I.P.M.S. Chapter

KC Link

   The KC Slammers began in November, 1991,when a few model car builders wanted to promote their hobby.  We currently have 34 members ranging in age from pre-teen through their 60’s.  Our members live in and around the metropolitan area of Kansas City, Missouri.  The KC Slammers presented the first Heartland Model Car Nationals Contest in September of 1992.  The club has been able to produce this nationally-known modeling event annually ever since, with coverage of the show included in the major car modeling hobby magazines. Automotive model builders and collectors from all over the region and beyond regularly attend the event.
   Our meetings include officer reports, discussion of old and new business, model cars roundtable, and the occasional debate on various aspects of the hobby.  Oh, did we mention that we also have a whole, heck of a lot of fun!
   The Kansas City Slammers Model Car Club is always striving to increase interest in the model car hobby and to promote model car related events in the area.  Building model cars has been and will continue to be an area of interest for so many folks who just love cars…big and small.

     If you live in or near the Kansas City Area, we would like to invite you to join us at a KC Slammers meeting.  No obligation!  We’re real laid back—just a bunch of modelers who love the hobby , sharing ideas, and having a good time.  Our meetings generally last about one to two hours.   Dress is casual to the extreme!

     Our members model all kinds of automotive subjects - customs, stock, dragsters, hot rods, trucks, sports cars, racing, motorcycles, etc.

     So, bring that latest project with you for our model roundtable and come ready to have a great evening centered around the best hobby ever (at least for us) - automotive modeling!
