Who are we, and what is our club doing?

P.A.C.M. is short for Philadelphia Area Car Modelers. The Philly Area Car Modelers is a "club within a club" formed by three members of the Delaware Valley Scale Modelers in 1999. D.V.S.M is an I.P.M.S. chapter that was founded in 1972. As a parent organization to P.A.C.M, D.V.S.M. encompasses the full spectrum of scale modeling interests including Figure building, Sci-Fi, Armor, Aircraft, Ships, and Car Modeling. P.A.C.M is an offshoot that focuses solely on automotive subjects. All P.A.C.M. members are members of the Parent club with no additional dues to be paid for P.A.C.M membership.You can click here to enter the D.V.S.M web site Delaware Valley Scale Modelers

Joining D.V.S.M involves building and displaying two pieces of your work at two separate meetings. Upon showing for the second time, the club membership votes on admittance for an individual. D.V.S.M. membership is $20 for the first year with subsequent year membership being $15 per year.

The three founding members, Andy Such, Jamie Makin, and Jim Durso held a belief that there had to be more than just three people in the Greater Philadelphia area interested in building car models. With Jim Durso as their leader, the three began actively recruiting new members. This membership drive was accomplished through flyers placed in local hobby shops and Model Swap meets. The movement gained momentum and P.A.C.M's membership currently stands at approximately thirty members.

Another activity designed to further promote and establish P.A.C.M. was the design and launch of its own website. This website allows people all over the world to enjoy the work of P.A.C.M members as well as an opportunity to contact members and exchange ideas. So please, take this invitation to explore the website and by all means tell us what you think. Check here for club meeting pictures here.

You can share your thoughts on the website or the club itself by clicking here. If you are in the area please pay us a visit. The club meets on the first Friday of the month at 7:30 PM in the Artisan's Hall located at 8100 Roosevelt Boulevard, Philadelphia, Pa. The club also has an additional meeting scheduled during the year on the last Saturday of February at Mainline Hobbies 2915 Hannah Ave. East Norritton, Pa. 19401, 1-610-527-1925
