We want to be clear — the show is absolutely still happening.

Same Event. Same Energy.
Same Great Show you’ve come to expect.

We know many of you plan builds, travel, and vendor participation well in advance, and we truly appreciate your flexibility as we work through this unexpected change.

We are temporarily pausing new vendor table bookings and sponsorship confirmations for a short period while we reconnect with our current vendors to ensure availability for the new date. We’ll provide an update shortly once that process is complete.

This past Tuesday night’s Peel Scale Modelers April meeting featured our annual club contest, with this year’s theme: “Anything in Red.”

It was a strong turnout, with many members re-emerging after a stretch of cold, unpredictable weather. The room was full, conversations were flowing, and the energy was exactly what you want to see at a club night !

We also welcomed 5 visitors and held a raffle for two kits—always a great addition to the evening.

Contest Results:
🥉 3rd Place – Doug McLarty
🥈 2nd Place – Jeremy Kennedy
🥇 1st Place – Mike Sisko

*see pics of the winners tagged at the end of the photos.
*also - see pics of member's recent builds.

Be sure to check out the winning builds tagged in the photos. Also take a look at the non-contest models brought in by members—there was some excellent work on display across the tables.

Congratulations to everyone who participated—and great to see the meeting buzzing!

The members of Peel Scale Modelers braved last night‘s cold to attend the January meeting, and what a meeting it was!

We had free giveaways, which included photos, prints, books, prebuilt models, paints and glues!

We had a draw of a Tamyia armour kit that one of our newest younger members won. Congratulations!

We had an excellent presentation by Dave - Dave Trimmer of IPMS Hamilton on Scale Modelling Tools, which was excellent!

Dave brought our attention to tools we didn’t know about and some that we were aware of, but perhaps had not known the benefits of OR found new uses for.

Well done and thanks, Dave!!

Our February meeting will be an annual Build Night, so bring out what you’re working on and join us to build at our next meeting!!

All are welcome to join us!

See you next month!
