Technical
Advice and Meetings |
|
Periodically, we have
special meetings where the only topic is technique. There you can find other more
experienced modelers showing their techniques in assembling,
painting, masking, decaling,
weathering, interior detailing, etc. |

|
Model
Contests and Events |
|
Twice a year, we
organize model contests where you can participate and show your
skills to other people. You can
also see other modelers work and can learn from others or teach others about your
techniques. In other words, you can make new friends there. You will find many
categories and experience is not required to attend. |

Bases, Air Shows and Open Houses |

As a member of IPMS
Guayaquil, you can be in first row to see your favorite airplane or
military vehicle, talk
to a real air force pilot or navy captain. Eventually we have model
contests or exhibitions
in military bases. Obviously there might be some restrictions. |

Do you have extra parts
not used in your models? Need assembly instructions for a
particular model? Your

Our meetings are on
