"Attention all modelers: Please note that the History Channel premiere of Modern Marvels: Models will take place next week as listed below. As some of you may be aware, IPMS/USA played a part in this program. Several members were interviewed and a number of us provided background information and leads for the writers and producers. The program deals with all types of modeling (including RC), so how much of "our" hobby will actually make it to the screen - but hey, it's a show about models!

on the History Channel at:

Pacific: 10-11PM
Mountain: 8-9pm

We also look at the rage for hobby modeling, with Lionel trains leading the pack, watch models go to war with scale warplanes in WWII, and invade science fiction films. TV G

I will repost this Wednesday evening.
