Strip mining continues. The halls are busy, but not as busy as yesterday. The lads are having a good show

Home and I feel proper ducked!

A great weekend!!

According to my info, the show numbers were "up", IPMS membership is "up" and the Comp numbers broke the 1000 barrier, so "up" there.

I shall sleep for a while before starting next year's builds (and finishing a few of this year's too!)
I was quite well behaved!!

I've been going to 'The Nationals' since it was held in Maples Store in London, in the mid-60s or so, and this one was THE best ever.  ;D

No outstanding reason, just lots of quality models, good traders, huge variety and good friends too. Thanks to all of you guys who helped make it a good one for me.  :thumbsup:
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
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! :)

Sure was funny watching Terry look for the squeeky Rubber Duck.  :wacko:
Yeh! Have we finally agreed on the species as Radish always said it was a chicken, mind you it does have webbed feet :blink: Is this a case of avian cross-dressing. Only Radish would know :wacko:

Great weekend.

Cheerrs guys,

Had a great time at the show, nice to see you all again and with all the Wine and Whiskey on the Saturday it made it even better.

The first photos going Left to Right, is Nick, Chris and Lenny


Jim on the Sunday hence no Whiskey in his hand


And Terry with the "Chicken" back in protective custody after it was released by the fiendish kidnap gang, there was a rumour they wanted 50 quid for it but that was never confirmed.
