So where I live in Saratoga tends to be a bit sparse for modelers...couple hobby shops that speciaize in other things than modelling. After entering a not so local show, I decided after almost 20 years of going solo to branch out and meet others.
AMPS has an informal Albany chapter and so I got in contact with Dan Egan who I believe Sail introduced me to at Nationals years ago. Ended up just meeting at his house Wednesday and sat on his back deck building.
Last night, went to the IPMS Albany chapter meeting and met loads of guys. The group is run by an Art Loder who seems to be quite a knowledgeable chap. Learned that the Albany chapter was actually founded by a certain Steven Zaloga who talks to Art often...I imagine there's all sorts of stories there. We showed some pieces we have done and just talked models...it was pretty cool. I was a bit overwhelmed so I neglected to take a Rhino-esqe photo record of the events but will do so in the future!
