Fenland and Spalding show.

Hi, the show was well attended again but numbers were down on last year, possibly due to recent events. Various clubs and suppliers were there and I managed to pick up a bargain, more on that later. Met up with John Race and Ben (Yambam) and his better half Katie. Also met Andrew (adt70hk) and junior who is very camera shy. Looking at the pictures I really need to go on a diet lol.

L to R yours truly Andrew, Junior, John, Ben and Katie.

Next are a few photos of some of the various clubs, my apologies but I am no David Baily.

But for me and most of the visitors this was the star of the show. Completely scratch built over 3 years it was rightly awarded best in show at the nationals. the war horse one of the figures is based on the modeller. It really does need to be seen to be believed the level of skill involved.

Thanks to all who came. It was good to meet up with some old friends and meet up with Andrew for the first time. Roll on next year.

cheers

Scottie

Great to meet up with in person at last and the others and thanks for the pics. If you don't mind I'll add some of my shots to this thread and keep everything in one place, rather than have multiple threads for the show.

Have to agree about the War Horse kit, modelling at it's vey best - the figures are a work of art on their own and then you add the horse to it!

All the best.

Yes mate feel free it makes perfect sense to keep them on here. Your right about the war horse.

Great to meet up with Scottie and Ben (and of course his better half) for the first time, and of course Comrade Race for the second time!

Junior sends his apologies for not showing his face and doing an impression of a headless 'Squid Game' figure....he is not normally that shy but given his age and this being a public forum I hope you understand.

Ok so below are some of my shots of the show, I'll try not to repeat Scotties but will probably fail occasionally. As always there are far too many to share them all, so as usual you can find the full album HERE.

PS My phone camera is not the best and some of the tables were near very big windows, so some colours look a bit washed out.

So first up some close ups of Scottie's club table














What is modelling without some minions?






Great use of toy stuffing to generate breath in a cold atmosphere








The Battle of Britain Lancaster (or so I was told) as was used during the 1950s







A large scale conversion of some sort












Some dystopian kitbashes, which I rather liked












Some other shots....the rest are in the album!

[minitnkr]

Eyes front Soldier!!....they're talking about you!

Personally I think he should have a pointy hat and a wand considering some of the stuff he produces…….

Thanks so much, Paul and Andrew, for the great pics!!! Sure were a lot of fantastic models on display and also great to see some of yours too Paul. Love the pic of the crew and at least it wasn't raining....

Looking at the pictures I really need to go on a diet lol.

Honestly Paul, you look very distinguished in the photo. You remind me of a politician in civvies on the weekend. Actually, I think everyone needs to eat a few less Schnitzels, myself included...Also great to see Einstein (Dude 2) looking real smartly dressed in the pic.....

Thanks again guys!!!

Prost
