Hi everybody,

I am a fellow modeller from Spain. I am travelling to South Africa at the end of this month (Feb 2008) and will spend a few days in Pretoria, and 2/3 weeks in Cape Town.

I would like to know the address of model shops in Cape Town, and if there are any modeller meetings that I could attend.

Regards,

Luis Casanueva

Hi Luis,

Let me say up-front I hope you enjoy your trip to SA.

You can find a list of the local shops here: http://newsite.ipmssa.za.org/content/view/47/45/

The IPMS Cape Town chapter meets the first friday of every month, so the next meeting will be the 7th of March.

Need anything else, give me a shout.

Hi Luis.

Nice to have a overseas modeler come to our country. The Figure modelers tend to keep to themselves, but let us know when you are here, and come and visit. I manage a hobby shop in Cape Town, and we have a small get together at my flat every second week (Rudi included), in which you are welcome to join.

If you would like i could PM you my contact details.

Regards
Roland
