On the 18th of February.The Coventry and Warks IPMS club held its bi-monthly meeting at the Air Museum Coventry.The main theme of the meeting was just to get together and build and discuss your latest projects.
I was there in my official capacity as "Blog Meister" and spoke to some of the members and took some images of their latest projects.Amongst them was Steve Roberts who is currently working on a 1/144 VC-10 Test Bed that carried a RR, RB-211 on the port engine pylon.The kit itself is Airfix and the Conways are from Braz in resin.Pete Rollins is currently working on a GATO class Submarine.This is huge to say the least and will need a big area to display it.Going to the other extreme and working in micro mode is Will Williams who is producing some amazing armour in 1/144 scale.Also talking of armour was Paul Redfern who at present seems to be making the whole of the modern Chinese Army Armour.His latest creation is based loosely on the BTR80 series.Lastly and of great interest to me was Mark Sandford.He is currently working on a 1/32 Hawk from Revell.Mark tells me that he will be doing a 4FTS Red and White version.I shall look forward to seeing this.
Below are some of the images taken.
