Greetings all;
In an effort to practice what I preach I am in the middle of an offline GB. It started with the Colorado Aviation Historical Society contacting me and asking if I could be the go between for them with a local IPMS group. They were asking for completed model kits from young modelers to use in a fundraising auction.
Their promoter is Ms. A. Parks and I hooked her up with Fred at Colpar Hobbies in east Denver CO. Fred donated 20 snap tite aircraft kits and I approached the Rob Wolf IPMS club . The rest is what we can call a GB.
The kits are ;
The Shuttle
The F 18 Hornet
The SR 71
Previously built models may also be donated for the auction.
This is a great opportunity for young local modelers to learn about the CAHS and its role in CO. For participating each built kit will result in a certificate from the CAHS for the modeler. It can be Dad n lad, or solo builds, Dad & Daughter or sibling co-op builds. Mom can join in too.
This is a plan or template if you will, for your consideration. Start one where you live. Historical Society or Civil Airpatrol or local museum. It takes volunteers in the hobby to give growth to the hobby.
