Tamiya's 1/35 German King Tiger

Garzon, according to that map, Europe is Temperate Deciduous Forest, not Tropical Rain Forest.

Stikpusher.

Trust me, it is an obscure art in Mexico, not to mention contests.

So I agree, since you have a lot more chances for expos, contests, forum, visti them and learn from other builders and also have fun, just having the opportunity to see 200 to 300 models, you will be able to compare you skills.

And why not?, lots of shopping in one single site.

Have a great day!

What part of Mexico are you located in Garzon? There are some modelers from the Tijuana area who have formed a club down there- Secret Society of Model Builders that has members from the Tijuana and San Diego areas. A few of them come up to our AMPS chapter meetings every so often near Los Angeles.They have a contest coming up (AMPS style judging) in San Diego in December or Januaury. Good bunch of guys. Yes I know Mexico is a big place and that area is only one small corner...

Stikpusher, entering my work in a show or contest just for display would definitely interest me. It would even be nice to win something in competition but I believe it would be more rewarding, for me, just to get to show my work. I'll start looking for some clubs or shows/contests that I could travel to and from in a day.

Once you show up and see the stuff Jim, you see some builds and think to yourself, "I can do better than that"... it all starts there and then.

Stikpusher,

I'm from Puebla, 90 miles south of Mexico City.

Probably, best know for the battle of 5 de mayo, which took place here.

Large city, 4th largest, 3 million people, but not big enough for  having clubs...

Thanks for the advice.

Yes, Mexico is muuuuch more than Tijuana.

Ok I know of that Puebla (and Cinco de Mayo).  My father is from Monterrey, and my mother's family lived in Ensanada (her mother and aunts were born there) for awhile after leaving Germany and before coming to Los Angeles in the late 1800s. I have been there a few times, but not in many years.  Doesnt Mexico City have an IPMS Chapter? 90 miles is not close, but it is not too far...
