Sad In Maine

[68GS400]

Was excited to find this site and the great club directory... but my hopes were dashed when I found no listings for my state. I know people live up here because they get in my way when I try to get to work or to Wal-Mart, but with 1.1 million people how can it be that there are not at least two or three car modelers who like to get together and talk shop or show off? Lame, very lame.

Anyone know of any model car folks in the north woods? Hello?

Hi, Colin. Welcome aboard.

I live in "southern Maine" (Massachusetts to the rest of you, Maine is "northern Massachusetts") where in Maine are you?

If you're not too far from the New Hampshire line, may I recommend Classic Plastic? They're a great bunch of guys and a lot of fun to hang around with. They meet on the first Saturdays in Lowell.

I belong to MassCar, which is the other side of Boston, in Dedham. We meet the second Saturdays and the third Monday.

I think there are also a couple of small clubs in New Hampshire. Worst case, call Hobby Emporium in Tyngsborough, Ma. They're pretty well plummed in to the northern New England scene.

Welcome to the forum, Colin. I'm in FAR southwestern Maine (the Berkshires ) and no clubs here either. MassCar is to far for regular meetings and Albany is just a train depot. This is a fine place to get your model fix, though!

I'm in central Maine, near Augusta, so not close to NH

There's not even a hobby shop listed around here. Well, maybe I'll have to post a notice in Michael's and see if I can find anyone local who might be interested.

I'll keep you posted.

Antone want to share the story of how they started a local club? I need some inspiration 'cuz I'm feeling defeated, here.
