Breakfast was all we could have wished for! It was a very fine day for a car-ride and by now, I hope lil Doug has recovered from the razzing Frank and I gave him! :yipee: There's a rumor that this show may move to a more metropolitan venue. I do not traffic in rumors. I have my reputation...

https://meet.google.com/pkd-exsi-mug The first Saturday of October. 4 October 2025 0800 CST US-time. What I wonder about is, I pay the $$ for this, but I don't know if, having posted the linkie and scheduled the meeting, if I have to mediate or if you guys can still use it if something comes...

Tips for the hosting clubs: I think it is off-putting to charge $3.00 each for entries over 3. Bump the regular entry fee to $12.00 and charge a buck a piece for extra entries. The $$ work out about the same, but entrants feel better about paying one dollar more per entry. The best way a...

Angelique Vermilyea, Winston's daughter, was diligently painting away on a Fire Giant figure. I am informed the proper pronoun for a Fire Giant is "They". You can see by the scale of the other figure, a Fire Giant truly is giant! She also built the sinking of the Wasa Dutch sailing ship. I...

This is dear to me. A school bus and a funny car! Lookie! Mark Johnson entered his vaunted and storied excellent '55 Cameo pick-up kit. Mark's 240Z build is here today as well. The Eastern Iowa Model Contest and Vendor Show have lots of "Shinies". Frank's HO scale...

0714 Saturday Boattail 712 departs into the rising sun for points East........... 6 of 7 models will be entered. Breakfast in Ottumwa, IA at the Riverside Family Restaurant. Service was brisk, portions were generous , drink service was speedy and our booth was comfy! 5-stars on Google...

This was kinda quick-draw.

There was a 1/35 Panzer IV in one of the last IPMS Journals I received with rust-encrusted tracks, as if it had been parked in sea water for YEARS. It looked just like hammered dogshit. The modeler also added a basket of fruit and bread that looked fairly fresh. Would the bread and fruit not...

Too right! Nod's as good as wink to a blind bat. https://meet.google.com/gkk-ehuf-suc Tomorrow morning 0800 Central Standard time US. Howzatt?

You don't see a blue Ice Dragon everyday! This is a gaming piece then? That layering/texture is what I find off putting about some 3d prints. It takes a lot of extra work to smooth all that down.

Bonzer mate!

No really clear theme or theme award. $10.00 for 3 entries seems reasonable, but $3.00 for each additional entry seems a might spendy for a long-distance, local show. "Table form" PDF's can be printed. but not populated online. The Entry (Category) form is an unusable windows DOCX that tries...

So, the IPMS Blackhawk Model Building Society are in cahoots with IPMS Riverside Scale Modelers, of Coralville, IA and Major’s Rivers Edge Modelers of Davenport, IA, to present the Eastern Iowa Model Contest and Vendor Show tomorrow. Details about contest themes and printable entry forms are...

This is truly dazzling work!

In our own small way, my Sweetie and I and 2 other men do what we can, as Sea N' Sky, to purchase, build and present "Honor Models" for American servicemembers and veterans, as these occasions arise. This morning over breakfast, an opportunity to honor another of our local veterans presented...
