The top honours go to Jeff and his excellent F9F-6 Grumman Gougar. In second to fourth were Lou's DH-106 Comet, Ken's NA B-25 Mitchell and Mark's Lockheed P-80 Shooting Star.

Congratulations also goes to the following models selected by the judges.

Lou, you can add two 1/144 models to the MotY. list. The ones with decals are finished.

Half the year is almost done with and we have 37 models on display in the Construction folder. That is assuming I have not forgotten anybody.

This has been an interesting half year with such a wide variety of subjects to show already,I was just thinking how good they would all look on a table at some model show displayed together,Lou would it be possible to do a montage picture of some sort at the end of the year showing the fruits of all our labours together ? combined with what we have here it would make for a great record,not sure how it can be done but someone versed in a paint programme would probably manage to come up with something ? food for thought anyway.

Montages were my favorite subject in MS Word classes. I will do one. Unfortunately I am limited to 22" X 22" due to my program.

Barry's got a great idea. And Lou should be able to do a good job with it to promote the Group.

So great positive thoughts already on this idea,and just think we could also place a few of these montages on some of the other modelling groups at the end of the year to show our output and what we are doing to keep solids alive.

First draft at make a collage. I just downloaded a bunch of pics. The placement will change to make the presentation more appealing to view.

One could group them by era, type, or builder etc...

Balsabasher · June 23, 2011, 04:12:42 PM

Excellent idea Lou,they do look most attractive grouped together like this.

Good job so far Lou. And thanks again - on behalf of all our members if I might - for all the time you have taken away from your other activities in order to contribute to the Group.
