Bolton Show 2025

Something I resisted the temptation of was an Italeri 1/72nd XB-70 Valkyrie on the ModelsForSale stand: about £40 IIRC.

Quote from: Nick on January 20, 2025, 08:22:56 AMI'm serious. I asked for a Chicken Jeera and the very nice waiter warned me the cumin seeds make it quite bitter to the taste. He suggested the Morris Masala and that it didn't have to be HOT but mild.
Mouthwatering, not eye-watering

I assume it was named for a regular customer ??

Achari Bolton menu -
Balti Morris Massala (hot)
A dish comprising of massala sauce with extra spices, green chillies & onions

Right

Very wise. It's a horror to build and even more of a nightmare to store. Done it once. Never again. Mine now resides in Canada with my cousin.

Yep - all of that. I vaguely remembered the horror stories and reflected on how much of a pain it'd be to take to shows.

A guy from Airfix Model World took a long look at the stand and was very interested in, and amused by, my Vogt 141NG. Took several pictures too, so fingers crossed...

It'd be nice to see it in AMW.

tall lanky fella with glasses?

scautomoton · January 22, 2025, 12:29:36 PM

@Thorvic , is that your 169?

The Wooksta! · January 22, 2025, 12:50:06 PM

Yes, it was and full of praise for it he was too. You should think of putting him on commission as a salesman. Had I some spare cash monies, I'd certainly be shelling out for one.
