July 2005: SSG Turner brought by a 1/35th Panther and a 1/48th MIG that he has built here at Bagram. We also wanted to send a thank you
to the Twin City Aero Historians, an IPMS chapter in Minnesota.
They recently sent a great box of hobby supplies including a couple of
books I wish I had before I started building kits. Thanks, MAJ Bryan

Our club is now up to 50 members and we are growing. Unfortunately, due to conflicting work schedules, not everyone can make it each week. We had 29 show this week, of which a few left before we took the photo. |

The tall gentleman
centermast in the back of the group in the picture above is Mr. Chuck Younglove, the head of
MWR. He has been instrumental in getting us the building where we
currently meet and he recently was able to acquire a separate building for
us to use. This new building will be set up with individual work stations,
five airbrush stations, and will be open 7 nights a week and manned by
myself and a couple of other volunteers during the evening hours. |

To date, we have received approximately 275 models and have given out over
150 of them! We have also received dozens of tools, paints, magazines and
books that the members can check out a week at a time.
We have confirmed donations from Minicraft,
MRC/Academy, Revell-Monogram, Cobra Company, and Squadron Mail Order. Some
of these were organized through IPMS-USA 1st Vice President John Noack and the rest
of the IPMS-USA gang. The Las Vegas IPMS chapter went above and beyond the
call with a huge monetary donation in the way of providing us with a
credit at Squadron! Squadron's donation was an amount equal to the LV
chapters and will provide the BHC members with an opportunity to purchase
those supplies, kits, etc., they want that don't get donated. From all of us in the Bagram Hobby Club.....THANK YOU!! Semper Fidelis, Contact information is on the Supporting The Troops page.
