History in the Making
Info on Romsey Modellers Model Club
The latest edition of the clubs magazine The Romsey Modeller is now available for download at June/ July
The guys from The Basement are coming to Ampfield Village Hall to demonstrate their figure painting techniques on Sunday July 29th. The event will be free ; all we ask is that a donation to Pat’s chosen charity which is The Marie Curie Cancer Trust, any donations will be gratefully received no matter how small.
We have received the itinerary from Kevin, also an email saying that they are all going to donate their fuel payment to the charity that we are supporting. This is extremely generous of them as it means they are coming down from the Bath area and giving their time completely free of charge, and we hope we can repay their kindness by making sure that plenty of us attend the day.

Those attending should bring their own paints and brushes etc, a figure to paint, or selection of figures, these ideally should be 1/35th or larger, and a lamp if they require one.
The basement guys will have a selection of busts for sale if anyone wishes to buy them, they can be viewed on their website.
For lunch we suggests is that participants bring something to share as we do for the xmas meeting.
This is an opportunity not to be missed, a chance to learn from guys who are masters of their art and who, having spent a weekend with them last year, are also good company.
So come along and support them, the club, the charity and learn how to paint figures, I guarantee you will learn something that will improve your modelling.
