CBK SIG at Farnborough ModelFest Sat. 24th September 2016??

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.

It appears my secret is out ;-) It was indeed a very good show and a pleasure as always to catch up with everyone :grin:

A great day spent with good friends as Chris has said, and a great way to spend my birthday. It was good of the Farnborough club to put the CBK, Revell Modelling SIG and Locate and Cement table all next to each other as requested. Mikes wife had very kindly made cakes for us but I just wasn't hungry enough to have one unfortunately which is very rare - I didn't even have a bugger from the van, just a bottle of water all day. I think I was struggling to relax knowing I had a long work that evening. Anyway, thanks to Chris, Tom (or Arthur as I will now call him, what with him only being half the man he used to be :shock: :shock: :shock: ) and Martin on the CBK side and also helping with Revell and L&C. Thanks to Chris (Spitfire 1677), Lol (Watson) Colin (Marrow), Mark (Maxey), Paul (peebeep), Mikeew and Mike (Jelly071) for their help and models for the Revell table. Here are my photos for all 3 SIG tables mentioned.
