We are always looking for new members including juniors to join us at our meetings. So if you have an interest in military subjects but cannot afford a 1:1 scale version then develop your skills in scale modelling in 1: many scales of your favorite military subjects and learn from a range of master builders at our meetings.
Dont do military, thats OK too as we accomodate Sci Fi, car and truck, figures and a range of other scale modellers as well. You can discuss your models on our facebook page.
