My Models My Focke-Wulf TA-183 I also build GASP ! plastic scale models ! Here's a shot of my AMTech Focke-wulf TA-183 "Huckebein" at the Seattle IPMS (International Plastic Modelers Society) Spring show, March 9th, 2002. Clubs IPMS - Seattle Chapter The Seattle Chapter of the International Plastic Modelers Society is one of the oldest, biggest, and most talented groups of plastic modelers in the country. Meetings never fail to draw 60-plus members, at least three kit venders, and great looking models. Several very large contests sponsored each year. Monthly meetings usually run about 2 hours. THERE IS A NEW MEETING LOCATION! North Bellevue Community/Senior Center 4063 - 148th Ave. NE Bellevue, WA Directions: From Interstate-5 or Interstate-405, take 520 East to the 148th Ave. NE exit. Take the North exit on 148th Ave (the second of the two 148th Ave. exits) and continue north on 148th until you reach the Senior Center. The Senior Center will be on your left. The Center itself is not easily visible from the road, but there is a signpost in the median. Seattle IPMS membership is $24/year, and includes a monthly newsletter full of kit reviews, articles, editorials, contest info, meeting dates, and other good stuff. See their web site for more information, or contact: (425) 774-6343 IPMS - Seattle Chapter web site Northwest Scale Modelers A much less formal club than IPMS-Seattle, but with lots of membership cross-over. Meetings first Thursday of the Month from 7pm to 9pm in the Boeing Museum of Flight. NSM sponsors several contests also. For information, contact: (425) 257-3284 Hobby Shops Aviation Usk (AV-USK) The most comprehensive aircraft specialty kit, decal, accessory, and reference book supplier in existence. AV-USK is a mail-order/telephone/fax order business specializing in hard-to-find plastic, resin, and vacuum-form aircraft kits, accessories, books, reference books, and more books on aircraft and aviation history - a lot of the stuff you will NEVER SEE ANYWHERE ELSE! You've got to see their catalog to believe it. Service is slow because they deal with small, sometimes foreign, and always VERY independent suppliers (lots of the small kit and accessories suppliers do small, infrequent production runs), but nobody else can get the stuff these guys do on a regular basis, especially from foreign countries. THEY EVEN PRODUCE THEIR OWN KITS, BOOKS, and DECALS! Their annual catalog is 100 pages of the coolest plastic modeling stuff on the planet! Send $5.00 for the biggest plastic scale aircraft modeling catalog wish list you will ever see in your life to: |
