Just got back from the show.

It was good to put names to faces and meet every one.

I though it was, as usual, a good show, except when some muppet put the music on forcing every one to shout at the person next to them just to be heard.

I`ll be back next year.

Don't panic Mike think i was on the Boddingtons mate, i mistook Ian for Ian (Ian Lanc with Papa 695 hehehe, sorry mate). I was up early and the old eyes wasn't working.

Was a great day out and even Wendy liked it. Well done Tony, and very well deserved too matey.

A few photos from the show, and i'm sorry for some of the photos. Looks like i don't need camera, just new hands to work one.

I was pretty chuffed to have got 2nd in the aircraft dioramas, to say I haven't ever done this sort of thing before, the people I did meet were very nice and kind with there comments,it was very nice to meet like minded model makers who are well in to the modeling hobby.

tony I did see you I recognized the T shirt in the pic

The standard is very Hi at these comps, and some of the model making is just, well brilliant, the star of the show for me was the 1/32 F5,its the blurred pic in Johns shots above, surprised it didn't win anything, any way I will be sorting one or too techniques out, to improve for next time.

Cheers

Thanks everyone ,im really chuffed ! Congrats mike , a well deserved result , shame we missed you , but it was a great day wasnt it? Ive only dared to enter anything in these comps once before but didnt get anything last time. To say i was surprised at the 1st place is an understatement , as you say the standards are very high. Oh and ron and dave - i think ive recruited a few more for cosford next year!! cheers tony

 

[Gern]

Does that mean I'm buying even more Eccles cakes?

Gern

 

[yak face]

Possibly dave! and you should have seen the bucket of wooden stirrers at this show!! tony

 

[Guest]

I took a few of those home myself.

Nice to know we have a winner here, well done Mike.

If any one wants to see what I get up to in the man-cave then look at John`s 1st photo.

Cheers, John, as I don`t have the means to put photos up yet.
