Boston area modeler

Well, if you check out their links, there will be information about local hobby shops, museums and other points of modeling interest.

The Boston area is the best one for modeling in all the regions of the US I have lived. So many clubs and shows in a very short drive. I used to belong to the IPMS Patriot club. It is meeting this week and depending on where you are staying, probably about a 30 minute drive.

Thanks ajlafleche

Spare times shop seems to be promising because I see the kit I am looking for in one of the store pictures. I hope it is still there.

I would have love to visit your club on Thursday but 1.5 hours is a little bit too far. It would have been interesting to see how other clubs works. I am the V.P. of a club in the Montreal area www.modelistesrivenord.webs.com

Maybe next time. I come here 3 to 4 times a year for my work.
