WELCOME

 

This is the home on the web of Alamo Squadron, the San Antonio chapter to the International Plastic Modelers' Society. Discover the many models, activities and events the club is happy to build, support, organize and promote.

Established in 1977, the Alamo Squadron is a social organization in which all modelers and modeling interests are accepted and invited to join in the fun and enjoyment of making models, as well as the camaraderie of helping others enjoy this wonderful hobby. We are proud to have served the central Texas community for over 45 years, as well as supporting other hobby clubs in Texas, Mexico, and the southern United States by cultivating and promoting a general interest in the scale modeling hobby.
