First off, I would like to thank Jeepney, his lovely fiancee and Fritz for gracing the meeting last Sunday at UP. And a warm welcome as well for being the newest members of IPMS Phils.-BAC. As already mentioned in this forum and at the IPMS Phils. -BAC message board, Fritz' models were fantastic. Some of us usually stay behind even after everyone has gone home(Guarnere, Liebgott, Webster, Hunter Buck and myself)and we were talking specifically about Fritz and likening ourselves to him. The conclusion, none of us were building that well at 14! So Fritz, the future is bright, so you gotta wear shades
The IPMS Phils.-BAC site has been updated, along with a lot of quality photos care of Albert Labrador, so you might want to check them out. I agree that some of the works of the others should be posted at sites like this one to showcase what Filipino modelers can do. We've been trying for years to break into FSM with very little success. Only Desi's work YEARS AGO was featured in the gallery, and some models by Noli Yamsuan. That's it. Really puzzling.
I hope to see more new faces in future meetings, as it would be nice to see the family grow. And that's what it's all about - a family of modelers. Skill is not a factor. Not everyone is a Buck, Guarnere, Webster, Katze, Bigman and Liebgott. I am living proof that there are "normal" modelers in the club hehehe

Think of it this way, if you're an F1 fan, Team Minardi has an ice cube's chance in hell of winning the championship against the likes of Ferrari, McLaren and BMW. But the fact that they are still running alongside the "supercars" is already something to be proud of.
Hope to see you guys on Sunday
Model on!
