Great meeting (even though he weather was pretty cold and wet!).  Check out what
happened when an army of Mechs and outlaws attacks a terraforming colony on the
JR-376.

April 2002 Jamie's House

This meeting was pretty much spent working on the Club Diorama for the 2002

Construction" photos.

March 2002 Jamie's House

We spent a fair amount of this meeting working on our diorama for the 2002 Convention.
In the process, we did find time to setup a diorama (heck - it is the weekend - time for the
1:6 Wekend Warriors to have their get together too!)

January 2002 Greg's House

We met at Greg's house around noon and left about 6:30!  Wow!  What a great time
we all had and a LOT of people showed up with some very cool stuff.

Steve brought some of the new Hot Toys and Dragon offerings (2 82nd Airborne figures
and the new Lee Marvin figure.  Wow does Lee look great!)

Brian brought the M-8 and Howitzer (heh - it really DOES tow it.)

Scott brought some of his GREAT custom creations (see link.)

September 2001 Brian's House

We met at Brian's house around 11:00 and broke up about 7:30.  One of the main
topics of conversation was - of course - the 9-11 horror.  That is probably why this
meeting ran a bit long.

We started rthe meeting out looking at Brian's collection - it had grown a bit since the
last meeting at his house.  We then talked about some of the upcoming releases and
some of the different projects we were each working on.  The next phase was the usual
swap meet - Steve brought a German Pak almost completed to show during the swap
meet - wow!  A great looking piece and it wasn't even done!

Finally, we ended with a European Theatre diorama with Matthew supplying the
great burned out buildings.  

June 2001 Jamie's House

We met at Jamie'shouse and got a chance to see his wonderful vintage collection.  
Always brings back memories to see the sets we had as kids!

We had some new members from Maryland and a surprise guest: Gladys Reed
was up visting her sister so she brought her sister on by!  Always great to see one
of the respected members of the Sandbox!

Take a look at the pictures form this meeting ... we did a vintage Adventure Team
movie.  And boy is it a blast from the past!  Remember .... The Creature From The
Black Lagoon?  Well, we did!

March 2001 Claude's House.

We met at Claude's house for theMarch meeting.  Mostly, we talked about
some of the newer figures coming out this year and who was going to attend
some of the upcoming shows (New York City in June.)

Jamie brought the New GI Joe Collector Club AT figure - wow!  That
brought back a lot of memories for all of us!

Jamie and Steve brought the new Sgt Rock collectible.  Very impressive,
but the price tag is still something that gives one reason to pause.

October 2000 Matthew's House

Matthew does wargaming - but not like you have ever seen it!  He ported his
hobby to the 1:6 scale world and boy did we have fun testing out his
concept!  

Check out the pictures of the attack on a European Vineyard!

September 2000 Brian's House

The get together this time had a police/SWAT theme.

Check out the pictures and see who is making a guest appearance!
