The theme of this year’s Sproo-Doo is “Lucky 13.” Why “Lucky 13?” Well, it is 2013 and this happens to be the 13th annual Sproo-Doo. Given the number “13” is associated with bad luck, we chose to associate it with good luck. Thus, the theme is “Lucky 13.” Do you know why 13 has such an unlucky reputation? On Friday the 13th the King of France, with the support of the Pope, launched an assault on all of the Templar knights in France. On the night of Friday the 13th thousands of knights were captured, arrested, put into prison, tortured, and eventually burned at the stake. Their alleged crime was heresy. Their true crime was they had two much money and land holdings and the King of France wanted it for himself. To qualify for the theme award, either have “13” displayed on your model or display a model that is associated with 13. Some examples might include vehicles built in 1913, vehicles/ figures that became prominent in 2013, 13 models from the same category, or something in which this is the 13th anniversary. The more fun you have with this the better it will be. Enter the “Lucky 13” theme category at the 13th Annual Sproo-Doo Contest on September 13, 2013!

The Scratching Post
The Scratching Post is the newsletter for the Central Arkansas Scale Modelers, the Black Cats, and is written by modelers to promote and expand the modeling hobby. Our goal is to develop an e-zine in which modeling activities in the central Arkansas area are shared but, also, topics germane to the modeling hobby are discussed. We have selected a blog format so that the publication is interactive and can be accessed daily. We desire contributions from modelers all over the world so we can cover topics that are often not covered in other publications. Most of all, we would like the blog to be informative and fun! Please post comments and submit articles for our publication. EditorGot questions/comments/concerns? Shout at me at thescratchingpost.casm@gmail.com Article Submission
