IPMS Richmond Helps Ronald McDonald House

A local RVA restaurant, Lunch and Supper, in Scott's Addition, holds an annual PIG auction of painted concrete pigs for the benefit of Ronald McDonald House. This year IPMS Richmond entered the auction with our WWII USAAF FLYING PIG modelled and painted by Mike Lyons, our president. Through his work and our club's donation to purchase the concrete pig, IPMS Richmond helped raise $950 for the charity!

2019 Group Build

The IPMS Group Build for 2019 will be "Mustangs." There are only a few rules:

• Your model must be started and completed in 2019.
• If it is a plane, it must be 1/48 scale.
• If it is an auto, it must be 1/24 - 1/25 scale.
• If it's a horse, scale is whatever it is :)

We'd like EVERYONE to build something. We are more interested in the number of modelers than in the number of models. This build is open to anyone who wishes to join in, member or non-member of IPMS Richmond.

There is no plan for a display, although it might be nice to see them all at our Christmas dinner meeting.
