The GPC (Campinas Plastic Modeling Group) event is one of the most traditional and largest in Brazil, attracting modelers from all over the country. Its 26th incarnation was held on August the 19th and 20th in 2023.

The show had more than 200 registered modelers attend with over 1,200 models entered on to the tables. Many more visitors came through the doors to see what was on display. This year (as in recent years) it was held in an event park in the city of Valinhos (state of São Paulo).

Traditionally, the main categories are aviation, military and civil vehicles, but over the last few years, the community of science fiction and fantasy modelers has turned out in force, making it the fourth category in importance at the event.

The event also featured workshops, kits and tools vendors, food trucks and an already traditional vintage car exhibition, to complement the party!

Here we have just a small sample of the meeting's models on display in the hall. Good luck to all who participated and those who won prizes for their models in the competition.

Another successful show with happy visitors, entrants and (most importantly of course) judges😂. We look forward to catching the show next year for new and interesting creations from some of the best modellers in South America...
