Hello all,
A quick introduction to our model group. I should have posted here months ago. For those of you who frequent the IPMS webpage, you know about us and the great support we have received.
Here is the June update on the Group -
I hope this finds you well. Here is the June update to the Speicher Model Group. First and foremost, thanks for the continued support of the group. We have moved to another area in the MWR building and had KBR build some shelf to hold the kits.
We have also had a lot more soldiers taking part in the Group. Everyone is just amazed at the selection and supplies that have been provided from the states. I do have a request to pass on from some of the soldiers. They would like more 1/72 scale WWII era aircraft kits. They have proved very popular and we only have a few remaining. We are also running low on acrylic paint. We can always use more armor too.
On Memorial Day, we had a model display show in the MWR Library. I set the display up at 0700 in the morning and at 1800 when I arrived to remove all of the kits, there was quite a crowd still looking at them. I of course brought the soldiers back to the Group area and showed then the kits they could build.

I had one soldier who’s husband is located at another smaller FOB send him several kits with construction supplies. So it looks like we are doing “care” packages too.
I would like to thank the following organizations and individuals who have donated to the group.
Groups – Micro MARK Co, Fine Scale Modeler Magazine, The Polish Coastwatchers.
Individuals – Shawn Doughtie, Richard Redmond, R. Ekstrom, H. Lapa, Andy Kwong
