Dayton Area Plastic
Modelers
 The Dayton
Chapter of the International Plastic Modelers Society is the oldest
continuously functioning
IPMS chapter in the United States, having been
organized in July, 1968 and receiving its charter in September of that year.
Dayton IPMS members are a mixture of military, non-military, college faculty
members, students, retirees, aerospace employees and folks from all walks of
life. One of the founding members and three members from the 1968-’69 roster
are still active in both chapter activities and modeling.
From its inception the chapter has emphasized
teaching modeling skills, with speakers, demonstrations of modeling
techniques, and seminars at each meeting including presentations on the
historical aspects related to our hobby. The chapter has also held a monthly
model contest continuously since 1969 with results culminating in annual
awards in a variety of categories, hosted a multi-state regional and/or
invitational contest yearly for more that 20 years, and hosted the IPMS
National Convention in 1988. Special projects of a
voluntary nature for the
National Museum of the United States Air Force and other
locations are done from time to time. The club holds Make And Take functions
with local youth organizations and supplies volunteers for Dayton PBS fund
raising drives. Everyone and anyone interested participating in an Equal
Opportunity model building organization run by and for model builders is
welcome.

We meet at 3 PM on the third
