The May 2022 issue of Spare Parts is available under the Spare Parts tab above or by clicking here. Can you identify the "Bonus" page? Alex Valz and E.L. Motley return with a kit review and "History Behind the Models", respectively. Young award winning member, Travis Johnson, does a brief but very well illustrated kit review of his 2022 ODO winner: Tamiya 1/12 Renault Williams FW14B. Armor, cutting edge Cold War jets, Gundam, Formula One, Real Space, World War II winter and desert warriors--the May Spare Parts has it all! Thanks to all that contributed to this month's issue.

This Monday's chapter meeting will be a special Build Night, so bring a model (or models) to work on. If you bring your own lighting, remember you'll need to provide an extension cord. If painting, please provide some cover for your table.

There will be Show & Tell, so don't forget to register your brag items on the provided form. After presenting your subject(s), please move them to the photo station to be recorded. Mike's hosting his big Prize Drawing, so bring some dough for tickets. And there may be a complete 2022 NOVA Show report...

ODO 2022: Missing Model

The following model was inadvertently removed from last Saturday's ODO in Richmond, VA. It's a 1/72 scale FW-190. If you know of its whereabouts please notify us at ipmsrichmond@gmail.com so we can return it to its rightful owner. Thank you.

2022 ODO Results and Photos of Class Winners

Thanks to everyone who worked so hard to make this year's ODO a success! Without your work both on the day of the show and, for many, the year before, we would not have been able to provide modelers with the experience that is uniquely the ODO. And thanks, too, to all the vendors and attendees for once again making the trek to the Richmond Raceway.

Contest results and other pertinent ODO information can be accessed by clicking here.

Following are photos of the class winners. Several people contributed photos... thanks to all of you!
