World Model Expo 2022 in Veldhoven, Holland

[Allen Dewire]

Tim, Paul and Stevie,

It was my pleasure to post up the pics for this great forum and as I said earlier, I hope they will inspire and kick the Mojo up a notch or three. Glad you enjoyed them!!!.....

Paul, Yeah I'm the fat bearded guy, but I only financed about 1/4 of the show. Anton Financed about 1/8 of it and Fernando financed the rest of the show....

Stevie, you should put the SMC (Scale Model Challenge) on your to do list for October 2023. The SMC is held in the same location and is just as large and with the same amount of vendors too. At the SMC, one room behind the comp area is a flea market (boot sale) and that is the first place Fernando and I visit immediately after going inside. Deals on stuff like you wouldn't believe. Did you happen to see where the next WME is taking place and when???......

Prost

Thank you so much Allen. Very well presented, and such amazing work.

[Allen Dewire]

You are most welcome my friend. It will be a few days till I can get the museum pics posted though. Suffering from Mousitis in my right hand and Brain Farts from posting all of these here. Hope you two are well in downtown Ohio and it's not too hot now, like here.....

90s & humid but AC works just fine. Funny, back in the day never needed AC (car or house) in Bflo,, Hartford, or San Diego. Needed it in Hotlanta, but expected it there, now wouldn't want to be w/o it. Took over a thousand between me, my son & my cousin during our Euro trip to Belgium, Lux., France, & Germany.

My thumb needs a rest and thanks for the Truk Lagoon image and thanks for the 7hrs of inserting the photos. One day Allen, one day I'll try to make it to this show.

Cheers,
Richard

Just "Blown Away" by all the great models on display and so very well presented on the forum......Thanks so much Allen! :thumb2: :thumb2:

Richard and Rick, you are both very welcome and I'm glad you enjoyed them as much as I did taking them.

Richard, Calvin Tan was at the show, but I didn't see him anywhere. I would have said hello to him for you.......

Now you two go and hit the bench!!!................

Pity you didn't get to meet Calvin, Allen. He probably would have been hanging out in the figures section or out for a pint or two with figure painting friends after a long time caused by corvid. Would have been nice to say hello for me. Haven't seen him since the last Penang show.

I like the dios presented...very high quality and quantity. The last five to ten years have seen a major increase in the quality and standard of builds. I've sifted through some old MM magazines and you can see a marked difference in figures as well. I don't see the hobby declining...only the way it's marketed and demographic has changed. Were there any junior category displays?

Cheers,
Richard

Hi Allen
I really enjoyed going through those photographs. The models on display are truly excellent - good quality, varied subject matter with some demonstrating real creativity.
Excellent stuff and a real inspiration.
Now, who doesn't feel like getting to the model bench after seeing those?
Thanks for posting

All the best
Paul

Just realised I haven't thanked you, Allen, for taking the time, not only to photograph but then to sort them and post them.
It's a very inspiring selection
All the best
Neil

Sorry for the late replies Gentlemen. A lot has been going on of late.........

RIchard, The last time I saw Calvin was in 2018 or 2019 at the SMC here...There were Junior categories, but I couldn't sort out who was who in that respect. The works were fantastic all around.

Rob, Dude 2, Hong and Paul, You guys are most welcome and it is a show one has to see to believe with all the great models on display. Oh, and the vendors weren't too shabby either. Just ask my poor wallet..........

Neil, No probs my friend, glad you enjoyed them! I hope your job isn't wearing you out and all is ok with you and yours Sir.....

I'm off to post up the pics from the Overloon Museum now under the reference section. It'll take some time so bear with me. Thanks again everyone for having a look!!!
