History
The "Centro Modellistico Torinese" is an Association dedicated to the hobby of the Modellism and is born in 1975 in Turin: actually it counts more of 20 members.
The modellistic themes treated go through the figures, to military and civil vehicles, to airplanes, diorama and fantasy.
The C.M.T. takes part every year to numerous shows and contexts in Italy, in Europe and in the USA, where the members usually achieve good results.
Moreover every two years the Association organize an Exposition in the Automobile Museum of Turin: the great american modeller Sheperd Paine, specially invited in Turin in 1994 for the XI° Edition, have defined it "the greatest Show in Europe".

- This picture show some of the members of CMT, with in the center, the modeller Sheperd Paine, in occasion of the XI° Edition of the International Expò -
But the model, over than a source of enjoy, is also an exercise of ability, arts and research that we can label with the name of Culture.
In this sense the C.M.T. members participate to shows, collaborate to museums and organize "excursion" to museums and military sites.
