What is IPMS?
The INTERNATIONAL PLASTIC MODELLERS SOCIETY was established in England in 1963 by modellers who shared their interest in building static plastic scale models.

These modellers established “Plastic” in the Society name to distinguish it from societies doing models in wood or metal, either static or flying.

The models cover a wide range of subjects and periods, from ships, airplanes and land vehicles to historical figures and dioramas, not to mention science fiction and pure fantasy. In short, modelling possibilities are almost endless.

This modelling association idea gradually spread worldwide, with like societies in almost every country. However, there is no centralized IPMS government nor absolute rules to follow, so that every group in each country adapts the main idea to its national traditions, tendencies and possibilities.

Being an IPMS member is a way to see plastic model building as an enjoyable and worthwhile hobby, promoting friendship and sharing knowledge and skills.

It can be said that IPMS is a common language worldwide, uniting people in a friendly and growing group that shares the same interest in plastic models.

IPMS Uruguay
After some initial tentative meetings, on 15 August 1987, some local modellers meet in the first open to the public meeting, also showing built models.

This date is seen as the creation of IPMS-Uruguay, and the beginning of the road we are travelling today.
