Hi again! At our local IPMS chapter we have 2 major events each year, being Expomodel the first of them in August and the Nationals in November. Each Expomodel edition has a theme and this year was the war over the Pacific during WWII.

It was held at Miraflores Museum in Guatemala city on 27-28 August. Several members attended the theme contest, some of them from the country-side and also our friends from El
Salvador (it has become a tradition to have them around as we attend their events too).
The Japanese embassy kindly supported our event with photographs taken during the war and presented a movie in 16mm format called "The thomb of the fireflies", very emotive indeed. Also there was the presence of hobbystores and Dremel representatives. On sunday
we held a build-up marathon for the newbies to get them started in the hobby. I hope you like the pics.
Cheers from IPMS/Guatemala
Pablo Angel Herrera
