the Albuquerque Sunport, which is seen by thousands and known and respected
by aviation aficionados worldwide;
3.
Harry has served as the unofficial historian of both the Sunport and
Kirtland AFB for many years and his knowledge of the history of the people,
planes, and events is legend;
4.
Harry created and oversees the Albuquerque Aviation History group,
arranging speakers and displays;
5.
Harry worked to get funding to restore the Ingram Biplane that is the

The document is signed
by the members of the Albuquerque City Council.
This award was very well
deserved by Harry for all his hard work over the years, and ASM is proud to
have Harry as a longtime member. Support of the vast Cavalcade of Wings
model display at the Sunport is an ongoing effort by ASM, and contributes to
the public’s knowledge of the hobby of scale modeling. Multiple ASM members
serve on the Executive Board of the Cavalcade of Wings.

Cub Scout Make and TakeASM
Cub Scout Make and Take
Both the Scouts and the parents in attendance were very
happy with the results and many of the parents came to thank us afterwards and
to tell us how much their children had enjoyed themselves. The Pack also
presented ASM with a poster afterwards to commemorate the event, as you can see
below:
It is unfortunate in our view that IPMS have discontinued their support for these events as everyone there seemed to enjoy themselves very much, and we had at least 2 enquiries about our club and our meeting schedule, which shows that these make and take events are potentially still a valid recruitment tool. As support has been discontinued, however, this is likely to be the last event of this kind that we are able to organize, but at least we went out on a good note. ASM would like to thank the members of Pack 338, their parents, their leaders and especially Shawn Quigley for helping us to organize this event. A picture of all of the ASM team (aside From Bret, who had left at this stage) is shown along with the poster, above.

ASM Super Model Challenge Build
The "ASM Super Model Challenge Build" was launched at the April 3rd, 2015 meeting. A large amount of model kits were donated to ASM under a specific set of "Rules of Engagement (ROE)." The intent was to have the models be built by the members and to have fun doing so - they were not to be sold by the club or the members. The E-Board mulled over a bunch of options and decided upon the "Challenge Build" approach that we have been doing for years, just in a very large way in this case. There are multiple 2015 ASM contests that the donated models could fit into. So the plan is to offer the kits to the members with the intent to build them for those contests. These include the "Rotary Wings" (June 5th), "1945" (July 10th), and "Nuclear Winters" (October 2nd) contests. ASM is building models for the Nuclear Weapons Heritage Model Display at Kirtland AFB and there are a large number of kits that can be built specifically for that display. There is a Sponsored Contest for the Nuclear Weapons Heritage Model Display on October 2nd.
There were about 77 kits out on the tables for members
to choose from, and 27 challenges were accepted during during the meeting.
Pictures were taken of the members holding their selected kits.
The "ASM Super Model Challenge Build" - info and pictures - will be
updated each month here in the Major Events section of the 2015 Meeting Pictures
webpage. The remaining kits will be
brought back to the next several ASM meetings.
A couple of items that have come up since the April 3rd meeting:
These models can be completed and brought in for any contest - it does
not have to be at the suggested contests, i.e. at the Rotary Wings contest, if
you already had three entries being built for that.
The Nuclear Weapons Heritage
Model Display is also interested in non-nuclear-related Cold War era
models, so all those Cold War armor vehicles are a player to be displayed there
too. Please get with Erik McIntyre
to confirm if your kits are desired in the display.
