The first meeting of 2016 is in the books. Due to a delay in the Phantom group build completion, and likely post-holiday recovery, there was a light turnout on the contest table. Several Phantoms in progress did make a showing, however. John finished up his tree making tutorial, and many things MosquitoCon were discussed.
Next month’s meeting is on Friday the 12th of February. Have those Phantoms completed, and Big Bill will be giving a tutorial on quick and dirty LED lighting for models.

The New Jersey IPMS 2015 year came to a close on December 12th, with the annual party. Good food and good company were in abundance, as well as a great selection of the first-place winners from this year’s modeling contests.
We start of January with the F-4 Phantom group build completion, so if you took a kit please do all you can to make sure it’s finished by January’s meeting, and if not, bring along what you do have done.
Also for the January meeting, the tree building demonstration will continue. If you haven’t taken part yet, please feel free to join in, as the process will be described from the start, so everyone can catch-up.
The newsletter for December 2015 has been added to the Newsletter page. You can download it directly from there.
Other website updates are ongoing, not the least of which being the addition of information for all things MosquitoCon 25. Check back often for the flyer, dates and times, etc.
A little tardy in getting the photos uploaded from last month’s meeting, but here they are. We had a fantastic turnout for #13 Night. The rules were that the subject had to encompass the number 13 in some way, and you guys got really creative: we had aircraft from VF-13, a Zero that’s serial number added up to 13, a 2013 car, and a diorama with a house address of 13 on the tiny mailbox door.
Photos are below. December’s meeting is on the 11th, and we’ll be celebrating the holiday season with our annual party. See everyone there.

As someone once said, “There’s always a big turnout when there’s free food,” the September 11th, 2015 meeting of NJIPMS did indeed have a big turnout, and a couple of 6′ subs (of the food variety, not the nuke type) along with sides and an open bar.
The kit contest was Out of the Box, and Jon Da Silva will have the results of that in the next newsletter.
October is Russian Night, so finish your red-starred builds and get them on the table.
