Club History
Founding
We're working on it! See? I have one sentence.
The LISMS was founded in 1972 by people with shared interests in scale plastic modeling.
We were proud to accept the IPMS Region 1 Chapter of the Year Award for 2012. Our club strives to be a major incentive to promote the hobby. We welcome all who are interested in sharing their enthusiasm.
In the same year, Robert DeMaio has been given the honor being the IPMS Region 1 Person of the Year.
We were proud to host Noreastcon 39 in 2010 and win the Region 1 Noreastcon Cup. It was 26 years since a Noreastcon was held on Long Island under Robert DeMaio in 1984 when he was President of the Suffolk Scale Model Club. LISMS under Robert hosted Noreastcon 41 in 2012 and again won the cup again. To avoid not having a Noreastcon in Region 1 in 2014, Robert and chapter hosted it again.
