Best of luck with it Geoff, just a little to early in the year to be travelling I'm afraid
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Shall I bring models to display? Nothing new I'm afraid, in fact they havn't been unpacked since Crewe last year! :rolleyes:

If I come....looking likely as well....I'll be bringing my latest Dalek (the one suffering from Man Flu) and my latest Cyberman from the Afrika Korps.

Really enjoyed the Bolton Show and the slightly extended morning we spent there.
Managed to sell a few kits too....excellent start to "destroying" the stash..

Good to see the chaps and loved the epic proportions of a fully built A400M on the Bolton stand.
Thoughts of a pirate version firing a broadside springs to mind, matey!!

We left early as I was knackered....this old body was out rocking until the early hours. :drink:

"Sleep" turned out to be about 3 hours spark out on the couch when I got home....yawn....

Great show, nice to see everyone and everything, particularly Raddish's mad daleks.... :thumbsup:

What an excellent show from the Whiff point of view.

I LOVED the JCB Skyvan!  ;D :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! :)
