Cristian and André sent a batch of photos of the group's latest meetings at the Styrene Cave. The meeting took place on July 20th, 2010, and judging from the photos, had a great number of atendees. Nestor , Fred, Juliano and Amaral were the newcomers - hope to see you in the next ones, too, guys.

Alberto Raguenet showed some movies about the Spitfire...

...while Nestor teased the crowd about his new book on U-boats. Subject of a coming lecture, stay tuned:

Let's take a look on the finished models of the meeting:

Cristian brought his B&V, Corsair, and Stuka, all in 1/72. It is simply unbelievable how the man has became a good modeler in so little time. Proof that yes we can bring youngsters to the hobby. Check them out:

Blanco showed his Stuka and the new Dragon F-5, both in 1/48:

And Sandro's latest project is the Eduard Fw-190 in 1/48. Judging from the photos, it seems true that he is more and more nitpicker about colors. Looks perfect:

I can only guess that Blanco is already trying to sell his F-5:

Our garage sale set up:

Seems you had a great time boys:

The master and the slave:

And here is Jarbas trying to show to Stuka where her name came from...

And finally, the rooster of flying officers that night. L to R, standing: Jarbas, Sandro, Fred, Amaral, André, Raguenet, Blanco. L to R, seated Cristian, Felipe and Alex (Juliano and Nester had already left):

I'll be with you in the next meeting. Thanks to André and Cristian for the pics...
