About IPMS
According to the IPMS Belgium website, the International Plastic Modellers' Society, an international association founded in England in 1963, is unique in its kind, striving to regroup the fans of plastic modelling. Its motto is "By modellers, for modellers". All the aspects of modelling are cared for: aircraft's, AFV's, ships, cars, motorcycles, figures, arms, dioramas, science-fiction, etc.
The Belgian branch was founded in 1968. It's one the most important in the world. IPMS Belgium is an "association sans but lucratif" (association without any lucrative purpose) runned only by volunteers - not by professionals - not being paid for their work. The publications are produced and distributed by modellers giving some of their time and their energy and the association is runned following the same principles. IPMS Belgium is managed by modellers for modellers and is not associated to any model producer.[1]
