 The Sanford Cup Competition Returns! Our August in-person meeting brings the return of the Sanford Cup competition after a five year hiatus. This award, inspired by the late Al Sanford’s excellence in modeling and good sense of humor, is presented to the NENY member whose work is voted to be the best model exhibited at the chapter’s August meeting each year. The winner will take the cup home for the year and return it to the site of the next year’s August meeting. It's a friendly competition (as friendly as possible when modelers compete for anything) and an opportunity to put forward your best model of the recent past and enjoy good fellowship. We hope you'll participate next year! Here's a PDF of the rules.  Contest Results Everyone who entered a model also qualified for, and received, a nifty commemorative coaster that was designed and 3D printed by our very own member, Jason Mantor. A huge thank you to Jason for his excellent work on this! 14 worthy entries vied for the honors this year with a close run result requiring a tie-breaking second round of voting. Brian Fowler's 1/32 Tamiya A6M2 Zero (entry #6) edged out Paul Dupree's build of the ancient box-scale Revell Pine Island seaplane tender (entry #9) by one vote! Here's a gallery of the entries and winner. Show and Tell Several members displayed models not entered in competition for show and tell. Here are a few photos of the meeting and show and tell models.
