Members who attended the May 2009 monthly
Division meeting received a DPM building kit and some extra wall components. Many of them brought their
completed kitbashed models for a "show and tell"
presentation at the September 2009 meeting. Members voted for their favorites and prizes were awarded as follows: Phil Bonzon
took first place with his highly modified structure that he displayed on a diorama.
He received a $50 gift certificate to Mark Twain Hobbies for his efforts. Gregor
Moe took second place and received a $30 gift certificate. There was a tie for
third place in the popular vote. Following a coin toss, the $20 gift certificate
was awarded to Dave Bartz. After the business meeting, each modeler spent a few
minutes talking about the design and finishing of his own model.
Not an official entry in the contest,
Rich Laux brought his kitbashed
industry made from two DPM kits for
inspiration on what is possible when
you look at kits as parts to make
your own custom building.
