May 2025 – Meeting Recap

Club Business

Reminder that the AMCC will be having a contest on September 27 at the UNM Continuing Education building. ASM members voted to sponsor an award for that show.

ASM is sponsoring the 1/72 large prop division at Nationals this year.

Harvey Chace will be giving a presentation at the October meeting on the “Red Ball Express” and he’ll be sponsoring a similarly themed contest.

Tariff’s are likely going to significantly impact the cost of model making. Time to work through your stash and save your money for paint and supplies!

Attendance: approximately 39.
