NEWS - Jerseyfest Academy 2014 !

Hey guys:

The 2014 Jerseyfest Model Kit & Statue Fair will kick off with “Jerseyfest Academy” all day classes on the Friday before the vendor show (i.e., August 1st). The Academy will feature expert instruction on painting, sculpting and constructing both figure and vehicle model kits by elite artists.

We are proud to once again host another “Figure Airbrush Asylum” class presented by Black Heart Enterprises and Badger Airbrush Company, which are always phenomenal !! Plus, a "Garage Kits US Paintfest" all day class has been added to the lineup! As many of you know, their past classes have been superb and we are lucky to have them. Both groups will be announcing more details including registration info in the coming months - so stay tuned.

And....we are thrilled to announce that the incredibly talented Gabe Perna will be doing an all day "hands on" class on sculpting a Batman!

On the hardware side, we will also have an advanced class on scratch building vehicle models lead by one of the very best and respected garage kit creators of resin, studio scale, sci-fi models from franchises like Star Wars, Battlestar Galactica, etc.

For the icing on the cake, in another room we will have a vehicle painting class lead by one of the greatest Ma.K painters in the world who recently placed “first place” in Japan in an elite Ma.K contest that was judged by none other than Kow Yokoyama, creator of the Maschinen Krieger (Ma.K) genre.

Much more to come ! Our Jerseyfest Academy web page is here: http://jerseyfestfair.com/?page_id=3128

Hey guys:

Registrations have begun for the new Moebius Models "Advanced Weathering & Painting of Vehicle Models" class at the 2014 Jerseyfest Academy.

This all day, “hands on” class will cover various advanced techniques for painting and weathering a vehicle model, with the subject being a Moebius Models Viper Mk 2 Model Kit from Battlestar Galactica. However, the methods to be learned will apply to any vehicle or mechs model. The class is designed to appeal to all levels of hobbyists (pro, novice or beginner). It will be held from 9:30AM to 4:00PM at the Hanover Marriott Hotel on Friday, August 1st, 2014, which is the day before the weekend long vendor show. It will focus on “unique techniques” for hand painting with acrylic paints thinned with lacquer thinner and weathering techniques using enamel washes and stains.

Each attendee will receive a fully prepared, built and primed Moebius Viper Mk 2 Model Kit to paint during the class and take home with them. They also will receive all the paints and supplies needed to paint the Viper during the class.

The class instructor will be Kevin Derken, who is one of the greatest Maschinen Krieger (Ma.K) painters in the world. Kevin is a classically trained artist turned model maker and painter. His unique style has been published in Hobby Japan and Model Graphix and has graced the cover of “The Weathering Magazine”. Kevin shows his work at fine art galleries and has won multiple awards at model shows around the world, including winning the “KOW YOKOYAMA AWARD” (Best in Show – judged by Kow himself) at the Maschinen Krieger Showcase 9 in Tokyo, Japan in November of 2013. His blog A1-plastik.com is updated with his work almost daily.

Attendees must register for this class in advance and seats are limited.
