Ive been modeling many years, and exited to start discussing things about fsm and hoping to learn so much as well. I love rocketry (as you may have notised by my name) but also love aircraft, automobiles, science fiction displays and even subs, boats and tanks. Plastic and kitbuilding is fun.
I don’t know where you are in Massachussetts, but you might want to look up the Wings & Wheels IPMS club, in Springfield. Here’s their website, in case you’ve never heard of them: http://www.wwmodelclub.org/
