Finish What You Started Group Build - 2010
Welcome to the official "intervention" page for our
chapter. As any modeler and their family and friends know, many of
us modelers from time-to-time stumble and fall into the near-helpless
state of not being able to bring a model to completion, while continuing
to start and purchase others. It's a sad and deplorable condition
afflicting modelers the world over.
DAPM is taking a firm stand to help its members
overcome and triumph over this condition clinically known as styrenus
incompletus -- or "Incomplete Model Syndrome."
During the first half of 2010, our members are
coming out of the closet with styrene in tow, and are publically
identifying with their condition and reaching out for help via our ad hoc
support group in the "Finish What You Started Group Build - 2010."
Any club member wishing to be held accountable to
complete an unfinished kit started at least 12 months prior may declare
their respective subjects by March 20, 2010. Subject kits must
be completed for a special club contest held during the June
October 2010 monthly
meeting (yes...we had to slip the date, since only 3 members had theirs
done in June (nicely done Ed, Joe, and Dave). Members are encouraged to bring the subjects to club
meetings or provide update pics to the
webmaster from time-to-time
throughout the build.
Here's a look at what our pathetic (but lovable)
crew has brought forth:
