discussion Fürstenfeldbruck Modellbau Days 2020

[Allen Dewire]

Good Morning World,

Yesterday, a friend and I attended a show in Fürstenfeldbruck which is northwest of Munich. It is held in an old kloster (seminary) over 2 floors. It offers a wide range of modelling topics to include Plastic, R/C ships, trains, paper/carton models and even Lego blocks. There were a few sellers and clubs also had something to sell. There is also a competition. Upon entering the hall you were greeted by some of these folks,


There was a show group running around in epic costumes portraying Star Wars characters and the like. Great fun!!!

I will start with the club tables and a few specialty things and end up with the competition entries. Please hold all comments until I have posted the last piccies. I have 90+ and I don't want to miss you. Thanks and enjoy,

Fixed this up a bit as it was a duplicate of post #2…….

 

[Allen Dewire]

There were not too many entries in the comp and I found that quite surprising,

Morn Chris,

Thanks Sir and this thing was at least 3 - 4 meters long, if not longer. It could have been 1/144, but on all the info on the tables, there was no scale listed. Here Buddy, hope these are better,









You're welcome Nick, glad you enjoyed them...………..

Sorry Chris,

I went back through the list of clubs and this one wasn't on it. The club for the R/C subs was listed. I didn't talk to anyone on the Vinson display unfortunately. I did just notice blowing up the pictures, looking for a name, that the steam paddle boat was in 1/50 scale though...

HI Allen these are wonderfull pics of the USS CARL VINSON CVN 70 an ive been studyin them close up over the days an it brings back wonderfull memoryies of when I built my USS NIMITZ CVN 68 ive really enjoyed lookin at these pics it was very kind of you to remember me when you took these pics but a question please on the left side of the flight deck is that just a name card ?
but wonderfull pics an were there any other workin features on her eg. like workin radars or freshnel landin system or such an did she have 4 props on her as some times ive seen moddellers fit only two props as its easyier an I see she got a few bridge lights fitted an the hornet engins lit up but a wonderfull model
all the same
