First off, special congratulations to Scott for picking up his awards. Top stuff fella!...I just wish now that I hadn't told him about the comp....I might have stood a chance with him out of the way!!!

Thanks to Andy for posting his great selection of photos for us to share. I'm afraid all I took were a ruck of one particular tank, sorry boys!

It was great to meet the lads, old faces and new. Thanks for the Eccles cakes Dave (gern).....Debt payed, for now!

Thanks also for the birthday prezzy Tony (yakface) gave to Dave and I, and thanks to the cafe for a couple of stirrers!

All in all a great day out.

Thanks boys,

Ron

Dont know what came over me Ian. :hmmm:

I do! I was with Graham (Fenlander) when he had exactly the same problem with her a couple of years back!

Gern

PS Thanks for all the photos Andy.

I'm here to agree with what's already been said and to thank the rest of the guys for the pleasure of their company! You turned a good day out into a great one!

Ron, I'm glad I'm now out of your debt. Goodness knows what would happen if I let slip that the reason you're so good at dioramas is really genetic and nothing to do with your background and training.

Tony, I know I have the breaking strain of wet tissue paper when it comes to buying kits so it didn't take much, but I'm glad you forced me to buy that Bell 47 and the Il-2. They're both excellent kits, and I shall enjoy dreaming about building them even if I die of old age before they get to the top of my 'to do' list!

I'd also like to thank you both for helping me decide what to do for the Vietnam GB.

Only a tiny set of pics, but this is what I got hold of today. Apologies Scott. You told me you'd thought about buying that K44 AT gun and I beat you to it, but you did miss a bargain there. It's probably not enough compensation but congratulations on your wins. I told you that you'd have to make space for your trophies but you didn't believe me!

Hi all just to say thanks to everyone for their company on sunday, i must admit i really had a great day, as you have no doubt heard Ron and i entered some bits into the competition and to my great surprise i was lucky enough to take third place in two catagories thanks to ron for convincing me that i should just do it. I did find a couple of nice kits and dave beat me to a k44 gun, never mind all is fare in love and modelling i say. Unfortunately i forgot my camera yet again, so i only took a few pics on my mobile phone sooooo when i figure out how to upload them i will but what a cracking day and i did eventually arrive there as my satnav had me in some farmers drive way bloody technology lol but i look forward to next years with great gusto thanks folks for making it a fantastic day.

It would be nice to meet a fellow modeller and seeing those armour pictures I'm even more gutted I missed it some top builds there....

[Guest]

Ahh yes that wonderful die cast Aliens Dropship Spent ages talking to the guy who owned it - its a very rare item. Got some very useful pictures of the rear landing leg which is represented badly in my kit.

Well certainly was a good day and great to meet up with all, like a Muppet I did not take any pics! Hey ho need an excuse to pop down the road again...this time not following the GPS!

Dave, when you obtained the M.A.S.H chopper did I see two under the table? If so and I'm correct Colin I can check Saturday if it ever got sold as from memory it was under my local clubs table!

Rich

[Gern]

There were indeed two boxes Rich! I was quite late getting mine which reduces the odds of the other having been sold in the short time that was left.

Gern

PS I didn't want to say anything about the other one Colin as you seemed upset enough already! Lets hope Rich can help.

[Guest]

You're all heart Dave heh heh

I'm up for trying Rich, if you dont mind that is mate

What did you end up paying for it Dave?

No worries Colin, think I have found out who was selling the stash so will ask them Sat. Do you want to PM me your details and I can get them to drop you an email with idea of price etc if still available?
