Some people shut down their sites or otherwise abandon them.&nbsp;&nbsp; Other sites disappear as ISP&#8217;s and Webhost shut down, or move around.&nbsp;&nbsp; In 2009, AOL and GeoCities closed&nbsp; their free personal pages, taking out dozens of model sites.&nbsp;&nbsp; Sadly, there are fewer and fewer websites that are devoted to hobbies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the other hand, Facebook has provided new opportunities for model builders to share their hobby.&nbsp; I&#8217;ve added a listing of several Facebook groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Listed below are sites that are still active as of November 2025, but many have not been updated in years. &nbsp; It is certainly not a comprehensive list, but it is a list of sites I think will interest the people that visit CultTVman.&nbsp;&nbsp; While I do try to filter out those sites that are questionable, inclusion of links on this page should not be considered an endorsement by me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Last reviews 11\/16\/2025&nbsp;
