I've posted an article on this year's Fall Chiller Theater Show. It (and the corresponding pictures) can be viewed off of the Shows Page, or by clicking here.

In addition, I've updated the Classified Corner and the Upcoming Shows Page.

I've posted the handouts from three seminars that were conducted at this year's Wonderfest Show. They have been added to the "Tips n Techniques" Page.
The first is a beefed up version from the Seminar that I conducted, titled "Introduction to Assembling Models (along some helpful hints for filling in seams)".
The second posted handout was written by Jay Chladek, and is on "Making your own Decals."
The third posted handout was written by Larry Johnson, and is on "Washes and Drybrushing."

I've added a number of Modelfest Shows, (that take place in the South Jersey and Maryland/DC area), to the Shows & Other Sites page.

Ok, I've been a busy little Modeling-Webmaster as of late. I've made quite a few changes this go-round. The most noticeable is a redesigning of this initial page. Links have replaced all of the major sections that were found below, and the sections have been moved to their own individual pages. This was necessary because of the growth that this page has gone through. With all of the jpeg pics that were posted here, loading this page was starting to take longer and longer.

In addition, there have been several new sections/pages that have been created. The first is the "Announcements and Updates" one. It will be used to contain the update information that had previously been contained here. (The one latest-n-greatest update will still be posted on this main page, but will be moved over when a new one is added).

The next new section that has been added is the"Seasons Greetings" one. It is dedicated to Christmas and Holiday articles and items. It is listed below and can be found here. There is both a page that contains three articles, along with a Christmas executable program that has been posted there as well.

The next addition that I've made is contained in the "Tips-n-techniques" page. Links to two articles that a friend of mine has written on creating dioramas and creating realistic small trees have been added there. They have been posted at the Delaware Valley Scale Modelers Web Page and can be found here and here

Next, I need your assistance, (if possible). There is a company know as SOL that has a history of recasting model kits. For some bizarre reason, The Squadron Mail Order Company has started selling some of their products. In the 2002 catalogue, there are a number of kits listed under SOL that are questionable in their origin. Click here and take a look at the section of a page that's from Squadron's Catalogue. If you recognize any of the kits listed under Sol as probably being originally produced by some other company, please drop me a line with the particulars at the email address listed above. I'm planning on notifying Squadron about my "concerns" with them selling items that SOL manufactures, but would like to get as much detailed information as possible first. (Thanks).

Next, for you Gundam enthusiasts, Bandi has just released a brand-spanking-new Perfect Grade Gundam, (just in time for the holidays). It is the Gundam MK II and can be viewed at the Hobby Link Japan site here.
The final change to this site is probably the first one that you've noticed. Found above you will see pictures of finished built-up (and built-up nicely) kits. They were built by two modeling buds of mine and showed up at a recent Delaware Valley Scale Modelers Club Meeting. With the lack of pictures now found on this main page, I decided to spruce it up a bit by adding pics of completed kits. These images will be moved over to my "Pics" section after they have been posted here  a while. (If you have pictures of any of your completed models, please feel free to forward their jpeg's to me, and I will gladly add them here).

I've added two articles this go-round. The first is an out-of-box review of Bandai's Perfect Grade MS-06S Zaku II. It can be found here.

The second article added is a write-up on this year's Chiller Theatre Show that just took place last weekend. It can be found here.

A friend of mine named Juan and his bud Milton were kind enough to write an article that talks about the origin of Gundam. With a lot of the buzz regarding these shows, I thought that it would be interesting to learn a bit more about these stories. You can check it out here

October 21, 2001
I just added a rather detailed article on using washes for weathering models, along with using them to apply shadowing, highlighting and realistic skin paint finishes to large scaled figure models. It can be found here

October 9, 2001
I've added a short write up on Bandi's Mobile Suit Gundam Invasion Tour 2001 that I recently attended. It can be found here

October 4, 2001
I've added a new section below, titled the "Classified Corner." It will contain different items (mainly models) that I and others are selling.

One item listed there is a book by Earl Hooks Jr., titled the Jupiter 2 Propulsion Specification Book. I've written a short review on it and have posted a number of pictures from it.
