Stained Glass by Chuck Diljak
As a teenager, Chuck built an AHM church kit that had paper inserts or the stained glass. He liked the idea of stained glass to introduce some color to his layout, but the results were less than satisfactory. Years later, Chuck brought a new church kit that he wanted to spice up with stained glass. But, he was uncertain how to accomplish it after his previous failure. While doing some research on modeling stained glass, he fell back on the memory of something else he had done in the past. Chuck’s clinic will talk about the different methods he found and how he successfully model stained glass in his new kit.
Operations Primer by Joe Calderone
Joe will present a lighthearted and informative look at an interesting aspect of the hobby. Joe will share what you need and how to get going with operations. Find out how to get more from your layout no matter how small or how big a pike you may have. Practical examples and ideas will be presented.
