Portsmouth IPMS are hosting Modelblitz 2023

Saturday 15th April at Lovedean Village Hall for a day of domestically unsupervised modelling fun.

Modelblitz is not a model show but an opportunity to get together to chat about and do some actual modelling. Come along, even if just for a couple of hours, bring some toys to play with, we'll be there from 1000 to 1600 hours. Tea, coffee and biscuits will be available, and there's plenty of free and safe parking space.

There may even be some demonstrations of modelling techniques (I for one want to see how oil washes are done!), if you have anything you'd like to demonstrate by all means add a comment.

I have family and friend in that area - if I can square things away I'd love to put faces to names! (and throw beer down my neck with like-minded hooligans)!

You might see me Steve, but not sure there'll be many others from this forum (probably all over the place)
if I get there I'll buy the beers as I owe you.
