IPMS Telford 2023

I intend to go every year,and every year there's some reason to prevent me. This time it's a memorial service for my father in law and the consequent gathering of the clan at our house for the weekend.
Hey ho.
Maybe next year then....
 
All packed for a quick trip up the roadIMG_6362.jpeg

The fuel can is from Neil’s 3D printer, and I forgot to take the entry card for Morgan, so he is guarding the carry box
 
Good luck from me too, Steve. A bit too far for me to travel and a real shame that Morgan won't be in the comps. He's such a killer bust Sir!!!

first time I’ve been to Telford, I can’t believe how busy it was, it took me 2 hours to get there but the last half a mile took an hour and half due to the queue.

a lot of impressive work on display, and it was good to meet up with some of my suppliers, one of which is taking me out for a meal tonight so off to get ready :)
 
Wow. Went last year for the first...two me half the day to work our what i wanted to do. We go their pretty early though and traffic was ok.. Enjoy the meal

Had a great day today. Met lots of old friends and made some new ones too. I also had a very interesting chat with the Airfix designer and researcher for the 1/48 Sea King, all I can say is I’ll need some golden gloss yellow paint in 2025.
 
Ive just got back 30 mins ago.Was really busy around lunchtime in the 3 halls.My fist visit and bit of sensory overload on Saturday.So much to see and job at times to look at stuff without pushing and shoving.I might have seen some of you but i dont know what you all look like so not easy to meet up.Nice to see various SIGs i belong to.Think the traders must have done ok.Plenty restocking stands when we got let in at 8.15.Took us just over 4 hours to get there but a good experience.

Just returned from Telford - you guys with your 2 and four hour car journeys; you don't know you are born. A 14 hour ferry, (not including waiting at the terminal) arriving home a 1.00 this afternoon!

it was my first time at Telford and its a great show - fewer figures, and figure suppliers than I expected but a great opportunity to see some great models.

fortunate to get a bronze for this one:

ironically, of the few I entered this one involved the lowest level of modeling skill!

already planning next year's trip
