I'll be there manning the Classic British Kits and Revell Modelling SIG tables. Always a brilliant show with lots of time for chatting and browsing/purchasing!

Hope those of you who are coming today all have a good day. The weather looks like it will be excellent - so queuing for burgers and baps will be very pleasant :)

Well, that was good fun - if tiring. I think we've got the admin and organisation to a fine art now and each year it tends to go pretty smoothly. Yet again we were blessed with fine weather which is a great bonus as it makes queuing for snacks, organising and directing car parking and generally providing a nice relaxed atmosphere so much easier.

I spoke to a couple of traders who seemed to have been very happy with the way things went for them as well.

It was a very pleasant day as always. I have posted a report and photos to our tables - over in the CBK section

I did see you Eric but you scuttled off before I could make contact. I only spent £40 on paints and stuff and not one model bought. An achievement for me. Met up with Blueberryruby who's in the process of making a 1:1 house which explains his absence from the forums this year.

Me - scuttling?

Sorry we missed each other.

Glad you enjoyed it.
