Stuka-Fest Begins
Starting September 1 several of our members have decided to participate in what is called a 'group build'. This is where they decide on a particular subject or kit and then all the participants build the same subject or kit. For this particular build they have chosen the german Stuka as the subject. At the September meeting we got a 'sneak peek' at some of the kits that they will be working on and it looks like it will be a fantastic build.There is a forum set up specifically for this build which will follow each participant as they work on their kits. Check it out here.
Greetings!!
Welcome to the wonderful world of plastic model building. Not only is this hobby incredibly fun, rewarding, and relaxing but it can even be *gasp* educational as well. Whether you've stopped by because you saw one of our local shows, are curious about this 'strange' pastime, or are coming back to the hobby after a hiatus we're glad you stopped by and hope that this site will help to stimulate your imagination and improve your modelling skills. There is a wealth of information on this site - from our newsletter archive to the vast collection of model-related links. We also have our own forums where you can share tips and tricks, accumulate knowledge, expand your skills, and just hang out with other 'plastic fanatics'.The club has been active now for over 20 years. We are a fun group of people with a wealth of information and experience. We are always excited to share this knowledge with new modellers which includes our growing junior segment. If you are from the Saskatoon area feel free to come out to our monthly meetings. Membership is not a requirement so check it out and see what all the excitement is about.
We meet on the first Wednesday of every month at the Parkridge Center. The meetings officially begin at 7:00 pm, starting with approximately one hour of building and socializing before moving on to actual club business.

Since the Stuka group build is starting this month I thought this would be an appropriate
site to showcase this month. It has a great tutorial section and it also has a bunch of nice
pictures of a Stuka in the gallery section for possible reference. Good luck on your builds!
