Seattle Area Meetup?

Thanks.  I'll be back.

I had to cut out early to hit the archives and wasn't able to stay for all of show & tell, but Fred's transport was certainly getting a lot of interest and respect on the table before hand! It was good to meet you Fred, and I hope she shows up at the spring show!

I made it and was very pleased to meet Tracy and Rick and Gordon et al.  You should try to get up here in the new year GM.

Fred

I wont be able to attend, unfortunately. I have a commitment the night before, and I cant get a flight in onSaturday before about 11.30.

Maybe another time soon.

What time is it?

Yeah, I'll be there and will have ship models in progress on the display table. I was at the November meeting but had to leave early to get in some research time at the National Archives, so no ship scame with me. There was a 200th scale Bismarck there though!

Is anybody still up for the Bellevue meeting on December 14?  I'll go if there will be a few other ship builders there.

Fred

Ah, OK. I don't have a Facebook account and I limit my forums to keep myself more focused on writing, so ArmChairGeneral isn't a place I've been. I'll take a quick look tonight after work.

The Le Soleil Royal , H.M.S. Prince , and Royal Louis, were dun in Washington.  The Napoleon was dun in California.  And I hope to have the Le Glorieux finished by Christmas.

facebook, and armchairgeneral.com      A google imedge serch for   maritime art and pencil drawings  will also bring them up.

Also - David, no worries. While sailing ships are beyond my patience level, I can admire them and want to help every aspect of the hobby that I can!

Niles - I did not know you were doing any - where are you posting them?

Thankyou for remembering me Tracy.  Have you kept up on my sailing ship pencil drawings ?

Thanks for the heads-up, Tracy...Floyd says we're still on...I'm going to bring my built plastic Imai Santa Maria, and my unbuilt MS Katy of Norfolk....looking forward to it!

Hey David - check in with Floyd. He hadn't heard back from anyone (including you, I checked back channel) and was thinking of cancelling the meeting.

Niles (Santa) was the only serious plastic sailing ship builder in IPMS Seattle.

I'm going to check out the Puget Sound Ship Modelers meeting this Saturday in Seattle...they all build with wood, but I want to meet a few sailing ship modelers, check out their builds, etc....the admin said plastic builders are totally welcome, so I don't think I'll be shunned!  Should be fun to take some notes and chat awhile.

Not sure about the IPMS club.  Sounds like they're mostly aircraft and military, with a few steel ship builders...I was really hoping for some plastic sailing ship model enthusiasts...so I may not make it next month, either.  But if some guys from here are going to attend in December, I'll make a point to come out, at least to meet some of you in person...:)

Actually we are going to have a dinger. My sister went up to the Sierras last weekend with her Lab for a high altitude rescue. They got rained on, sleeted on, haled on and snowed on.

Dog spent the night in the tent on her bag.

I am serious about December.

Hi Niles - I hope the California winters are treating you better than the Pacific Northwet ones!

As I live in Placerville, California now.  You will have to keep tract of my work, here, or on facebook.

Just a heads up for anyone interested in the IPMS Seattle October 2013 meeting - it's been pushed back a week so as to not conflict with the IPMS Vancouver (Canada) Fall Show. That makes it October 19th, 2013. 

I'm probably out, too....It doesn't seem like it's geared so much toward the things I'm interested in...

Regretfully, I'm out for the September meeting - I just found out the 520 Bridge is going to be closed this weekend. I need to get in some research and the drive around 90 will suck up too much time. I'll be sure to make the October through December meetings though.

I've got it saved on my calendar...will update this thread once the time gets closer, as a reminder.

December 14 sounds like a date I can make, barring epic snow.

Fred

Honestly, the only reason I would be interested in going would be to see (and talk about!) sailing ship modeling...

But it would be worth the drive, just to meet a couple of Finescale Forum members in person!  And it would be all the better if there were some sailing ship models to look at/talk about.  I'll be bringing something....

December sounds good...

I will commit to the December date if you all can see a way to be there.
