Sad News :- Tommy Atkins

2012-02-04T17:22:00.001Z

Dear All,

I am sorry to inform you that Tommy Atkins has sadly passed away on Thursday after a suffering a stroke. Tommy a long time member, will be remembered for his quick, highly knowledgeable mind, mixed in with a supreme craftsmans skill that saw him make his own range of vac-form kits, metal kits, and countless masters for both military and armour models. He was himself a true master of his art, and will be deeply missed by all who had the privilage of knowing him.

Tommy's funeral will be held at Octon Crematorium on Wednesday 8th February at 3.00pm.

Our thoughts and condolances go to Tommy's family at this very sad time

Hi All,

Well we have got back from a great weekend at Telford. Thanks go to John and Janice, Mike, Adrian, Roger and Bill for their excellent company, and for making such an impressive eye-catching display with their kits. Martin also made an appearance, buying as many ships as he could for his miniature navy!

A great show, I understand attendance was up 6% on last year, so things are looking up in the modelling world! I took some photo's of our stand and some other items that caught my eye. Hope you enjoy them, I will add more as I get them from others in attendance.

A trip down memory lane for me, built quite a lot of the 1/12 figures in my youth.

Hi All,

Just thought I would share some pictures taken of the proposed venue(s) at Driffield Showground that I took on our visit to the site earlier today.

I would like to thank Mr. David Tite, for his time in showing us around, explaining what would or could be available to us, tables, chairs, parking, refreshments, etc and exploring with us possible idea's for a possible show next year.

I would also like to thank Geoff for organising the visit, and to Adrian, Bill, Martin and Peter for giving up their time to see the venue(s).

It was a very positive meeting, and we are already starting to explore possibilities.

Thanks to all concerned.

Kevin

2011-09-09T12:48:00.001+01:00

Hi All,

Please find attached pictures taken by Andy of our first venture into holding a model show of our own. This was held at the Old Parcels Office, Bridlington Railway Station on Saturday 27th August 2011.

Unfortunately I could not be there in person as was in hospital(I know any excuse!), but from those I have spoken to it went very well and an enjoyable day was had by all, despite some hard work involved. It is a credit to everyone concerned for making it a great day. Enjoy the pictures!

Also, congratulations to Paul, for winning the Annual Club Trophy which was judged by public vote, well done!

My First Blog

2011-08-16T09:17:00.001+01:00

Hi again,

Don't know quite what happened there, the photos came up but the text was missing, so here we go again with the text.

It is the Tamiya kit with very little extra added, except deflecting the elevators.

It was painted with 'Aeroscale' RLM 04 for the yellow, top surfaces and fuselage were sprayed with 'Alclad' Airframe Aluminium, then a further coat of 'Citadel' Mythril Silver was applied to the top surface of the wings.

USAAF markings were applied and then over sprayed to give a look of being cleaned off.

Transfers from the spares, and little people from ICM

Stranger in a Strange Land

2011-08-16T09:02:00.001+01:00

Hi All,

This is my first attempt at posting a blog on our website so I thought a couple of photos of the captured P51b would compliment Andy's article.

New Quarterly Competition Theme.

2011-08-15T20:29:00.001+01:00

Hi All,

The new theme for the next quarterly club competition will be:-

'FILM TITLE' , so get your thinking caps on, and the building boards clear! Competition night will be at the November meeting.

After discussion with Bill, he explains his idea for the theme is an actual item in the title ;ie 'Titanic' or a looser association, such as 'The Dambusters' whereby a model of a 617 Sqdn Lancaster would be in keeping.

This has been set by Bill, who was the winner of the last quarterly competition which theme was 'Strange'.

Any other questions about the 'Film title' theme to Bill please.
