Does the lack of response mean there are no clubs in my area? Am I the only builder in SW Florida?

Thanks.

Sorry to see there has been no response to your question brother but it struck a chrod with me this morning.

Being from the northeast I never modeled in the spring/summer times since that was such precious time to be out and about. When Autumn arrived the kits would be brought out as the weather turned and I began focusing on my "indoor" activities.

Spring/summer were for my skateboard and I all through the 70's and early 80's. I don't think I touched a piece of styrene during those frigid years when the weather was even remotely decent.

I guess I have a question.

What is a southern states modeling schedule, or is it year round?

Hope you find a club BTW.

Dragline, Southwest Florida is year-round season for just about anything. I build whenever I have the time.

Thanks guys.

Howdy!! Yep, I'm here in Naples! I sometimes feel like the only builder in these parts. Perhaps we need to have a meet & greet type of deal? :o

I'm quite interested in that contest!! :D I don't care about contests as far as competition goes but I like the atmosphere of a bunch of builders getting together! :P

Thanks for the info guys. I'd love to get together sometime, just so I don't feel so alone as a builder down here. I think I will make that show in Venice, maybe not to compete (not sure if my stuff is up to par yet) but certainly to meet other builders and see their stuff in person. Sorry it took a while to reply, sometimes life takes precidence.
