2024 Rocklers Modelers Choice Award

Each year when we hold the Rocklers show in October, the club members vote on the model which is “Best of Show”. This year we congratulate Scott Shilling and his Montanes!!! Nicely done Scott!

Rockler Ship Model Exhibit

October 18,19, and 20th

It is that time of year again for our fall Rockler Ship Model Exhibit. As in years past, please submit a model form (see navigation link above) with the information about the model that you wish to display in the exhibit.

We will also be needing volunteers to monitor the event. A sign-up sheet with time slots will be made available for volunteers to sign up. It is a great networking event, and it is great to have our knowledgeable modelers on hand to help our visitors with questions about the models and the club.

Summer BBQ

Featured

This is the park near Rocklers.

This is a post regarding the upcoming summer BBQ.

Our picnic is on August 17th, instead of our regular meeting. Spouses are encouraged to join us.  This event will start at 11am on August 17th with burgers and brauts provided by the club. Soft drinks and bottled water will also be available.

If you plan to attend, please bring a side dish to share with the club members. Also know that glass bottles are not permitted at the park and that the restrooms are a LONG way from the BBQ area.

UPDATE: Thanks to everyone who came. A good time and good conversation were had by all.
