Sites and tips
Scale Modelling Books by Mike Ashey
Back in the mid-’90s, modeler Mike Ashey wrote a series of articles for some of the major model magazines of the day, which resulted in a series of books to guide hobbyists through both basic and advanced techniques. Mike has posted PDF files of those books on his website and they are available for FREE.

The New Jersey IPMS chapter will be putting on the 28th MosquitoCon show, in Wayne, NJ. The show is always well attended, we had over 500 models entered last year. If you’re interested in further information, the show page is being updated on the website, as new information comes in: http://njipms.org/?page_id=3932
Gulliver’s Gate, in New York City. It’s akin to Minatur Wunderland in Germany. It’s a 1/87th scale diorama museum with a working airport. I worked there for two years and helped build many of the pieces, with most of my work being focused on the 1/87th scale airliners and airport. It’s right in Times Square in Manhattan. https://gulliversgate.com/
There is also one opening in Toronto in 2020.
