San Fransico Area modelers? Sites?

Be sure to check out Franciscan Hobbies, as they have a lot of ship stuff. San Antonio Hobbies down in Mountain View is worth a trip too, as they have a lot of reference materials, and it is just one big hobby store.

If you look on a map (northwest corner) you will find Land's end, where the bridge wings of the USS San Francisco (CA-38) are preserved as a memorial.

On Sunday's in Golden Gate Park, you will often find folks running model ships at Spreckels Lake (36th and Fulton)

Go to the warf area - near pier 41 and you can visit the USS Pampanito (WWII fleet boat) and the Jerimia Obrion (sp). There may be some other stuff there too.
