After my earlier crabbing about nothing ever coming to the Northeast (at least anything that was brought to my attention), I got a flier from on base here announcing a convention for Maine.

IPMS Southern Maine Scale Modelers

I have more details if anyone needs them or is even up here to partake. I have to finish my snowed in Sherman so I can enter it. ($4.00 for 1st 5 models entered)

Lucas,
I think Rob (Sabot) was telling me about something in Mass too in the next few months. I will put up events announcements on both of those when I have his info.

Thanks Jim,

That would be appreciated. Hobby shops are few and far between up here and even NAS Brunswick has no hobby shop. Mostly what I get is word-of-mouth, until I saw this flier in my NEX. Completely unlike when I was stationed in Jacksonville and there was a hobby store about every 30 feet (or at least that's how it felt coming from Maine).

Will be standing by for any updates.
