Clinics

8:30 AM till noon each day & 6:30 PM to 9:00 PM on Friday.

Clinics are being developed. So far, we have—

Alan AndersonMake and Take figure painting using Aspen Models figures.
This will be an extra fare clinic. Participants will receive one of Aspen Models newest 3D printed figures in S scale, a quality brush, and a paint tray. The figure will be primed and mounted onto a wooden block to facilitate holding. A small number of colors of Vallejo Model Air paint will be available to share. Bring your Optivisor and your preferred brush, if you have one. Below is an image of a new figure from Aspen. We may select another figure to simplify the clinic.

Duane Richardson, MMRIf it Ain’t Dirty, It ain’t Done!
Duane will share his philosophy of weathering structures, vehicles, signs, engines, rolling stock or anything else not tied down on our layouts. This will be a prelude to Steve Amitrano’s clinic on how he weathers engines and rolling stock.

Doug Junda – The Ibex Branch of the D&RGW.
One of the lesser know branches of the DRGW: The IBEX Branch.   I look at the Ibex branch of the DRGW, that ran out of Leadville to the Ibex Mines.  The Branch was the Highest Point reached in the history of the DRGW. The branch started out as narrow gauge and was converted to standard gauge. The history of the branch will be covered as well as some of the history of the Ibex Mining company.  I model of the Ibex depot will be on display in S Scale (of course).
