Join or Renew NOW!If model makers have one super-power, it is adaptability. Model making skills are about more than using a myriad of tools. Model makers can adapt to a new situation, creating new solutions, with ease and confidence. With that in mind, our membership structure allows more access to up-and-coming makers, with lower costs that will enable more people in a single shop to be covered, and expands our reach to the world wide community that recognizes the APMM’s value – even if you’re not ready for a full membership yet. Choose a membership level that works for you right now, and join (or renew!) at that level. Or simply get on our communications list by creating a FREE Basic profile. We promise to write... but not too often!
