2026 Friday Night Project

We like to jump into working on minis as soon as we get to the retreat! This year's project is titled "Time to Relax" and fits right in with our cozy theme. It is also the NAME Day project this year. It's a little space just for one to relax that comes in 1", 1/2" or 1/4" scales. 

NAME Day is an annual event organized by the National Association of Miniature Enthusiasts (our club's parent organization). In October, clubs around the world work on the same project and this is the one designed for 2026. Dia is cutting a special version for our retreat but here are a few pictures of prototypes from the committee.

Do you already have a NAME Day project kit? Bring it along and build/finish it with us!

Have you let your NAME membership lapse or have never been a member? This is a wonderful volunteer-run organization with projects, conventions, and many special in-person and online miniature events. You must be a NAME member to participate in the FNP so non-members will have a digital membership of $30 added to their cost or go to miniatures.org to sign up. The digital membership is $30 and gives access to the whole archive of Miniature Gazettes as well as so many free projects. It is well worth it! See miniatures.org for details.
