Seeing as I've bought over 160 kits this year I did feel the need to slow down somewhat.
Here are my purchases all for the princely sum of £13

Btw Eric I did enquire of your whereabouts but no one seemed to know.

beany wrote:One of my favourite shows but I thought it was rather quieter this year, but I may be wrong. Tom helped me out on the table again which was most appreciated as after a 5.30am start and 2.5+ hours drive to the show I needed all the help I could get re-assembling the models - some of them are quite tricky! We were back to back with the Airfix Tribute Forum/Airfix Modelling SIG and I actually had my AMSIG polo on, so we all blended seamlessly, especially as Paul (peebeep) and the Locate and Cement table were just across the aisle from us. My funds were limited (the 290 mile round trip cost me nearly £60 in fuel for my car) so my main purchase was a Valom 1/72 A.W. Albermarle (show special £20) and then a few items from Tom's "everything is a fiver" crate.

Here you go mate...

I knackered now and want me bed, so I'll post the very short bit of video footage of the CBK display I took tomorrow.

Cheers
Al.

EDIT: I've just reloaded all of the photos having been through and photo-shopped them after a good nights sleep.
Thank you very much for taking the time and doing that Al. The Classic Box Art Display never fails to impress. :grin:

Because I'm a member of the Farnborough Club, I was part of the team involved in setting it up so I spent a lot of time on various duties - such as looking after car parking and sitting on the front desk for a bit.

I was there for most of the day (I had to disappear for an hour around 2.30pm).
