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.

The 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.
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.
The newsletters for July and September have been added to the Newsletter page.
September 12th was the designated Destroyer Night Group Build deadline, however since only two builds were completed fully, the judging has been put off until February of 2015. Five more months! Get ’em off the ways!
The NJHMA show is Sunday September 7th this year. NJHMA always supports MosquitoCon, and they’re local, so please attend and support them if possible.

Several NJIPMS members made it to the JerseyFestFair figure and sci-fi show last year and had a blast. It’s back again this year, the weekend before the Nationals. Link added to the Upcoming Events page.
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.
Check out the tale of Mike Terre’s battle with the 1/48th scale Jupiter “C” rocket, a reissue of an old kit by Glencoe, and have a chuckle or two reading. Added to the Reviews section HERE.
