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.

This has grown into quite a large and well-attended sci-fi and figure themed show. If you have any interest in those genres, you owe it to yourself to give it a visit.
From NJIPMS member Jimmy Lincoln:
“I saw an ad in The Star Ledger today about some of The Collings Foundation’s aircraft coming to our state August 26-September 10. The planes are a B-17, B-24, B-25 and a P-51. All will be open for walk-through tours and flights. Tours are $12, and flights $450. (Flights need to be reserved ahead of time.) The airports where they’ll be are in Monmouth, Trenton, Millville, Cape May and Morristown- a wide coverage to maximize those interested in going to see these planes”

The newsletter for August 2015 has been uploaded to the Newsletter page. I went light on the photos this month, as all of my Nationals photos have been added to the photo gallery site, per my recent post.
Also, the website for the IPMS Nationals 2016, in Columbia, SC, is live. A link has been added to the Upcoming Events page.
Photos from last week’s IPMS Nationals in Columbus, OH, have been uploaded to the photo gallery site HERE, and a link added to the website on the Photos page.
The above photo is what turned out to be only a portion of the NJIPMS crowd that made the trip to the NATS dinner, at Schmidt’s German restaurant in Columbus. Great food, and even better beer.
UPDATE: For further coverage of the Nationals, check out the Silicone Valley IPMS website, with more photos, and the slides from the awards ceremony:
