All types of models and modellers
We are a bunch of like minded people who get a bit of a buzz out of making plastic models. Some build models straight from the box - or plastic bag, while others like to scratch build and put in lots of details. To give you some idea of the range of models, have a look at our members' biographies and our galleries. We all enjoy the hobby and everyone is happy to talk about their models, or ask for help, swap techniques, or offer encouragement. The Earley Risers Model Club is a branch of the IPMS(UK) as such most, although not all, of our members have IPMS membership.
A fun time Modelling, during the day
The club meets in Lower Earley, on the Southeast side of Reading, usually on the third Sunday of each month.
Please check the events page for Dates and Times.
Some members turn up for a full session's modelling, while others come along anytime during the day, just for a chat.
If you would like to join us, or find out more about The Earley Risers
Please contact Steve Abbey, or come and see us at any of the model shows we'll be attending during the year.
