ZTony8 Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 James-the biggest is the Downriver Model Car Club.We meet in Dearborn at the Dearborn Ice Skating Center on the 3rd Friday of every month.Or closer by is the United Detroit Model Car Club which meets at the Hazel Park Library on 9 Mile by I-75 usually on the 2nd Monday of the month(though this can change because of room availability).There are couple of other clubs.Membership in the Detroit Area Auto Modelers is solely by invitation,and you'll need to be brought to the Eastside Modelers meetings and introduced.

Trans Am Erik Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 The Detroit Area Auto Modelers (the DAAM club) is having it's bi-annual show and swap meet at Macomb College on 4-29 (it's a Sunday) from 9am til 3 or 4 in the afternoon. Lots of cars in the contest and lots of vendors. I'm a member of DAAM and have been a member of the Downriver club since '94. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

george 53 Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 DAAM is an INVITATION ONLY club. You MUST BE INVITED to join. The DMCC is an open club, you just show up and if you want to join, pay your dues and your in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scuderia Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 I had a question about the DAAM show and swap meet , is that event invite only? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZTony8 Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 No,the show is open to the public.There will be plenty of members of all of the clubs in attendance.Some members will have tables,some will enter models in the contest,some will do both.Since I'm in the D.A.A.M. club(and Downriver and Eastside Modelers and United Detroit Model club) I'll be working the show and I'll have a table.My table for this show is expected to be about three tables to the right of the show entrance.I'll try to remember to wear a name badge of some sort.

High octane Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Sooooooooooo, why doesn't someone INVITE this Marine to the DAAM club? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
george 53 Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 DAAM is an INVITE ONLY group, so, you MUST show that you BUILD! Not being a member, but knowing quite a few, it IS a pretty cool club, alot of them also belong to DMCC also. BUT you NEED to show them you DO build. I can't really blame them, it IS their club. If someone wants to join DAAM, I imagine all you'd have to do is ask a present member to "Sponsor" you, then show them your work, and IF they want they'll invite you in. I don't really know. Being in one club is enough for me.DMCC is the one I belong to, and I'm VERY glad of it, My club is GREAT!!!!!!! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usmc_moose Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 that kinda screws me becuase i have had hardly anytime to build because of my job so i guess ill just have to cross DAAMS and the DMCC of the list. thanks for al lthe information, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
george 53 Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Eric, DMCC just asks that you ENJOY models, you DON'T have to bring one to every meeting! Just show UP brother! Once your there, the guys'll do the rest! were a VERY laid back club, NOBODY forces ANYTHING on you, you join and just blend in . I didn't used to bring stuff in, but now, yeah, I bring models I'm workin on and even do conversins for masters for some well known resin casters, so, if you just show up, you'll be welcomed with open arms! Just show up Bro, that's ALL you gotta do!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
