Quarantine Gallery for Spare Parts


IPMS Richmond chapter meetings are a "no-go" through at least May but "Spare Parts" will still be published. As a consequence of no meetings, there will be no images for the multi-page "Show & Tell" gallery.

Please consider photographing your recently completed or in-progress projects and forwarding your images to Mark Elder, the editor of SP, at mark701@comcast.net

Almost all smart phones take decent photos, so please just push the background clutter aside and produce some photos for Spare Parts to replace the usual Show & Tell gallery.  Who knows, you may get the hang of it and consider adding text for a kit review after things get back to normal?

Along with your photo(s), please submit the kit subject, scale, and kit manufacturer. And, of course, you will be credited.

Please send to Mark Elder at mark701@gmail.com . . . deadline is May 4!
