General Modeling Questions

1. If you are a member of IPMS/USA, you can post your question on our Topic-specific Discussion Forum, or you can submit your questions to the IPMS/USA Journal "Wants and Disposals" column. That will reach the entire membership but will take longer.

2. Post your question on one of several modeling sites such as r.m.s. (rec.models.scale) newsgroup, HyperScale, or Modeling Madness. This is the fastest way to get your question out to the most modelers worldwide. If you have a problem getting the newsgroup, check with your ISP (Internet Service Provider) for help with logging into newsgroups. They are free.

We welcome your messages and consider them essential, but the volume of e-mail is both high and sometimes misdirected. To expedite our response, we need your help getting your message to the right person. Note - Please include your IPMS membership number, if you are a member, on all inquires. (Please do not send unsolicited photo or file attachments.)

Thanks for your cooperation.
