Other activities of the AGK

• What are we actually doing when working for the AGK?
• The AGK's presence on the trade fair modell-hobby-spiel 2008 in Leipzig. We have also been there in every following year, with even greater public interest; it seems that card modeling is having a second wind.
• In November 2021 the AGK again was present at the Intermodellbau fair in Dortmund - here you can see some impressions showing our two exhibitions.
• Information for collectors about maintaining collections for research purposes (PDF, 18 kByte)
