Where are the SMW piccies?

[Hobbes]

Damn, that would be a shame. Are you going to try and repair it?

[Mossie]

Could you use the trick of dissolving sprue chips in poly cement?  Stretch the gap slightly, daub it into the crack.  I should act as both a filler & glue, no idea how long it'd last though.  Was the cracking caused by an accident, or stress from the weight of the wing?

yep, no updates since 2007.

Did you happen to notice which table the models were on?  I could try contacting them directly.

Guys, I know you went to Telford, I know you took some pics.  Where the heck are they? <<snip>>I need a Telford Whiff fix, please...

Thanks Jeff,
Already been there and got the T-shirt.  I think I have seen all of these in the ARC forum.  Mostly aircraft but there are a couple more nice pics of the What-if stand, the F-4 collection and the Soviet SIG (still love the Halo and Chinook dio).

Here is the link to the 450 pics

They were at the opposite end of the line to us next to the Racing SIG so according to the floor plan they are "The Universal Modelling Society".

UMS are a Birmingham-based club.

MMP books website with 450 piccies has my Chinese J-5A (ie MiG-17PF) on it!!!

That explains the accents and the hangdog looks then - Hi Rad did you mention the MMP site ?

[Howard of Effingham]

Gotta ask, is there a Sci-Fi SIG in the UK? 

yes there is. although i am not a member. perhaps the IPMS[UK] website will give a contact.

they had a stand at SMW next to the NASA SIG that i recall.

Here you go Phil,

Modeling Madness has a link to a page from Frank Spahr describing his visit to Telford and Scale Model World 2008.  Links are provided at the bottom of the page to images of Telford and Duxford. 

If I remember correctly, Frank is a model ship builder so his focus may well be on things that float.
