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.
Meetings are on the first
Wednesday of the month at the First Congregational
Church in West Springfield (no affiliation) starting
at 7:00 PM. Meetings are open to everyone. Please
join us!
The club sponsors ValleyCon, our annual contest in
Chicopee, MA and a display at the New England Air
Museum, Bradley Airport, Connecticut in January.
Mission Statement
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. The club
is open to anyone with an interest in modeling,
regardless of age, gender, subject matter or
materials used. 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. The club has a monthly
newsletter, posted here, but is moving to
communicating with members by email and this
website.
