With no set contest, the February meeting was a free-swim of whatever showed up. Lots of cool armor and figure dioramas, autos, aircraft, etc. Several in-progress builds were displayed, including Martin’s nearly-finished 1/350th scale USS North Carolina.

Meeting business was kept brief and to the point on all things MosquitoCon. Vendor tables are nearly sold out, awards are ready to go, and the location has been scouted.

March’s theme is Heavy Metal, so bring your tanks, battleships, heavy bombers and robots. Nearly everyone has their kits for the Tin Can Group Build. They’re due in September. Get those hulls in the water!

The February meeting will be one week earlier. We are meeting on Friday, February 7th, at the usual time and place.

The first meeting of the new year on Friday, January the 11th, saw a surprisingly large turnout. Due to the weather — especially the heavy fog — it was unexpected yet gratifying to see so many of the members turn up.  We possibly had better attendance than last month, when there was free food!

There was no formalized contest, as Minister of Contests, Jon Da Silva was unable to attend, but there were a lot of builds, both finished, in progress, and brand new out of the box, on display for everyone to look over.

Check back here and in the newsletter for information on the February meeting. The usual meeting night falls on Valentines Day, so we may be moving it a week earlier or later.

The December meeting saw the annual party, lots of food, and awards given out.  Award recipients and the like will be covered in the next newsletter.  Until then, here are the photos (and thank you to Martin Quinn for additional photo coverage this month):
