– Aircraft 1/48 – Eduard Tempest (any boxing..)
– Aircraft 1/72 – Airfix Typhoon (any boxing…)

BONUS kit classes for those who came along at Club Night and were given a kit :

– Warhammer Figure – Age of Sigmar Stormcast Eternal Liberator
Since they were a give-away, we do expect these to be assembled, painted & presented back for judging….
(there are no more Phantoms left to give away, but we do have more of the Warhammer Figures if you want one – come along to next club night.)
TIMETABLE :
You can start building from tonight. You need to bring your completed model to the August Club Night – Wednesday the 28th of August 2019.
Judging and Prizegiving will be completed at the August Club Night – and every modeller that enters a completed BSK model will get a prize (one prize per modeller regardless of how many models entered). Judging will be done on each class and certificates will be awarded for 1st, 2nd, 3rd for each class.
Terms & Conditions apply to your entry (like your membership is paid…) and Judges decision is final on the results.
Good luck and remember you have less than 3 months to get them completed, so get cracking !!
Just in case you haven’t paid your club subs for 2019 yet, you can download the membership form here:
Scale Models Wellington membership form 2019
Following the AGM, all membership types are the same as last year.
You can pay by internet banking, or post in a cheque – but we do need the form filled in and returned so that we have your correct contact details. We’re also keen to hear about your ideas for club nights so do that fill that in too.
It’s been a while, but we’ve now uploaded all of last year’s issue of the Club newsletter here. We’ll be uploading each new issue a couple of months after it’s published but the most recent issues will remain ‘members only’.
As ever, huge thanks to those of you who attended and supported Scale Models Expo this year, we couldn’t have done it without you. We had a great range of models on display and it was cool to see so many model-makers and families enjoying themselves at the show.
Look forward to seeing you again in 2020!
A bit of neat last minute news – Gary Hunt just confirmed he’ll be attending Expo with a sales stall for his miniatures line. He’ll also be demonstrating his Barbarian Beestwars game system (based on Zombiesmith’s Shieldbash ruleset) so you can get a taste of the free rules and pick up some figures to paint and game with.
Gary sculpts and sells pewter miniatures in 28mm, 32mm and 54mm scales covering historical, fantasy and science-fiction subjects. He’s worked at Weta Workshop since 2001 sculpting collectibles and working on feature films including Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, King Kong, District 9, Avatar, Master and Commander and many more.
You can see more of Gary’s work at his website: garyhuntminiatures.com
Some people like to paint single figures to a remarkable standard, others enjoy collecting and painting huge armies. These can be simply for display, or more entertainingly for battling other armies as part of a miniature wargame. Throwing dice across a table full of painted miniatures and beautiful scenery is a great way to spend an afternoon.
Scale Models Expo gives you a great opportunity to try the miniature wargaming hobby – we have demonstration games from both the worlds of Warhammer and Bolt Action. Feel free to talk to Will and Luke at the Games Workshop table, and Tyrone and Dan at the Bolt Action table – they’ll explain how things work and get you rolling dice and charging into the attack ASAP.
