Something Rick painted for one of his kids.

…and Rick Weeks’ Mad Max car at the end of the movie! 🙂
Don’t you just know that Phil Allen is ALWAYS coming up with something unique? Here’s some 1:1 scale shells to go with his scratch-built cannon on the scratch-built RC boat. INSANITY!
Before moving to PA, Bill Brierton got started on this American LaFrance 900 Pumper fire engine.
Carey Marrinen is still “figuring” out some modeling and brought this Australian WWII Coastwatcher in 54mm this month. Nicely done, Carey!

Steve also brought this 1/72 F-4C Phantom II displayed in flight for the theme!
Jonathan Wright brought this little Polish model of the RWD-7 (or was it RWD-11?) that he found for like $1 in a bag during recent model swapping. The decals, despite being some 40 years old, went on surprisingly well and he turned out a really nice little model!
Steve Workman brought this Broken Flower… I mean, the “in work” Hasegawa 1/72 Ki-48 Lily to share.
Scott Samo wipped out this 1/32 Fw190D-9 paint mule to show his approach to preparing the surface for applying decals.
Then Scott shared his current “in work” project, a Hobby Boss 1/48 Su22 Fitter-K in a really cool camouflage scheme!
I believe this was Paul Warren’s current WIP, a 1/48 F-14A Tomcat, though I forget the manufacturer.
Chris Thout had three models on hand, all nicely done. The first is this 1/48 F/A-18E Super Hornet in VFA-97 livery.

Chris’ final display model is this nice 1/72 S-3A Viking (“Hoover”).

The July meeting saw a good number of modelers (24) present with many models (42+), especially for the summer months as this is normally a time of reduced model production. It was good to share with everyone present. Enjoy the models!
