Went to this show this weekend. It is by far the best show i have ever been to. And is The largest in the world if you have never been. I will do a show photo report later when i download all the pics. The competition had a staggering 89 categories and thousands of entry,s. All of which were the highest of standard that i have seen, real eye candy and such variety.This thing made Euro look like a small local show.
The trade stands were out in force and if you couldnt get it at Telford then it probably dont exist. I went up with a mate of mine Ken Holland and this was the best weekend i have had at a model show event. great company,loads of models ,an Indian meal in the evening followed by a few bevy,s and then another full day of models. WOW, roll on next year, that was awsome. I won some stunning awards.
Silver for my Leopard flak conversion.
Gold for Lest We Forget diorama ,
Best of show for civilian dioramas for Lest We Forget ,This was the massive shield.
Gold for Blissfull Ignorance diorama
Masterclass winner Best Diorama in show for Blissfull ignorance.
I did feel completely honoured for such awards
The Best of the Masterclass winners went to the fantastic time machine that was scratch built
The best of Show juniors went to a fantastic diorama with the set of figures playing cards,they are the same set i used in Timeout diorama in last months issue of Military modelling.
I had to put Ken through an hour of awards in the comfrance room for all the Gold medal winners and trophy winners, poor sod.
With the standard of stuff on show i was on cloud nine with my takings,A great weekend.
