Brooklyn Plastic Modelers Society
Organization
In 1971 a group of guys from a local hobby shop decided to start meeting together for their shared interest in models. By May 1973 they were more formally known as THE BROOKLYN PLASTIC MODELERS SOCIETY.
The Brooklyn Plastic Modelers Society is one of the oldest local chapters of the International Plastic Modelers Society and resides in Kings County (Brooklyn), New York. Since it's inception they've been bringing a diverse group of modelers with varied tastes together for monthly gathering to discuss the hobby and display our latest works.
Some notable moments in BPMS history include their involvement in bringing the Aircraft Carrier INTREPID to NYC as well as many displays on-board over the years; in October of 1975 they hosted the Big Apple Con and Noreastcon 6 in May, 1977; as well as displays for many events and make-and-takes over the years.
They've also been supporters of Speicher Model Group overseas as well as Wounded Warriors closer to home.
They currently reside in the Bergen Beach Sports Complex and meet on the third friday of each month.
