About the club

We are a group of people who enjoy the hobby of plastic model building. Our members interests range from Aircraft, Automobiles, Ships, Figures, Armour, to Sci Fi. We have all skill levels from beginners to some pretty talented modellers, but we mainly meet to share our work, ideas, tips and techniques, and talk about modelling in general.

IPMS St. John's 2023 Plastic Model Show and Competition

 
IPMS St. John’s is pleased to announce that we will be bringing back our Model Show and Competition this year!

After 3 years we will once again be providing an opportunity for modelling enthusiasts in the area to gather to see a display of kits, as well as offer up some of their own work in a competition for prizes.

The always popular Swap Table will be open to buy or sell previously loved kits.

We will be providing more details as we get closer to the date; but for now, please make note of the date, time and place.

See you there!!
