This year’s NAME Day event is ”The Dream Craft Room”, starting with the crafting table. Plans for the craft table have been provided in 1”, ½” and ¼” in the NAME Gazette. Some cutters will produce kits for 1/144” scale. Cutters have been encouraged to develop accessories to go on or in the storage areas of the crafting table. This will be a two year project, with a storage unit (including a sink) to be the second part of the series in 2020.

Please see below for various event dates.

To participate in NAME Day, you must be a NAME member, or become a member. Please contact one of the N2 region members who are hosting an event (below). If you are unable to attend a local event, you may purchase a kit from Barbara Thornton-Hill or other cutters.
