Chapter Bio
Wings & Wheels is non-profit organization maintained for the benefit of its members and to promote modeling in all its forms. The club is an IPMS–affiliated regional club serving Western New England and is open to anyone with an interest in modeling, regardless of age, gender, subject matter or materials used.
Wings & Wheels Modelers was formed in 1990 and affiliated with IPMS in 1993. The club is a diverse group, with more than 50 members who cover every aspect of modeling subjects, including: aircraft, armor, automotive, ships, sci-fi, figures, and other modeling interests.
The main purpose of the club is to come together to have fun and enjoy modeling. This is done by participating in monthly meetings, circulating modeling news of interest to members, sharing tips and techniques, displaying finished work and work in progress, hosting our annual contest and other events, traveling to events of other clubs together and general good fellowship.
The club supports other modeling clubs’ events in our region, IPMS events, and the development of modeling interest and skills in children under 16 years old. We hold one annual contest, ValleyCon, and sponsor displays, trips and other club events from time to time. Monthly meetings are informal and open to non-members.
