TedsModeling Posted February 4, 2012 Author Share Posted February 4, 2012 I'm sorry - what is IPMS? Probably something simple and I'll feel stupid (as usual). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TedsModeling Posted February 5, 2012 Author Share Posted February 5, 2012 Thanks for your help. I searched the IPMS site and found clubs in your area and on the East Coast, but nothing close to me. Searching the web for model car clubs doesn't turn up anything either. What do I expect when there's only one small hobby shop in Naples and the next largest is 30 miles away.

thatz4u Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 there's a great hobby lobby in Ft. Myers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TedsModeling Posted February 8, 2012 Author Share Posted February 8, 2012 @thatz4u - I didn't know Hobby Lobby had a store in Ft Myers. I'll check it out. Thanks. Have you gone to Paradise Hobbies in Ft Myers? If so, how is it? I've seen their web site and I plan on going there soon. @modeltruckmafia - Thanks for the info. Moving from California last year, I'm getting used to things being a little quieter in the Naples area. It would be about 2 hrs to drive there and 2 hours back. I was hoping for something closer. How often do you have meetings? Monthly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modeltruckmafia Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 We meet twice a month. Next month there are 3 model shows down here. Mopar show march 3 in fort lauderdale, Flight19 show in Pompano Beach on the 10th and billett proof at don garlits on the 17th Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
my66s55 Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I would suggest that you go on the SA forum and look up Ray Ferguson AKA BIGTALLDAD and ask him. If anybody knows, he does. He was vp of the Orlando IPMS chapter until he retired a year or so ago and then moved to southwest Florida were he lives now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TedsModeling Posted March 11, 2012 Author Share Posted March 11, 2012 Ted...a new hobby store is going in at Davis and shadowlawn....I've been to Hobby Lobby in Ft Myers...not worth the drive...Paradise is a bit better. I drove passt this location, to see how the construcion is coming along, and to my surprise it was open. They have a decent selection of car models plus lots of tools and building materials. Much better than the only other hobby shop in town. Their prices were pretty good, too. Much better than I would have thought. They have a web site, but it only shows photos of the store: sunnyhobbies.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyjim Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Come on up to Ocala on the 1st Saturday of every month for a FAST (Florida Auto & Scale Trucks) meeting. We have members travel from Gainesville, Jacksonville, Safety Harbor, Daytona, and Orlando every month. Our next meeting is April 7 and we'll be doing a BMF tutorial.

TedsModeling Posted March 11, 2012 Author Share Posted March 11, 2012 Thanks, Jim. It's a 4-hour drive from Naples, but we go past Ocala (and Garlits' Museum) several times a year. I'll see if we can arrange a trip to be there on one of your Saturdays. What time do you start? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
