Yes there is a model club in Rochester, NY. IPMS Rochester, NY also know as Roc City Scale Modelers. We meet once a month for business meetings in Fairport and have a weekly build night in a Bill Gray's restaurant in Sea Breeze.
We currently have about 40 members that build a wide variety of subjects and about 6 members building auto subject matter.The website is www.ipmsrochester.org. Our annual show was just held in Webster, NY and was well attended.
