Who we are
America's first chapter. A community that keeps building.
IPMS Seattle is the Seattle chapter of the International Plastic Modelers Society—and was the first IPMS chapter established in the United States, tying with a chapter in Texas for that distinction.
Members gather once a month to show finished models and works in progress, exchange ideas, teach techniques, and learn from one another. The aim is simple: become better builders and help others do the same.

Bring a completed model, a difficult work in progress, a newly discovered technique—or simply your curiosity.
Improve
Learn by doing, by teaching, and by seeing how another builder solved the problem on your bench.
More than plastic
It's all about
modeling.
The material is secondary. What connects the chapter is the skill of making a scale representation come to life—whether it begins with plastic, resin, wood, paper, metal, or imagination.
