Well...Wednesday night we had another great meeting. It was definitely great for Dr. Zorkon because he sold quite a bit of stuff during the evening. As I was the recipient of some of that merchandise, I felt like it was a pretty good night for me as well. Well, here are a few pictures for those of you who couldn't make it. We start with Point Man's Vietnam stuff.

Point Man built a teaser display of 1:1 and 1:6th Vietnam stuff, a taste of what he will be doing down at Ft. Thomas in November. The display featured a lot of his 1:1 scale printable items, a uniform and gear, M-79 Thumper and a flak Jacket. He also brought some of the characters from his Vietnam Story comic.

Hammer Six did a really cool set up, featuring a couple of his kitchen wagons, accessories and troops. I've got to tell you, he has got some cool stuff here.

One of the kitchen wagons started out as a kit and the other is the Cyber Hobbies piece. I can tell you from seeing both of them up close and personal that they are both outstanding models and Hammer Six has done a great job of painting, weathering and detailing them.

I know that you all would probably like to see more of this display and you will eventually as it is going to be the subject of an upcoming UPDATE. There is quite a bit more detail to show.

Hammer Six also brought this great looking Horsh for the rest of us to drool over and his sd.kfz 222 armored car as well (below). He has got the best toys hand down.

This is his Taowan 222, reviewed elsewhere on this site. It really turned out sharp. His painting and weathering are top notch. For being in questionable shape when he got it... it has turned into an absolutely beautiful model.


Below Trooper Tim did this rather scary looking zombie type thing. I'm not exactly sure what the story is behind the figure, but it gives me the willies. 

This was the evening's reminder from Tim's mother, Nancy, that fall is upon us and all things Football are starting up again. I saw these Football Robots the other day at the local Kroger. They are pretty interesting.

...And we finish out the night with just a quick shot of some of the stuff that Dr. Zorkon had for sale last night. I was pleased to pick up some Sideshow Indiana Jones figures from him. It was a good night. Well, that is all for this evening, until next time, have a good one.

Well, last night we had our monthly meeting (see our contact page for more information about meeting times). We had a smaller group than normal, but it was a real good meeting even with fewer numbers. I've got a few pictures of the highlights here. We're going to start with some figures by the EVIL DR. ZORKON.

I've got an UPDATE coming up specifically on DR. ZORKON. This guy is amazing, not only his ability to put together unique figures, but also the imagination to dream them up in the first place. We start out with a pair of Golfers. I don't know anything about golf, but it looks like more modern figure and then a golfer from the '40's.

Next, we've got this really great looking pirate. The Good Doctor put this one together for like $5 or some incredibly low amount like that. He is a master at finding great deals on items and seeing how they are going to all go together to make a unique figure. When I saw this figure, the books of Robert Lewis Stevenson came to mind, Treasure Island and Kidnapped.

I am not really to familiar with this figure, but I understand it is the godfather. I really like that little table and the chairs. The Doctor is always finding little pieces like this to create neat little vignettes.

And how about this bench. This thing is like two feet long. It would be perfect for creating the setting of a train station platform (in just about any era). The Doctor paid next to nothing for this great find as well. I tried to keep from drooling on it. And yes, that is Donald Trump taking a much needed rest on the bench.

Next we have beautiful cannon and limber from General Paul. This is a real beauty. I like how he had it displayed with a team on an American flag. It really looked sharp.

He also made this great looking Naval Cannon. It would look pretty good with Dr. Zorkon's Pirate I think. I am waiting to see the ship Paul.

Paul's wife, Nancy had this Buckeye Football Player on Display. I like the neat little stand that he is displayed on. Pretty sharp. I am not really a Buckeye's fan (don't tell anyone), but I thought this was a real cool figure.

Paul's son, Trooper Tim, put together this little vignette of a couple of "law enforcement types". I am not sure if these figures are from show or something, but I really like his setting with the floor and wall. It creates a nice scene.

Here Tim has created another interesting little vignette with what looks like some swap meet tables or a toy show. I am not sure exactly what the theme was, but it was a nice job of finding some "toy" sized items that could be used as well... toys.

The LT, Sergeants Washington and Watkins, and Doc Thompson from VIETNAM STORY put in an appearance as well. The lugged in a few of the sandbags that Mrs. Pointman is making for Firebase Cooper (she's got a long way to go).


It was my evening to do some demos. I did a little demo on working with the "printables" featured on this site and a second little demo on 1:1 paper items -weathering and distressing. The picture below shows some of the items that I have done for my Vietnam impression. In the corner there you can also see the 1:1 scale version of Doc's Diary and Photo Album.

It was a great club meeting and those of us that were there missed all of the club members that couldn't make it for one reason or another. If you are ever in the Cincinnati area on the second Wednesday of the month, be sure to stop in, we would all like to get to know you. That's all for tonight, until next time, have a good one!

I was far too tired to get these pictures put together last night when I got home from Cincinnati. I did get them done today and here are some of the highlights from the meeting on Wednesday. I am going to try to do one of these after every meeting from now on so that folks who couldn't make it can at least see what went on.

It was a good meeting. The big news was that the folks with the Sherman Tank are interested in coming down for the Ft.Thomas show if we can work out the transportation costs. Hammer Six and I are trying to work that out. The other big news is that it looks as though there will be approximately two thousand school children going through the exhibit Wednesday through Friday. That is going to be a handful, but very exciting at the same time. Sounds like we have got two vendors for sure and some other displays (not 1:6th) that are really going to round out the entire event. I am very excited about it. 


You will notice guys in the morning that the blog is getting away from echoing the email UPDATE. I think the blog is about ready to stand on it's own and I am sort of getting down a routine. The email Update has only got about two more weeks and I am planning to announce the existence of the blog to some other folks.  Hope everyone has a great weekend. Until next time, have a good one!
