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.

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.

August Meeting CANCELLED!

Due to the second Friday regular meeting date conflicting with the Nationals in Hampton, VA, we will NOT BE MEETING during August. For those coming to the convention, we’ll see you there. For everyone else, we’re on track for a regular meeting on September 12th, at the Knights of Columbus in Garwood.

New Photo Hosting Added

Posted on by

We’ve been going through the process of setting up a new photo hosting location for the club. When the old website went down and we set up the new one, we really had no idea how many hundreds, even thousands, of photos had accumulated over the years. While this website runs on WordPress and does beautifully handling that job, adding that many photos to the main database could possibly cause issues down the line, and would make data backups massive and ungainly.

We’re using ZenFolio for the large photo features, especially the MosquitoCon and other photo-intense features that we will have on the site. As of now, this and last year’s MosquitoCon photos are uploaded. As we finish tweaking the appearance of the site and adding new content, we will post here to let you know.

The main NJIPMS page at ZenFolio can be found here:

June 2014 Meeting

Posted on by

It was all about Mustangs at this Friday’s meeting; cars, planes, anything with the name. Marc Rocca took away top honors with his 1/48th scale P-51 in Chinese markings.

Other items discussed included next Sunday’s outing at Famous Dave’s BBQ, the upcoming Nationals, and the future of NJIPMS continuing to meet at the Knights of Columbus. Next month’s meeting will still be at the Knights, but keep an eye on the website and the next newsletter for any changes to this.

And now some photos…
