August meeting coming up

US Rocket collection at Kennedy Space Center. Unknown scale, approximately 1/144.

Our August meeting will be Aug. 16th, the third Tuesday, as normal. Our theme for August is "Cold Wars" which includes subjects dealing with winter warfare, the official "Cold War", or dealing with cold environments. Until then, I'm posting a few pictures of some models. Obviously, the top picture of the rockets was not built by one of our members. Actually, I think our members would have made better models.

Some of Roger's 1/700 US destroyers. Something unusual about that one in the foreground.

June's theme was "Naval" which covers a great deal of subjects. So I thought I'd show some pictures of Roger's collection and also Dave F.'s collection.

Dave F. also collects ships in 1/700.

June Meeting update

OK, it's time to turn this blog loose to do its work helping our members prepare for meetings and displaying pictures. I was unable to attend most of last month's meeting due to work, but someone had mentioned we were doing Naval as the theme last month. Checking our printed schedule, however, I see that last month was supposed to be "Lend Lease" and June is "Naval"!

I better get the word out!

New Blog Site for Southern Front!

Welcome to the new blog for the Southern Front. We're a small group of plastic kit modelers living in and around Utah County, south of Salt Lake City, Utah. We are members of the SLC-IPMS club, which meets on the second Tuesday of each month up in Salt Lake City. With the rising cost of gas and the time it takes to reach the SLC meeting, some of the members wanted to meet monthly as well (or in place of) down in Utah County.

So far there are about a dozen members who meet on the third Tuesday of each month (except December) at Central Elementary School in Pleasant Grove, at about 7:30 pm. We like to bring finished models, new kits, and current projects to discuss modeling and share modeling tips.

Soon I'll be posting our calendar themes and some more pictures. Keep us bookmarked!
