Welcome to the IPMS South Somerset club's website.
Here you will find out what the So-So modellers have been up to, some useful links and tips and a few photos to get your creative juices flowing.
Check out the TIPS page for an article by one of our founding memebers on how to make you own decals.
We are now meeting at the Speedwell in Crewkerne. See diary page for details.
The club has recently revamped its display gear, and the recent outing at the North Somerset show at the helicopter museum in Weston was the first time all the elements had come together.

Note to Parents
(and Grandparents)
Scale modelling will get your children involved in a fascinating, highly creative and skilful hobby: they’ll spend time in an environment free of computers, TVs and mobile phones!
They’ll learn to focus on tasks, take advice, rise to challenges, develop pride in their new skills and interact positively with people of all ages.
Whilst we very much welcome young people, we respectfully ask that members aged between 12 and 16 are accompanied by a responsible adult
