“ Since my adolescence I have been immersed in this environment » indicates Jean-Philippe Serpi, president of YNYS Création. “ During the Borgo collectors’ fair which I attend every year in May, I was able to meet collectors and modelers. And we made this observation: In Corsica nothing is happening in this area. Collectors and model builders remain in the shadows. There are no meetings, no exchanges, even less exchanges. Today I want to showcase their know-how“.
But what is the difference between model making and scale modelling?
“ Model makers build models, while scale models are bought already assembled by collectors » replies Jean-Philippe
Frustrated, JPH Serpi decided to take action. “ I have already reserved the Borgo multipurpose room for the end of September. We are already several participants and we are calling on other modelers and collectors of scale models “.
This “Modelling and Scale Model Show”, on September 27, 28 and 29 from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., is open to individuals and associations, a unifying event. “ There is a real demand » insists the organizer. “ I was able to admire some great collections, superb creations on different scales, whether cars, trains, boats or planes, static or radio-controlled models. At the moment I have 4 models in the works. This show is intended to be a showcase but also a place for meetings, exchanges, purchases, sales “.
