A very quick visit for me yesterday (a couple of hours). I didn't bring anything for the table due to not finishing anything new and only said hello to a couple of people as I wasn't feeling that sociable.  I was VERY disappointed the competition area was closed to the public until 3. A bit of an IPMS fail as lots of people who arrive early like me have to go before 3. I hope to have something done for the next show. Is it MK?

Had a wonder round yesterday,  the table was looking good, as was Biggles, and the project cancelled display, though try as i might i missed Kits uber jet ( sorry kit i really wanted to show that one to my father in law, he loved the sound of it from my description). My semi modeling friend also enjoyed the visit. And odly enough i was evan stoped a few times by random folks to coment on the Simons cat shirrt i was wearing, ( bright red with a 10" tall picky of said feline on it so i can easily pick myself out of any crowd phots that show up).  Well done all !

the spoof putnam book on our stand was a hoot!  ;D

Happens every year Trev. It makes the blood boil to think that a modeller is willing to steal.
