Welcome to the IPMS Anchorage Website! Located in Anchorage, Alaska, we are a fellowship of scale modeling enthusiasts who meet weekly to discuss and improve our modeling skills.
We welcome all people interested in the art and craft of scale modeling. Whether it's been 30 years since you last put a model together, or if you have NEVER put a model together and wonder what in the heck this is all about, you are welcome to come visit and share in the joy and craftsmanship of scale modeling!

9 SEP Weather Armor Models. Paul shows us how to dirty up that tank and make it look worn and weathered!
16 SEP What's Your Workspace? Where do you work on models? Do you have a "Man Cave" or a TV stand? E-mail digital photos to Gideon and he'll bring an LCD projector from work to show and share our work areas!
23 SEP Painting Figures -- Flesh Tones. The Flesh Tones, no, not the band, the technique. The amazing Chuck will demonstrate the difficult art of making faces and skin look realistic in scale.
