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.
Mission Statement
Wings & Wheels is a club 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.
