The May Tacoma clinic was held on May 10 at the Parkland  Paradise Lanes.

What’s New at The Hobby Shop  was presented by Rob, owner of Robs Trains and Hobbies, who presented several new  N, H.O, and O scale care and structure kits.

This months’ clinic topic was “Fleet Weathering – easy, time saving techniques for large rolling stock fleets,”  presented by clinic chairman Kevin Klettke. Using an eclectic mix of  Acrylic paint, artist pastel chalks, weathering powders, earth tone artist oil paints, and Krylon and Rust-Oleum rattle-can sprays, Kevin demonstrated how he represented rusted scratches and dings, dirty, rusty roofs and underframes, and overall “grunginess.”
