A lot of the guys are looking forward to working with airbrushes. Weathering was another topic besides basic building. One guy had some resin and P.E. but hasnt tried it
yet he wasnt sure about glueing and painting so that will be a good one to work with. The car guys are wanting to do engine detailing,dechroming and paint polishing.
So overall there is broad range of things to work on.
Whats real nice we are able to use airbrushes so the guys that dont have them will be able to work them.
On a sad note i was the only aircraft guy there but a few others are wanting to give them a try.

Good to hear it started off well. Sounds like this could grow into a great group, with productive and informative meetings.

I wish you were closer i would join. Gotta love the white stuff we are getting, more time to work on modeling projects. Do you know of any shows close by?Its nice to see that you had a kid in your group. My son also likes to help and do the snap tite models. With all the electronic stuff anymore kids just dont work on models anymore. Sad. Its hard to even find any models and paints around here. Hobby Lobby and thats about it.

The first step is to find a room for a such exhibition. Because there are many members who can show their works I would suggest talking with the headmaster of the nearest school with a gymnasium. You may ask if there are any tables and chairs you can use. The second step is to advert the show. You can do it via the net for instance. Also the LHS can hang up a poster with the info about the show.

have you considered club group builds....maybe bring in a "professional" model builder from outside the club to judge and award a small prize (say, a kit of some decription) for first place.......
