The Atlanta Military Figure Society regularly meets on the third Saturday of each month. The BOD has made the decision that the club will be meeting at the Crown Plaza off Powers Ferry Road every 3rd Saturday until further noted.

The monthly meetings begin promptly at 10:00 AM EST and typically last no longer than 2 hours. The meetings feature show-and-tell; news about club events and the modeling community; how-to demonstrations and discussions on modeling techniques; and a sought-after door prize. Afternoons following meetings are available for sessions to work on club and personal modeling projects

Figure modelers of all ages and skill levels are welcome. Everyone attending AMFS meetings enjoys socializing with fellow modelers and frequently gathers afterwards for lunch at a nearby restaurant.

For more information on AMFS meetings, contact a club representative.

 

 

Minutes from November 19th, 2011 Meeting.

 

The Club Meeting 

 

 The November Meeting witnessed a great turnout of 21 enthusiasts. The event got started with a swap meet at 9 AME ST and was a lot of fun as members traded some of their grey army for other members grey army. Just about everyone walked away with a kit or book they had on their wish list.

 

The meeting then focused on an afternoon long how to lead by our own David Oswalt. David took the time to demonstrate how to paint the face, eyes, hair and clothing on a bust which he had primed and mounted for those interested in participating. The How To was widely accepted by all 19 members who attended and ran into the late afternoon. We want to thank David for his time, attention to questions and detail. Everyone came away from the How To knowing how to do an eye, how to outline, how to paint a face, etch. For the young painters in our group it was greatly appreciated and the old hands also appreciated the How To as they were able to polish their skills. This type of "how to" was very successful and will be include in the new 2012 Calendar. Stay tuned in 2012 for more sessions like this one

Show Business

 

Elections for New Officers will take place at the January 21st Meeting. The Board of Directors has proposed that all current officers repeat their roles in 2012. If anyone has a recommendation, contact David Oswalt, Head of the BOD with your nomination before the Jan 21st meeting. David also up for re-election to the BOD as his term will expire in Jan 2012. And Ron Wehrman is moving to Florida and will need to have someone replace him and serve out his term. The BOD recommended that Dave be re-nominated and Dee Moore take over Ron's position.

 

Show Business

  

--- T-Shirts and a special Show Figure

  Show business was minimal with Show Chair Mark McGinnis conducting an informal poll to determine which of the members had received the "Show e-mail". It was also pointed out that 35th Anniversary T-shirts and the Rooster Cogburn bust had been placed on the website. The shirts will be "ice gray" with "charcoal gray" printing. They will feature the first logo ever used by the organization. Cost will be $15 up to size XL, and $17 for anything larger. The cost of the bust is $25. Also noted was the fact that local members could order these items directly rather than through the USPS up until December 1st, 2011.
