March Model of the Month

Fabrizio Fae's Fiat 643N  Ladder Truck was voted SABA Model of the Month for March 2012.  The major portion of the Fiat was built using Fabrizio's favorite media, an Overnight Postal envelope.

The inspiration for the build was the Ladder Truck that Fabrizio's father worked on as a Firefighter in Italy when Fabrizio was a young man.

As we've all come to expect from Fabrizio, another amazing build.

'51 Chevy Challenge Build

The '51 Chevy Challenge Build came to a conclusion March 18th with Gene Winfield picking the winner at the Bob Paeth Portland Classic Model Car Contest at the Portland Roadster Show. The winning build was that of Larry Tobkin, which was somewhat coincidental as it was Larry who suggested the Challenge.

SABA Model Builder of the Year

 At the monthly meetings SABA members bring their Works in Progress and Completed Builds.  The members vote on the Completed Builds, which is how we come up with our Model of the Month.  At year end, the total points from the Model of the Month voting and the member with the highest number of points is the SABA Model Builder of the Year.

The SABA member with the most point for 2011 is Fabrizio Fae.  

Fabrizio is without one of the most unique builders in the club.  Fabrizio builds using everything from plastic, wood, metal and his favorite, the Overnight Mailing envelope.

Congratulations Fabrizio.
