Our group was established in 2015 which includes a diverse membership of modelers of varied experience and interest. One will find both kit building enthusiasts as well as scratch builders of some notoriety. No matter the experience level or subject interest we pride ourselves in sharing our knowledge and techniques with others. Our knowledge base has expanded through engagement of subject matter experts in all aspects of modeling. We do so through our meeting agendas and workshops. Since 2019, through the use of internet streaming tools, we have greatly enhanced our learning by interacting with other modeling groups in the US and Canada. We welcome new members regardless of experience level or interest. We meet monthly both in person and remotely on the 3rd Thursday of the month. The in person sessions are currently being held at Continual Care Solutions Office in Pittsford NY. Please check our web site for in person meeting location.
