Meeting Highlights

Another nice turn out for our monthly meeting. A special thanks to all who brought something in for us to see. Russ Holm brought in his US Calvary figure. Bob Bethea brought in one of the new Gen2 Dragon figures (a German soldier throwing a grenade). Bob Bethea also brought in his Easter Express Russian KV 1s tank. Sam Brister brought one of his 1/6th scale figures. This time it was a figure of an American Paratrooper. And finally, Terry D. Lowman brought in his 1970's vintage 1/35th scale Tamiya German Stug III. Terry is building this kit for our June contest - The 70's Show.
