November chapter meeting around the corner

Posted on by

The fall weather is finally starting to hit here in Leavenworth, Kansas, meaning we have more time for model building! The contest season is past, with the last local show being the Ad Astra show in Topeka in early November. That gives us a few months to build before March starts the contest season again.

For those in the Leavenworth area, remember that our December meeting will be a chapter Christmas party at the Gerges’. A flyer is in this month’s newsletter. They’ll provide the drinks, bring a side dish to share, and spouses are highly encouraged to attend. There will be no “Show Wat Ya Brung” but we will do a White Elephant Gift Exchange.

Our Chapter meeting is at the Pilgrim Community Church, 500 Arch Street in Leavenworth on Wednesdays, November 19th at 6:30 p.m. We meet in the basement; come around to the rear (north facing) side of the building to get in.

Until then, here is our November newsletter for you to enjoy!

Quick Summer Update

It is getting hot in Kansas, so it’s a wonderful day to head down to your workbench and get some model building done. Our chapter monthly meeting for July is next week, on Wednesday, July 16 at 6:30 pm. We meet on the lower level of the Pilgrim Christian Church, 500 Arch Street in Leavenworth.

Our yearly Prison City Model Contest and Show is just a few months away on Saturday, October 4. Check out our contest page for the complete list of categories. Special Theme Award this year is “As Seen on the Small Screen.” This can be any figure, vehicle, etc., that was seen on a TV show. Can’t be a film released to theaters and then re-run on TV; must be original to TV. Think of the Twilight Zone episode “The 7th is made up of Phantoms” and the Stuart tank, or any of the many TV series Star Trek vessels. Car modelers have a host of options– scan any 1960s cop show like Adam 12 or Dragnet for ideas. Anima and Mecha modelers should be well represented too!

We still have vendor tables available for our show. The tables are $10 each. Contact the contest chairman with how many you need. You can pay on the day of the show.
