Regular Meetings

The Society conducts monthly meetings, alternating between Virginia and Maryland locations. The meeting format consists of brief society business, informal discussions of members' model projects and a program or presentation relating to a nautical or ship modeling topic.   Meeting topics may include technique demonstrations, discussions of particular vessels or vessel types, and other subjects of general interest to the club.  Members are also invited to bring their own projects, whether in-progress or complete, to share with other members.  They are also encouraged to talk about modeling problems that they are encountering.  Often, a discussion with other members will identify a solution to these problems.  

The Washington Ship Model Society meets monthly.  Meetings are open to visitors.  Meeting locations alternate between Maryland and Virginia.  

Steel Navy Special Interest Group

The Steel Navy special interest group meets the last Saturday of the month in one of the members' homes. The group focuses largely on post Monitor powered ships, with particular interest in steel hulled warships, though merchants and passenger liners are also fair game. Models may be wood, plastic, resin, card stock, metal or "virtual" (i.e., computer generated). Discussions of models, modeling techniques, research and reference material are always lively, with virtually everyone taking home some new ideas to use on their own models.
