Plastic model building is the most beautiful, creative and fun hobby you can imagine for young and old alike. At the annual ESM (Euro Scale Modelling) you will find everything you need: not only model kits, paint and glue, but also all the tools and materials you need for model building. What’s more, there is the traditional model building competition in various categories! The competition is open to all builders and subjects, as long as they are plastic models.

There are not only dealers with new items, but also private individuals offering books and/or model kits from their own collections for sale. And there are many model builders giving demonstrations and showing off their finest work. You can find endless inspiration for your own creations and purchase new (or old) model kits.

Admission is free for IPMS members upon presentation of their IPMS membership card.
Admission for non-members is a small fee per person, and tickets are available via the website. Children up to the age of 12 have free admission when accompanied by an adult.
