Cosford 2013

[Guest]

It has ended up a little jumbled unfortunately.

Merging threads can be a nightmare (in admins defense), it works better for image related threads but will take a lot of shifting posts around to get a decent flow if theres a lot of digression or "sub-conversations"

After any shows we had at the tarantula society, there'd be a few threads with the same name but i just changed the title for the most part and let people post in which ever they wanted to.

No phantom it was me, just trying to keep things tidy as they had the same title

No worries John, good thought.............Creep, creep!!! lol

Here are a precious few shots from Cosford. We were all too busy on our hands and knees in the bargain bins to take pictures.......sorry for letting down those who wanted loads of photos.

First are three shots of dios that caught my eye - amongst loads of excellent models

My rather uninteresting kit purchases, but bought with future dios. / builds in mind. With the exception of the Union troopers, they were around 50p to a couple of quid each.

My fav. item, the raffle prize - a small tea tray!!!!

Finally, a little bit of self indulgence, my trophy.

Thanks again for a super day out boys,

Ron

what on earth Ron ?!?!?!? ..... you've bought planes .... you having a senior moment?

That trophy looks good eh

[spanner570]

Er, young man......Planes remove shavings from wood......I think you are referring to my aircraft kits!lol....I will eduficate you yet.

Senior moments? Pensioners pocket more like.....and yes, I must confess the trophy does look good, thanks Col'

Cheers,

Ron

[Guest]

sorry Ron, aircraft it is.

I was being a little silly, and slightly hypocritical as I usually sit and grimace at incorrect grammar/spelling. mis-use of the apostrophy is a bug-bear of mine ... I notice you are of the old school that uses an apostrophy to correctly indicate a shortened name ... good on ya

Thanks for that John, saves me having to read more "Phantom" comments.

We a good haul for the Scale model Gang 1st, 2nd, and a 3rd. Well done to Ron, Ian and Andrew! Did you win a prize, or is the trophy, fame and glory the prize its self?

Looks like you all had a great time.

You are correct in your assumption Ian ..... that's a bit of a "must have" and would fit in nicely with my general "theme" for building

[Guest]

well done you for the 2nd place seems it was a good day had by all

mobear

[Andy2035]

Congratulations Ian on both the second place and the model win...

I'm now looking forward to seeing all these new models come to life at the hands of the MASTERS...

Looks like a great show I missed out on. Congrat's to the winners, very well done.

[Guest]

Didn't realise you got a 1st place Ron. More Jam than Hartley's lol

If things carry on the way they are, you will be spoilt for choice when its Korean War things you are into....... :-/
