Modeling group at JSB Balad, Iraq?

[BigGary]

Is there a model club of any kind at JSB Balad, Iraq? I'm going there for a year and would like to know if there is a model club on base. I was in a club in VA and really enjoyed it.

Anybody know anything, even 2 or 3 year old info?

I started a model club with the generous support of many contributors during my tour in '05-'06. Read something recently that the club is still going strong (believe the source was a letter to the editor of a model mag... sorry I don't remember specifics). It originally operated out of the CSC clinic but I moved it to the rec center in 06 before redeploying and I believe it still operates there. When I left, there was an ample supply of kits, paints, tools airbrush and compressor. Hope this helps. Good luck on your tour and thanks for your service.
