197: December 2019 Meeting
The Southern Maryland Scale Modelers will be meeting at 7pm Thursday, 19th December, at:
NSi Conference Room
21513 Great Mills Road
Lexington Park, Maryland.
Everyone is welcome, all we ask is that you bring a project, finished or not, theme or non-theme to share during our Show-N-Tell discussion. Ok, you really don't need to bring a project, but do come in and talk about modeling.
There is no theme for December, as always we will enjoy our annual pot luck and Christmas Party. if you bring a model, we will do a quick show and tell.
If you want to participate in the gift exchange, remember to bring a nice wrapped gift.
The typical way it works is Tim will pass out a ticket for all who bring a gift, then Tim will choose tickets and each person in turn will choose a gift and unwrap it, or alternatively steal a gift already opened. After the third "steal" the gift is frozen and no more steals are allowed. The first person chosen will be allowed a steal after the last gift is opened, because they did not have that option at the start.
There is a new wrinkle this year: The Club will also provide a gift, and the last gift on the table after all is done will be returned to the monthly raffle pile.

2019 IPMS Nationals
We had a great time at Nationals in Chattanooga, Tennessee. The Chattanooga chapter hosted a great show and contest! A few stats I noted during the awards ceremony:
The NASPLANE display was a great hit. I overheard lots of folks talking about it, and I've noticed pictures of it have shown up on other websites. The special discussion topics on the Leader (Dale Earnhardt Jr), the pusher (Cessna), the only twin (Hooters), and of course the trail (GoDaddy - Danica Patrick). This will be a hard one to follow.
The Yellow Wings was photographed quite a lot. And the Burma Banshees was well received. The Frankenfort caught lots of people off guard as they approached the tables from one direction they assumed a formation ship, and from another an RAF Fortress III.
When I dropped by the display I also was able to chat with folks about all our displays and give them some background info on our great club. I'm looking forward to San Marcos, Texas for 2020 but I won't be hauling a display that far.
- Over 5,000 models on the competition tables
- 961 registrants for the competitions
- 1,675 display only models
The 3 Amigos did of course bring home some metal: Scot Samo, Andy Frill and Andy "Whitey" White. Congratulations!
Our Club Display enjoyed place of honor in the contest room:
