January 2015 Meeting: WWI Night

Posted on by

IMG_0896NJIPMS kicked off the new year with WWI night. There were plenty of models on the table, mostly aircraft, but few figures and pieces of armor did make an appearance as well. Maybe we can get some ships for next year?

Jon, the contest coordinator, mentioned that most of the meetings this year are open for sponsorship. As of now July is tentatively “North Africa” night, and November will be “Number 13”. North Africa is fairly self explanatory, Number 13 has to do with, obviously, the number thirteen. If it has that number on it (race car, building address, hull number, fuselage code) or it participated in the Battle of Friday the 13th at Guadalcanal in 1942, then it qualifies.

December 2014 Meeting

Posted on by

The December meeting saw the yearly Christmas and Holiday party party, as well as the end of the year awards. Member of the Year went to Mike Pavlo, a well earned acknowledgement considering all he does for the club.

Next month brings January and a new year, as well as WWI Night. Get your Great War builds ready and see you then.

Model photos below, and some great shots of club members, thanks to Michael Dobrzelecki.

Sci-Fi Night!

Posted on by

IMG_0801The November 2014 meeting was all about Sci-Fi. This is the third year in a row that we’ve had an either all science fiction themed night, or a movies and television theme, and the turnout has been amazing at all three. Obviously we all want a break from the military every now and then to do something a little different and with a little color.

Lots of entries on the table, and after dividing them all up into either the Vehicles class or the Figures class, the top two entries were a Brittania II and a Predator bust. Outstanding work by all the participants (judging the winners was NOT easy).

December 12th we’ll be at the same place, the same time, for the Christmas party. Dinner will be served at 7:30. See you all there.

Modelfest in Runnemede CANCELLED

Posted on by

The Modelfest show that was scheduled in Runnemede, NJ, this coming weekend, October 18th, has been CANCELLED. Evidently there has been an issue with renovations at the host hotel that have gone over schedule and facilities will not be available.

Thanks to Mike P. for the information.
