I've just put up some pictures of the Intermodellbau show in Germany.
Lot's of models of all kinds and especially a large number of outstanding figures.

Some samples:

the things you learn, give your mind the wings to fly, and the chains to hold yourself steady

That Cherbourg harbor is UNREAL... And Akagi in 144th scale it looks like. That locomotive... :bow:

I think these guys have discovered the modelmaking equivalents of Steroids.  :blink: :blink: :blink: :blink: :blink: :blink: :blink: :blink: :blink:

Im betting the rail heads on here will spot it.

Better believe it!  :o

British Rail didn't exist in 1944, it was formed in 1947, and the double arrow logo didn't arrive till 1965. Not only that, the loco is a Drewry Class 04, which wasn't available until 1950 or so.

Does that make the whole diorama a Whiff?  ;D

Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Does a Canuck who left Blighty in '62 (and never was into trains) get a point for at least noticing the logo was probably wrong?  ;D

The Celt blacksmith is a superb figure and yup the Cherbourg dio is mind boggling. Great stuff, thanks for sharing  :thumbsup:

I like the soldiers slaving on the Kubelwagen when a whole host of replacement parts sit on the VW Beetle so very close by.

Just because the resident scouser has defected to Kiwiland............he wont let you get away with that one.

Even if it is True ;D

I don't know the term "Scouser", but if is like 'Scrounger": an obtainer of parts from area unspoken of, I'm guilty of that too.  :thumbsup: I wanted to build a Kubble (Thing) body for my VW 'Bug" so I could trade back and forth for summer and winter driving. Both done up in Reich markings just because!  :wacko:

A "scouser" is a term for someone from the Liverpool area of England.
