Scottish Nationals (Pearth) 2013

[Gondor]

Last weekend in April so for me just after pay day 

I also have a Hire car booked over the weekend so fully intend to be there to help set up on the Friday.

I will be there

Most likely from mid afternoon on the Friday. All depends on what time of the morning I leave home.

[Gondor]

I am guessing that we will have our usual tables in the usual places

[Martin H]

dont count on it, the show manager quite often moves us around.

[Gondor]

A little slower than usual but here are some pictures I took at the show

First the What -If SIG Tables

The Project Cancelled SIG Tables

Some What-If's seen on other tables, mainly the Swedish SIG and probably because the Swedish Aircraft Industry has produced some "different" looking aircraft over the years that they lean towards such modelling...

























And until I download the pictures from my cameras two more Whiffs one of which PR19kit will like





That's all the pictures I took on Saturday, more later from Sunday

What a cracking display you guys put on, well done indeed!  

I see the 'Wessex Fleet' made another appearance, and I recognise some of JayBee's output on there, the Twin Vampire and the Skean Dhu amongst them. Some of those Swedish Whiff's are truly superb, and 'WAY out in left field' as our American cousins say.

That long spanned Tornado won the Gold Medal in the Whiff class at Telford Last year, and very good it is too, although it would have been easier, and more impressive, in 1/72 to my mind.

I really must try and get up to Perth one year, maybe 2014 would be a good target.

thanks gondor!

that canard SA bulldog i do like.... just where the heck did he put all that nose weight? or is there a tail prop i can't see?

[NARSES2]

Cheers for those Alistair  Well done gents, great display

[JayBee]

That long spanned Tornado won the Gold Medal in the Whiff class at Telford Last year, and very good it is too, although it would have been easier, and more impressive, in 1/72 to my mind.

......and it took the Scottish What If trophy this year as well. An absolutely cracking little model it is too.

Hear are some of the pictures I took on Sunday, mainly from the Competition area but some from other parts of the show.

The first two pictures are of a PAPER model 





Talking about paper..... here is a picture of the Card I organised for OGL's Birthday even if it was a week late I did get it signed by all the members that were there.



Two What-ifs from the Competition area which includes a better picture of the Tempest





Some more pictures from the Swedish SIG display







A few other items that took my fancy













Sorry about the quality of some pictures, I am getting used to a new camera.

Whose was that locomotive in the SIG display?

It's BRILL, Blue Pullman cabs grafted onto a Class 37 or a Deltic centre body and all done in BR green with yellow ends, pure genius!
