My Builds

My Build is your opportunity to show your model, the prototype that inspires your work, the process, tools and techniques you use, and/or it’s an opportunity to get feedback and questions answered.  

A modeler should submit 1-5 photos or Powerpoint slides and plan for around 5 minutes to talk to their work and allow for discussion from meetup participants.  Submit your work to Chris at railrunner130@hotmail.com at least a day or two ahead of the meetup, but sooner is better!

 The next My Build Segment is scheduled for the Wednesday September 22, 2021 New Tracks Meetup
