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 ( [email protected] )and
co-moderated by Rob Schorry ( [email protected] ). 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
[email protected]
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!

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. ☺

As in past years our July meeting will be a picnic. Sharon Woods Park on US 42 in Sharonville will
be the place.
We’ll be able to grill food, sit in the shade, throw horseshoes, and play bocce ball – and chat of
course. More details will be coming soon, but please put July 11th on your calendar as the date for the
event.
Donna Parker has graciously accepted the position of chief-vittles organizer and she will be keeping
