockler Woodworking (in the basement)
2553 S. Colorado Blvd., Suite 108
Denver, Colorado  80222
Date:  10/6/2018
Time:  10:00

This meeting is going to be a lot of show and tell.

First up will be Bill Smallshaw.  He will be bringing the following to share with us...

  • The completed USS JFK kit conversion that he shared with us a few months back.  
  • A new project, USS Intrepid conversion from MT Miniatures.  I've never seen one of their kits so looking forward to this one.
  • Blue Ridge Models recently released Comstock kit.  (photo shamelessly borrowed from Freetime Hobbies)
  • Deck mask kit from Cherry Anchor.  I've never heard of this company before and looking forward to hearing more about them and this product.  

Bill is also going to share with us a relatively new 3D resin printed material being produced by Steve Larson (a.k.a. Model_Monkey).  This is much different than the materials we've seen from Shapeways.  They too have it available to designers but Steve is the only one who has embraced the technology, bought his own machine, and is selling direct to modelers.  I think you'll find this very interesting.  The picture below is a 1/350 B Turret for the HMS Hood.  (photo curtosey of Model Monkey) 



Next I will be sharing some new paint racks that I found at IPMS Nationals.  These are not big wall mounted racks but rather small, project oriented racks and other products.  These are being produced by a retired dentist at pretty reasonable prices.  (photo from IPMS Nationals vendor room)



I will also do a follow up on our Vallejo decal setting solution test. 



I'm sure there will be much more brought by you all as always.  I'm looking forward to seeing you all.

As always....
  • Bring any modeling issues you're having.
  • Bring any new kits or tools you've collected.  
  • Bring any finished or in progress work you would like to share
  • Bring yourself!
