May 16 -17, 2008: Fourth USA East Coast Meeting of 1:1250/1200 Ship Model Enthusiasts.

Where: The Maritime Industry Museum at Fort Schuyler, State University of New York Maritime College, Throgg's Neck, The Bronx, NY 10465.

Details: The Maritime Industry Museum is located on the campus of the State of New York Maritime College http://www.sunymaritime.edu/ and houses an extensive collection of large and miniature ship models and maritime objects within the massive walls of historic Fort Schuyler. The large pentagon-shaped fort and adjoining college are situated on the picturesque Throgg's Neck peninsula, a beautiful and peaceful area of New York City. The strategic peninsula lies at the entrance to Long Island Sound, the East River, and northern section of NYC.

In addition to exchanging information among collectors, producers and dealers, the East Coast meeting also provides an excellent opportunity to enjoy the many attractions NYC offers. In previous meetings, participants visited the South Street Seaport (http://www.southstseaport.org/), observed "US Navy Fleet Week," and took boat trips around Manhattan Island. Some made day trips to Mystic Seaport, the Groton Submarine Museum, and ships such as the USS OLYMPIA, USS NEW JERSEY, USS MASSACHUSETTS.

We have made arrangements with the Maritime College for rooms in the new air-conditioned Cadet-Quarters, which are available because the cadets will be embarking on their annual summer semester cruise. Each room contains two beds as well as bedding and towels, and costs only $65/day. NYC hotels run about $180 - $300, should that be preferred. The comfortable Maritime College lodgings are available from May 15 to 25. Further information will be posted at www.steelnavy.com/1250home.htm, and on this website. The Meeting Committee will soon open a special website that shall contain registration forms for rooms, tables, banquet, etc.. For further information contact us at MSM1250@aol.com!

We are dedicated to providing collectors with the finest ship models in the world, excellent service, and fair prices. Our primary lines consist of 1/1250 scale metal models that are handcrafted, fully assembled, and painted in authentic colors by artists and model makers located in Germany, England, Austria, the US, and all over the world. These models are exquisitely and precisely detailed, and many of them represent the best of their kind that the world has to offer (see Products for description of each line). These are true collectors' items, and their modest size (3" - 11" : 75mm - 280mm), ability to gain value over time, and rarity makes them ideal for mementos, displays, or war games. We regularly maintain a large inventory to ensure a wide variety of selections, and all models are inspected prior to shipping to insure only quality products are sent to customers. We guarantee satisfaction, and welcome any and all comments that can help improve our service.

For out of stock items, you may request a backorder and we shall contact manufacturers for availability. If an item is not readily available, it may take several months to a year for delivery due to the limited production runs on each model. Please email us for any additional questions.
