Don't forget the Model Pledge Contest for 2024
May 27, 2024,
We had about 32 folks attend May's meeting. Diorama/Open was the theme. The models were fantastic, see the pictures under Galleries.
The Pelikan Club bought a trophy package for IPMS Nationals in Madison, WI. There were not many categories left. We sponsored Category 235 - Multi or Towed Vehicles, non-diorama.
We got a handle on a new larger meeting venue at the Pinellas Gulf Coast Academy nearby on Coachman close to Belcher. We are trying to get our new meeting place set up for June's meeting but there are lots of paperwork and insurance forms to complete before we can make the move. Hopefully, we will get this all in order for the June meeting.
At the meeting, there didn't seem to be a lot of enthusiasm for getting together at the Clearwater library to do occasional group model builds. We will continue plugging away at this but if it doesn't work out we will still have our Sprues & Brews get-togethers.
We have 5 months remaining before the 28 members who signed up for the Model Contest Pledge Build for 2024 have those models completed for October's Club Contest, so get building folks and share your progress at the meetings. We will have a judged contest properly and cash awards will be issued.
The Revised Theme awards system. The new system seemed to go well. Tom Hartline won 1st place with his USS Detroit Helicopter carrier deck for 6 points, Brian Fowler got 2nd place for his large armor battle-destroyed village diorama for 4 points and Al Vacarro won 3rd place for color/grayscale dioramas for 2 points. Everyone else who brought in a model got one point for participating.
The way it works: Everyone who brings a model to the meeting for the Monthly Theme goes to Paula first and gets a numbered chit to place with your model. Non-theme models check in with her too so she can log in a point for bringing in a model. Everyone bringing in a model will get at least 1 point. Cosmetically nothing will change, we will still vote the same as we always have done and there will be a monthly winner but additionally, 1st place will get 6 points, 2nd will get 4 points, 3rd will get 2 points and anyone bringing a model to the meeting will get 1 point. In November the total points will be added up awarding 1st, 2nd & 3rd Cash Awards.
