newsletter created

So I now have a newsletter. First of many to come. Got any ideas...let me know.
Want the pdf version, just send an email. Thanks.

Welcome one and all!!!

Welcome to the first of many I hope, issues of CAMMO. This newsletter will have content for the tread head-of-heart. There might be some other content thrown in for those that have split modeling personalities. But whatever is your level of expertise or interest, all are welcome.

What is CAMMO?

CAMMO is a SIG (Special Interest Group) in association with IPMS/USA. A SIG is merely a group of modelers that share a common interest, in this case, armored vehicles.

CAMMO is dedicated to modeling anything armored; soft skinned; artillery or wheeled vehicles, and not the one with a hood scoop.

Although, if you do bring a car kit to a gathering…we certainly will accept all targets.

CAMMO Membership

Simple! Obviously you found this through IPMS/USA website or the Journal, so just send me a contact and you’re all set. There, painless and simple. And to the NSA geek reading this…have a nice day.

To contact me, my email address is: cammoleader@gmail.com

Identify the vehicle?

Finished kit

Spotted at the 2012 IPMS Nationals

Still Alive

Still alive and trying to build something.

However, I am going to WPAFB during the Doolittle Raider's 70th Anniversary. Will be taking lots of photos and meeting the last five living Raiders. Will be a very memorable time.

Posting pics soon.

1/8 scale Leopard 2A

Got plans off of a seller on Ebay to build your very own 1/8 scale Leopard 2A MBT. The tank or monster if you will, is designed for R/C building. But, it can also be made into a terrific static model, though incredibly large. From cannon tip to aft end it is nearly 47 inches long. This might just be a extreme long term project.

Lorain IPMS Party

Thnk you for having me as a guest at your annual Christmas Party. I find your club to be a fresh breathe of modeling air. Builders and models.

2011 Club Affiliation

January will mark the new IPMS affiliation for CAMMO. I will be joining the Lorain County IPMS. A nice club filled with builders and no politics.

It's a new Day and new model

I got my latest issue of Squadron mail order, and damn near had a heart attack over the prices of Tamiya 1/35 kits. Most of the molds are from the 70's and no real changes have been made. So why pay 55.00 for a well-worn Panzer IV J that has nothing special to it. Just the same old kit from forty years past, not even a PE fret to justify the cost of covering the tooling cost for the new BT-7 Russkie light tank. Is this how you recoup (RE-COOP, for the DEAR Leader in the White House who can;t prononuse Corpsman) your engineering costs Tamiya.
I'll plan to convert to 1/72 scale armor. At least UM from Russia is cheap and a wide line of obscure Russian and now American tanks.

Off the Mosque Reservation

What an enlightened world we live in where the enemies of our Country are ALLOWED to build a 100 million dollar "prayer" and community center only blocks from where 3000 fallen American will forever rest. Thanks to the Commie's of this County, we can only thank you for your enlightened approach to one world government and Social bliss. Worked so well in the Soviet Union.

My motto...when the enemy is at your gates' save the last bullet for yourself.

I would like to apply for a building permit to build a pork sausage factory right next door to the NYC mosque. Why not...I have a right to be annoying.

The best way to get revenge, is to be ten times more annoying than they are.
Do you really think the Iron Workers union will erect steel? Hell no!
Do you really think the Concrete folks will lay one pound of concrete? Hell no!
Do you really think the NYPD will offer the best security? Probably...though reluctantly.

Another classless, brain-dead move on the part of our Dear Leader in the Reichs Chancellory.

Now say thank you America and ask for some more porage please.
