As some of you may have read in one my replies to another post, I was trying to find a contact and address for the Baghdad Hobby Club. It is running out ofone of the US Recreation centers there and is set up for soldiers to get away from the action for a while and relax. They operate mostly off of donations from individuals and model companies. I found the address and POC and got an email back from the POC, SGT Flyte. He says they are still going strong. I plan on sending them some modesl I no longer plan on building. If anyone is interrested in doing the same, here is the address:

I am sure they will be glad to recieve anything you care to donate. Maybe we can do a Fine Scale Modeler drive and see how much we can send them.
Thanks for the info Arty My best friend is in the Marines and is over there now, I already got a few kits picked out .
Very interesting information.
Do they also have online internet access? If so they should start their own Forums Topic here and post pics. That would definately generate more interest in their club, as well as their existance.

Internet options can be a dicey proposition here. Some of us are graced (me for instance) and need the computer and the internet connection to do our jobs. Others of us end up paying to use the internet at internet cafe’s on camp where the prices can sometimes be a little stiff. It all depends on which camp you are at as well. Often times when I am paying to use a computer I usually just email my loved ones and that is it. Not to mention that some of the lines can be quite long to use a puter.
