Hudson Valley Scale Modelers

Diverse Models
At HVSM, our members engage in crafting a wide range of scale models, covering everything from miniature figurines to intricate replicas of aircraft, ships, armored vehicles, and even science fiction subjects. Our monthly showcase highlights models chosen for their craftsmanship and historical accuracy, inspiring both our members and the community.

Monthly Meetings
We hold our monthly meetings at 6 PM on the first Wednesday of each month at the East Fishkill Community Library. These meetings are an opportunity for members to share their latest projects, gain insights from guest speakers, and participate in workshops that help refine their modeling skills.

Part of IPMS

As a proud chapter of the International Plastic Modelers Society (IPMS), HVSM adheres to high standards of model crafting. Membership in IPMS offers our guild access to a global network of resources, competitions, and expertise, enhancing the modeling experience for all our members.

Annual Model Exhibition and Contest
Each October, HVSM hosts a public annual model exhibition and contest that draws enthusiasts from across the region. This event showcases the extraordinary talent of our members with categories spanning different historical periods and themes. The contest is a highlight of our guild's activities, offering an opportunity for public engagement and recognition of our members' skills.

About Our Name
Hudson Valley Scale Modelers (HVSM) was formerly known as the Hudson Valley Historical Miniatures Guild (HVHMG). In 2024, the members voted to update the name to better reflect the broader scope of the modeling community and to be more inclusive to scale modelers of all types, including figures, Gundam, Warhammer, and model railroading.
