Huddersfield Model Show 2015

What makes a British kit a Classic? What Classic kit is really British? What is the SIG all about and what goes on...from initial musings, to full on campaigning. It'll all be here, interspersed with talk of Texan Bars, Alias Smith & Jones and The Flashing Blade, Footy Cards and Bath Night, before School.

Huddersfield Model Show 2015

Post by JamesPerrin »

I've just had confirmation of 4 tables at Huddersfield Model Show 15th February. It's still in the old sports centre as the new one is still be fitted out. We are in the same place as the last couple of years occupying the end of a row.

I've got a couple of spare wrist bands that are required for access during setup. So if you are bringing models for the CBK table and can help setup the display please PM me. Any other CBKers please let us know that you are coming and what you are bringing. The theme is still the "non theme" theme, so any CBKs that have not been displayed previous. (apart from SMW 2014 obviously)

Sadly I can't make Huddersfield this year James, too far a journey to do in one day and it clashes with the North Devon Show.

James, I didn't ask for a wrist band because I can't 100% guarantee I'll be there, although I'll try my darnedest. So if you still have one going begging, please send it my way. I'll let you know for sure one way or the other next Sunday.

Cheers
Al.

Jolly Good Show!

As usual Huddersfield was a great day out, especially as I didn't have far too travel. We were a few contributors short from what we had at Telford, but fortunately Matt was able to attend with his large stash of CBKs. Together with additions from Shane, Ian and Shaun we filled up the generous space we have been given.

The morning was busy but a fire alarm at lunch time probably prompted a lot of punters to leave early rather than wait to be let back into the sports hall. We had quite a few conversions about individual models with people, some of the rarer CBKs garnering plenty of attention. But of course it was great just to have a good natter with friends. All the remaining flyers went so I wonder it the recent peak in new members is due to our appearance ;-)

Thanks to Matt, Shaun, Iain, Shane and Craig for all helping out.

This was on another Branch's table. We have thought about demonstrating the stages of a build for a display several times. This does it in a neat way as it a nice addition to a display.

Great display James as always :), If I had realised mate I would have bought a few models along to help out.
If your at Hinckley or Cosford I can bring a few along :).
I may need help at Hinckley as Im not sure if anyone else in the Cold War SIG is planning to attend.
