Welcome to our Web site!
The International Plastic
Modelers Society (IPMS) is a special
interest group promoting the hobby of scale model building. The Des
Moines chapter, reknowned as the Hawkeye Modelers, was established in
1969. Members build models of various subjects, scales and eras. Subjects
include aircraft, armor, cars, figures, science fiction, etc. Scale
models in 1/72, 1/35, 1/24, etc. Eras include peace-time, war-time,
past, present and future. Basically members build anything that suits
them.
The Hawkeye Modelers
are a socialable group that help others in the pursuit of scale model
building. From construction techniques to final detailing. If our members
know about it, so will you. You may have techniques to share with
us. We travel to model contests held around the Midwest.
