Modeling College At Your Fingertips

Whatever your modeling niche railroading, ship modeling, RC, dioramas or static model cars, you will find the Internet offers a whopper of a resource that is as good as a college degree in your phase of modeling.

You gain an immense amount of knowledge by frequenting Web forums, message boards and discussion groups that dovetail your interests.

I have found hobbyists who use the forums and discussion groups to be among the friendliest and helpful sources of good, practical information.

These sites are very informative and most offer a tremendous archive of model photos in various stages of completion. It is like having a modeling club right in your living room.

They are virtually a community of regular users who often visit daily to review information and add their comments or post photos and files.

You will find most of these groups allow you to surf through in anonymity, but the most advantages go to those who register with a user name and password giving them additional privileges such as editing their previous posts, starting new topics and controlling their own settings.

I have found these groups to be a valuable addition and have several set up in my favorites listings for daily visits and would like to create a resource of links to the better ones right here. If you have others you have found to be very helpful, please email me a link at: I have found these groups to be a valuable addition and have several set up in my favorites listings for daily visits and would like to create a resource of links to the better ones right here.
