Ben where was your stuff? What you've posted here are as good as most of what you photographed. Take the plunge. All you've go to lose is a few quid for entry fees.

Hey satch,
My stuff is there on our table matey - I just didn't enter it in the competition as I wanted it on the club table I'll be entering the Tiger into the competition next show I visit. Most of the photos are of stuff not entered into the competions, just builds on club tables.
Here is my Initial Tiger I that I've just completed (Erm, that that's the tank on the walnut base for those who don't know what a Tiger I looks like ):
Here is my Tamiya JSU-152 - the one on the right of these three in front with the 'log' and chains:
My other 6 builds that i took with my favourite Leningrad Panzer III N c/w Winterketten Friuls at the center rear:
This beast below was probably one of my favourite builds of the day. It was built by a club member of ours and on our table but I only met him briefly that day and can't remember his name - in the flesh it looked superb:
The other favourite of mine was this Jagdtiger that was in the competition room. They had AWFUL Sodium lamps in there as it's a sports hall and it ruined the photo - as previously mentioned I had a 3 minute lesson on using this very expensive and complicated camera! The build was excellent:
- In hindsight, my Tiger I initial would have stood a very good chance of a place in the competition results. There were not that many entries but what was there wasn't massively better than my latest two builds. It seems that a lot of Brit modellers don't like heavy weathering - I do. That was quite apparent! Pin washes and light pigments were the order of the day (apart from on my builds). No one really 'went messy and muddy' on their work?
Anyway, I'm REALLY glad that you guys liked this post. I wasn't sure if you'd be interested but this is a good cross-sectional view of Brit Modelling. I wish I'd took more photos as some of the dio's were AMAZING!
Cheers guys,
Ben
