Ta Ta-da-dee-ta-da-da-dum Tee-dee-de-to-do-de-dum-de-dum
Hi all,
I've not long got back from the show. I had a great day in the company of James and Colin. Travel to the venue was straight forward and the museum was well sign posted. We were located just inside the main hangar, so everyone had to walk past us. Thankfully most people stopped and looked at our display. Although this was one of the smaller shows we have been to this year it was well attended. There was a good variety of models on show, and a nice number of traders there. I didn't purchase much. I got a tank and figures from Colin, and a set of tweezers from one of the traders. I did miss out on a 1/32 Hunter for £13, but hope to pick one up next weekend. I was tempted to buy a Helicopter DVD, but feared that it might have sent James over the edge
Anyway, I'm in the process of sorting through some photo's which I will put up in the next few days.
Mark.

A very good day out at a very well organised event. James and Mark were in good form and hopefully Mark will be along with some far better photographs than what follows below.
We were on the main route in and had a fair amount of natural daylight

The show attracted a lot of non-modelling visitors and young children, 'choo choos' were very popular






More follow Colin

Concorde remains popular

As is anything to do with space/sci-fi

Helicopters were, unsurprisingly, very popular, one visitor had worked on six of the eight types shown here

The latest QB kit confused a few

I impressed visitors with my knowledge of football, until they twigged the names were on the back of the shirts...

We improvised some extra space and promoted Tornado SIG

and Revell SIG

The Millennium Falcon was the probably the most popular kit on the tables!

Superb turnout again lads. Who knows maybe one day we'll have an Airfix Millennium Falcon in our Sci-fi display?
