Just for Fun Modellers (JFFM) is a friendly, fast-growing modelling community based in Dorset, welcoming builders of all ages, abilities, and interests. Although based in Dorset, we have members from all over the UK, reflecting the inclusive and accessible nature of our group. Formed with the simple aim of enjoying the hobby without pressure or competition, we bring together modellers who appreciate a relaxed, social approach to scale modelling.

Our displays showcase a wide range of subjects, reflecting the diverse interests of our members: aircraft, armour, ships, sci-fi, figures, cars, dioramas, wargaming pieces, and anything else that sparks creativity. We actively encourage new modellers, returning hobbyists, and anyone looking for a supportive group to share techniques, inspiration, and ideas.

Membership is completely free — there are no fees and no obligations. Any member can display at any of the many shows we attend around the UK, and we’re always excited to involve new contributors, whether they’re seasoned builders or just starting out.

JFFM meets both in person and through regular online sessions, making it easy for people to join in from near or far. We attend and exhibit at shows across the country, promoting the message that modelling should be enjoyable, accessible, and open to everyone.

At Model World Live 2026, our stand features a selection of members’ current builds, completed projects, and works-in-progress, illustrating the variety of styles, skills, and approaches within the club. Come and say hello — we’re always happy to chat, swap ideas, and introduce newcomers to the hobby we love.
