Here in Mississippi (USA), I think that there are two other people that I know of that have this hobby. How many are in your area that you know of?
Down here in the south, I think it is rare that this hobby exist. I had thought about putting out flyers in my neighborhood to promote. I am sure that there has to be someone near that wishes they could find some type of hobby like what we enjoy.
Anybody got any ideas on how to spread the word around? I am not sure if visiting any local schools would be in order. They might be fascinated by it at first, but not sure about long term.
We have a Hobby Town USA and I could ask the owner if I could put up a flyer, but I would say that 99.99 % of the folks that go there are into ANYTHING that goes fast. As a matter of fact, you would be lucky to even see a few plastic ship models laying around.
What I have experienced is that the right person with the right amount of influence has to introduce people to ship building.
