Interested in writing an article or taking photos? The CSM Debrief is looking for original info on models, workbench techniques, or Roadside Relics you may see. Send them to the editor for possible publication. The Debrief is available by post or email. It is also posted each month on the CSM club website: www.cincyipms.com and the Yahoo Group website. If you desire to read the Debrief in glorious color, please send an email to the editor (Rob S.) to get onto the email list. Yahoo Group Cincinnati Scale Modelers has a webpage on Yahoo Groups plus our regular website www.cincyipms.com. The group is moderated by Scott Lane ( slane6@cinci.rr.com )and co-moderated by Rob Schorry ( rschorry@cinci.rr.com ). This is a way to communicate without using your home email and might provide another channel for modeling info and tips. You have to join the group to access it. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/cincy_scale_modelers Tri-State Warbird Museum Exhibit Matthew Davis matthewdavis@insightbb.com We will do a change out of models in May or June. We will go with F4U's, AU-1's, and FG-1's. So break out those RN, Kiwi, and Central American decals and start building. Lets change things up and include 1/72 scale. Sorry, but 1/32 is too large. Since the museum has a jeep, let s add WWII era jeeps to the display. Both 1/48 and 1/32 will work for a Jeep. Early in 2011 we will display B-25's and T-6's so plan ahead, please. CSM Website Rebuild The club website www.cincyipms.com escaped from our clutches when the domain name was not renewed. Don Flynn has been working with Steve Stohrrs and Jack Zeleznik and the website has now been brought back into the family and is getting a facelift. CSM Logo Items by Tom Bebout People may want to purchase more things to wear to the with the CSM logo on it. The company we used is EmbroidMe and they carry hats, t-shirts, sweat shirts, jackets, tote bags etc. They are at 11033 Reed Hartman Highway, Cincinnati, Ohio, 45242 ( www.embroidme-cincinnatine.com ) Just walk in, view items in the showroom and tell them you want the CSM logo on it - probably listed under Tom Bebout or CSM. The people in the store are very helpful! Visitors by Rob Schorry Tom Neeson, a railroad modeler, visited our May meeting and brought a scratchbuilt narrow gauge 1/48 scale railroad flat car (see the picture section). He and I had a nice talk about Chopper IIs, digital calipers, and the fun of scratch building. Hope you come back, Tom! 2

Wonderfest 2010 Louisville Some of the CSM gang went to Louisville for Wonderfest 2010 which a friend once described as a Grateful Dead concert mixed up with a model contest and vendor room. Having been there a couple times, I tend to agree with him. Screaming heads at Wonderfest 2010 Daryl Huhtala and Dave Morgan (Can you find them???) See www.cincyipms.com for details! 6
