Pat's Custom Models began in 1993, offering custom building services to those who either lacked the time to build or the skill level required to build the model they have always dreamed of having. Then, drawing from over 50 years of model design and building experience, the business has also evolved into not only a custom building service, but offers a full line of Short Kits, as well as "Construction" and "How-To" articles, for several modeling magazines and the monthly Small Talk column in Flying Models magazine. During my 23 years in business, I've done several modeling clinics for schools, youth and church groups to introduce kids to modeling who have otherwise never been exposed to the challenges and rewards of modeling. I have also designed an RC Pilots' Ground School to clear up some of the mysteries of learning RC flying -- in simple terms. Over the years I've discovered that the more you know about what makes the machine work, the easier it is to learn to operate it, and model boats and airplanes are no exception. My goal is to continue to build models of all types as well as to offer educational programs to put modeling back into the hands of kids; and let's face it, kids are the future of modeling! |

A section has been included in the Web Site for the model boat enthusiasts out there. Our local Boat Club has been very active for many years, and since our new pond was completed, boating is gaining popularity very quickly. This section is dedicated to the good folks at the Albuquerque Model Marine Association (AMMA) who have been active in keeping the club going through the years. Click on the Blue Banner to see what we're all about. |
