PVMS Model show
Posted by Bodge on Saturday, April 14, 2012 12:09 PM

truly awsome day out. The show was packed and i didnt stop talking to different people all day. Saw loads of old friends and met new ones. I got asked to do a talk at a club in the near future on my modelling techniques which was a suprising honour .We had a stand for the modellers social club forum which included myself, *** Francis, Chris B and a new freind Dan whose second name i dont know. We were graced with the presence of Ken Holland aswell .Loads to look at and our stand caused quite a bit of interest.

My Blissful ignorance dio caused a great deal of interest with a lot of very nice comments to go with it.I was also very gratefull to pick up the best of show award for it also. *** picked up a few golds and a couple of very nice trophy,s .Dan picked up a gold on his very first model show. I picked up a handfull of golds and three trophy,s which i very much apreciate.I was asked to judge today which i had to turn down as i was entering the comp and didnt feel it was right even if i didnt judge on the category,s i entered.

Excellent day out and i am very fortunate and apreciative that people liked my models so much. Gives you a bit of a buz.

There ,sorry for blowing my own but im on a high.Andy.cheeky

No surprise to hear that cleaned up more iron at the shows. Your work has always spoke for itself.

Well done, and nothing wrong with blowing your own trumpet once in a while.

Were do you get details of up and coming model shows in the UK. I'd really like to go to a few but have no idea where to look.

And yes, some photos would be great.

Congrats on the awards...and I'll add my voice to the call for pics if you have any. I always enjoy seeing displays and contests that I cannot attend...it helps keep the creative juices flowing and spawn new ideas.

Cheers,

Brad

Andy, it took me a second to catch onto the Blissful Ignorance dio. Very clever. Can we get more pictures of it?

Ok, we asked for pics. We got them. Some stunning work there. I recall seeing Blissful ignorance before, a great piece of work.

Great photos, thanks.
