Ian Plett shows how to install DCC in an Athearn locomotive. It's not as easy as it looks!
Six of Winnipeg's best model railroaders were on hand at the WMRC's meeting on December 11 to share their skills at the club's annual Klinic Karnival. Ian Plett demonstrated how to install DCC in an Athearn locomotive. WMRC Program Director Morgan Turney showed how to make realistic trees out of common plants and weeds.
Ron Einarson showed off his exceptional talents of modelling with wood, Aaron Woloshyn held a clinic on making hydro poles, and Richard Mikolayenko showed how to scratchbuild styrene models using photo references. Virginia Braun held a clinic on building station kits. She gave some great modelling hints on how to model realistic looking stucco using Elmer's Glue, toilet paper, and an egg beater!
And it was hot dog night! Every December, the club holds their "Christmas banquet" of hot dogs, chips and pop at their monthly meeting. Much thanks to our canteen staff - Jean and Godfrey South, and their children, Frances and Tommy, for cooking and serving up such a great meal!
Richard Mikolayenko shows the photo references he uses for modelling structures.
Aaron Woloshyn uses a few basic tools to make realistic hydro poles.
Virginia Braun has a truly remarkable talent for building miniature structures!
With just a pinch of this, a dash of that, Morgan Turney has made another great looking tree!
That was fun
ReplyDeleteIt certainly was, Ian! And thanks so much for your participation! You held a great clinic!
