Who are we?

FIRST & ONLY Four Time IPMS/USA National Chapter of the Year

Seven Time IPMS/USA Region 1 Chapter of the Year

IPMS - Niagara Frontier is a group of people from the Western New York area who enjoy the hobby of scale model building. We have about 110 members with 40+ attending each monthly meeting. Our club meets at 7:00pm on the third Monday of every month (unless there is a holiday) at the Community Center, 4255 Harlem Road, Amherst NY 14226.

A typical meeting starts with a short session related to club business. This is followed by "Show & Tell" - many members bring in their current work in progress to share experiences with other members. There is usually at least 1 model related demonstration by a club member at each meeting. We have special "Auction Nights" during the year where members bring in their extra kits and they are auctioned off. Great deals can be had during these special nights. Meetings are free to the public. If you are in the Western New York area we would love to have you drop in to one of our meetings and say hello. We welcome modelers of all skill levels - from beginner to expert.

Our annual "BuffCon" event held each year in April continues to be one of the largest shows in this part of the country.

As a community oriented club we also host an annual weekend model building class for the youth at our community center in Amherst. The class lasts for 6 weeks, meeting each Saturday in February and usually draws approximately 30 kids. We also gather toys each Christmas for the "Toys-for-Tots" program and are proud of our support of this worthwhile program.
