I love modeling ever since I was a little boy, started with "matchbox" 1:72nd scale but I was too young to understand "MODELING" 🙂
I've stoped in the 80's and revived back my modeling love in 2012. I've known most of the secrets of modeling by now, but I'm still learning. What I love most is the quantity of information and knowledge provided by such a great hobby when doing my searches before starting a new project.
Now, I've gathered few Egyptian friends who share the same interests, each has his page on Facebook. Once grouped, we created one main page for our society in Egypt and we called it: "Egyptian Scale Modelers" (ESM). With some effort and work, we made some connection and managed to be IPMS-Egypt. The first international modeling club in Egypt.
Our aim is to make modeling one of the most wanted and practiced hobbies in Egypt, we'll make it one day.. Long live modeling 🙂
