Title: 2001 - 2021 20th Anniversary September Ping
Post by: lastvautour on September 01, 2021, 06:44:07 PM
Summer days are all but gone and hunkering down for the coming cooler temperature gives me hope of renewed activities from our members.
Here are the current stats: 3 new topics, 155 new posts and 261854 pages viewed during August. Year to date views are 1999936 which is pretty darn close to the 2 million mark. With four months left we may have another record year.

The gallery is pretty quiet with just 5 new photos uploaded.
So far this year the membership have completed 38 models. So for all of you who are waiting for the time to complete that languishing models starting a new one, let's get at it. After all, Christmas is just around the corner.

Found this handy colour reference chart on the Stockholm IPMS site. I often go there for reference materiel.

This is the cleanest my bench has been since moving here.

Templates for the Mosquito and the Nate are being readied. I have added a 1/72 PC-9 and an F-105 Airtoon as well. There are no set schedules nor projected completion dates.
