Going Strong
Even after 30 years
We are in the Golden Age of modelling
Always Recruiting
The aim of the club is to encourage and promote the popular pastime of scale modelling, which is as popular as ever and currently going through something of a ‘golden age’.
We’re always looking to recruit new members so if you’re just a beginner or an experienced modeller, or just a lonely modeller, please come along to one of our meetings and check us out; we would love to meet you. We can’t promise to solve your relationship issues but you can at least come and talk to like-minded individuals who are also self-confessed plastic crack addicts!
Even though we do function as a branch of IPMS(UK) we always welcome non IPMS members. There won’t be any pressure to become a member but we will obviously explain the benefits of joining IPMS. These are wide-ranging and include a bi-monthly magazine and free entry into Scale ModelWorld held yearly at Telford; to name just two.
Home to multiple SiGs
Always displaying
We regularly exhibit at many model shows in the local area, even venturing as far afield as Hinckley and Milton Keynes. We have even managed to make the trip north of the border to attend Scale Scotland and returned unscathed, as well as paying a visit to E-day in Prague. Always present at the annual ‘Scale Model World’ at Telford, our impressive and varied display always draws praise from visitors, the modelling press and fellow IPMS branches alike. Head over to the gallery to check out some of amazing masterpieces.
The club is home to a multitude of modelling styles and interests, and has spawned a number of ‘Special Interest Groups’ (SiGs) whose leaders are part of the club. These cover such interests as the Israeli Defence Force (IDF), UK & Commonwealth Armed Forces (UKCAF), Tornado SIG (The jet not the highly destructive natural phenomena!), The Leopard SiG (The German tank, not the big spotted cat!), the Star Wars SiG (formed not so long ago in a galaxy far far away), The Gerry Anderson SiG (membership comes with no strings attached) and the newly formed Tomcat SiG (The US Fighter jet, not next doors pussy!). We are also ‘friends’ with the Luftwaffe SiG and the Lightning SiG (The jet not the big sparky thing in the sky!).
