Gravesham Military Modelling Society ?

[RobF]

Hi Guys

I think I have hit a skill brick wall and after visiting Euro Militaire I have realised I am going to need some help to improve

I saw on here I just missed a show at Gravesham which is a bit annoying as I am now newly moved back to the Maidstone area

Anyway on to my question

Does anyone know of a contact for the club and when the next meeting is ?

TIA

... Rob

Hi Rob,

I'm a member of the club, and what a great bunch of lads, lassies (and little 'uns) they are. Shame you missed the show, it was a real corker.

The next club meet is on Saturday 20th of November 2-5pm at Chalk parish hall. After that there's the Christmas buffet and quiz on Saturday 18th of December, 2-5pm.

If you 'Google maps' the postcode DA12 2ND you'll find the hall. Probably the easiest way from Maidstone is to drive to the top of Bluebell Hill and join the M2, come off at jct 1 near Cobham and follow the A289 until you see the turn off for Gravesend, follow this until you see the sign for Chalk. Failing that give us a shout, I'm only up the road in Rochester: It'd be no problem to pop down to Maidstone and give you a lift (I work in Maidstone and know nearly every road).

Cheers,
Jon.

Hi Jon

Thanks for the reply and thanks for the generous offer of a lift - If the car keeps going then I will be able to get myself there but I really appreciate the offer.

How do the club meetings usually go - I have just bought my first oils and had a quick fiddle but REALLY need to get someone to show me what to do with them - I really have no idea.

I will bring along the best thing I have painted so far in acrylics and while I know people are producing some fantastic work in the medium I feel like I have hit a brick wall and am hoping that oils can give the the look and feel I am after
