Why not performed some journey between modellers around the world in order to discover modelling in other countries? And make new friendship contact. I'm ready to invite any foreign modeller who wants to spend time in Belgium. Just coordinate some show in the same time. Bat-21

Seriously I think this is a great idea. However it is something that would have to be arranged through individual modellers. Pity we are all so spread out over the globe...Jim

A good number of top class figure builders do make long treks to the major shows. Also, big events like the IPMS/USA national convention draws builders from around the world. Keep your eyes open for this kind of event. In Europe, I think EuroMilitaire just happened and here in the States, there's a major figure show coming up in Chicago in October. There's also a growing figure event on Long Island in late November that had several excellent European builders displaying their work.
