SVSM Officers

Joseph Fleming |
Joe Fleming began his modeling as a kid with the WWII planes on the ceiling, armor in the garden. Joe reentered modeling about 1995, since 1996 has been a member of both SVSM and IPMS USA. Original focus: building 1/35 scale armor, dioramas which has evolved to include 1/48 and 1/72 aircraft with a real focus on WWII. Joe EVENTUALLY learned how to paint figures after many attempts, and will paint any interesting character he can come across. His best modeling resource is his tolerant and supportive wife, Michelle. She is 1/1 scale. | |

Long time member with a big heart, immense capacity for doing great work. For years one of the prime movers in the operations of our Kickoff Classic, primarily with "Team Raffle" also a generous go to guy in any way needed. When we’re not shanghaiing him as an XO, Frank enjoys modeling of all sorts including Rotary Wing | |
| Mike Woolson Vice-President |
Full Scale Helo Guy and scale Rotary Wing enthusiasist. A real hard working guy, ask anyone who's been lucky enough to have him on their team!

| Mike Meek Vice-President |
