Any clubs in upstate NY

I found a link to Adirondak Modelers Mafia, but they seem to have gone the way of the Dodo bird... Looking for an active group in the Glens Falls or Lake George area, or in western Vermont for that matter.

Hey Jeff,

None that I know of, Our "Adirondack Glue Crue" is the last of the dinosaurs, many thought we faded away, nahhhhh, we just got older. Heard about the mafia you mentioned, nothing since they posted a flyer a few years ago down here at Mohawk Valley Railroad.

There are a few builders around here, I know a couple that travel south to the Newburgh MCC Meetings.

Sorry we couldn't help more!

The Adirondack Modelers Mafia disbanded after 18 months of trying to make the club fly. A lack of participation and enthusiasm dictated the club's fate. Right now there is a small number of us who gather informally on occasion to swap ideas, view eachother's work, swap kits, etc. We don't call ourselves a club, but we do enjoy eachother's company.

My ubderstanding is there is one in Syracuse, wich helps put together the mini nats at the east coast event. Also I hear there is one in Rochester whom just put on a show in Canandagua this year. I dont have any info on that one. But I might could dig up info through a friend on the other one. Jody

If you ask anybody from NJ/NYC, they'll tell you that Newburgh is "upstate." :lol:

Newburgh is well worth the trip, even though the Monday evening monthly meetings make it a little hard on us "further-northerners." There's lots of talent, enthusiasm and sharing within the group. It's been several months since I made my last meeting due to the cost of travel, but the TNMCC doesn't base member status on attendance.

Dave, I grew up thinking westchester was "upstate" ... lol. I think Newburgh would be too far, I'm actually in Vt. Glenns falls is real close to me though. I share the sentiment that Brian made, It seems as though the hobby is spread thin in these parts. Thanks for all the replies, Jeff

Hi, My name is Brian and I belong to a club in Syracuse called Central New York Scale Model Builders(aka Syracuse Glue Crew). We meet twice a month and have a model show , vendors and contest every year near Holloween. CNYGLUECREW.ORG

There is also a IPMS club in town also.
