Sorry G, a bit too far bud but you are more than welcome to come to the east coast Wink How you been bro?

Rob the guys are all doing good. If you can swing it to come on by that would be great. Love to meet you in person dude.

Roughly a 1000 mile one way trip. Even with my nephew's graduation at Boston College High School, I don't think I'll be making the trip up to my sister's in Marshfield. Haven't been in Mass. since I left in January 2005.

Hiya Boyd. Iain has already painted one of the sinkies, and man it looks freakin awesome. Check out the link to my forum, there is a thread on the workshop with pics of Iain's painted Sinkie.

LOL

Dupes look here for more info and some pics of the "wedgies". Basically it's a cut / slice of a tank. What Steve of Celticwerks has done is made his own E-25 wedgie. In the case of the E-25, it's more a sinkie. It depicts an E-25 partially submerged in water. Each participant gets one to play around with the weathering....and you get to keep it ( and a Joe Farina base as well).

Man, I would love to come down to this...Boyd has been hounding me for a few weeks already! Unfortunately, the week before the 4th is the final ramp-up towards summer for the business - not sure if it's going to be possible.

OK, Mark... here is my ultimatum: you do this event, and I'll do your triathlon... Wink

What's a "wedgie"? Looked at the Celtic site, couldn't find anything by that name. Huh?

Oh, you walked right into that one...

Actually they are little 'sections' of vehicles, molded on a base. Iian did a color modulation demo with one on here a month or two ago:

Boyd I knew you would be the first on the list for a workshop. I won't be doing any demo's this time around, might pull up a chair next to you...... see you in June dude.

As Boyd mentioned there is a very wide selection of German beers. Six are on tap and the rest are bottled beers. The food will be a hot German lunch...brats, sauerkraut etc...

You can use the contact email address at Celticwerks or get in touch with me and I'll steer you in the right direction.

Guys (and gals)

I was fortunate enough to attend the even in February and have already reserved my seat for June. This is a GREAT time and a real good chance to actually 'learn while doing'. If you can make it, you will NOT be disappointed!

The food ain't too bad either. And then there is the whole line-up of German beers...Toast

AMPS Nordland- Evolution event
Posted by scratchmod on Monday, May 30, 2011 5:04 PM

Back in February I held a hands on workshop on rusting, and now our model club will be hosting a similar event. Unlike demo's that are given during model shows, this workshop will be a stress free day with like minded people who enjoy the hobby.

Below is the info and contact for anyone interested in attending. Seats are going fast so reserve yours now...and tell him Scratchmod sent you Big Smile

 

On June 25th,2011 AMPS Nordland is hosting a modelling seminar featuring AK Interactive and Joe Farina Enterprises. The event will be held in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, USA.

Iain Hamilton of AK Interactive USA and Joe Farina of Joe Farina Enterprises will provide "hands-on" instruction. Topics include finishing Joe Farina Bases and the use of AK Interactive products for weathering.

Each participant will receive a Joe Farina Enterprises base and a Celticwerks "wedgie" which will be finished using Vallejo Paints and AK Interactive weathering products- under the direction of a couple of master modelers.

Cost for the event will be $45 and includes everything you need except paint brushes and beer money. Authentic German lunch will be provided, coffee and donuts for breakfast. Cash bar all day!

Joe Farina Enterprises, Alpenflage Hobbies and Celticwerks will have vendor tables.

For more info and a Flyer- contact Steve through my site:

www.celticwerks.net

There are 12 seats remaining as of 5-30-2011.

 

Looking forward to seeing you all there.

Rob
