This weekend I visited the Intermodellbau in Dortmund, Germany.
Although it is mainly geared towards model railways and RC, there is some "real' modelling going on as well.

Some impressions, enjoy!

Some nice figure modelling:

lovely shots Tom  :thumbsup:   a good mix of different types of modelling.
thank you for them, 
the things you learn, give your mind the wings to fly, and the chains to hold yourself steady
take off and nuke the site form orbit, nope, time for the real thing, CAM and gridfire, call special circumstances.

Intermodellbau is the only show I've been to (once, a long time ago) that's bigger than SMW.

What a fantastic show that was. Thanks for posting Tom.

My fave was the 'ZZ Top' video being filmed, I could almost hear it.....  ;D
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! :)

It used to fill 8 halls (about 4-5 years ago). After Corona it went down to 5 halls, but it's still VERY large.

I  see that at least the ethernal (enormous) D-Day beach diorama has been changed. The Cherbourg harbour is new.
I should have gone, had already the hotel reservations, but when I saw that the halls had been - again - reduced, got annoyed and deleted everything...

Owing to the current financial difficulties, the light at the end of the tunnel will be turned off until further notice.

I'm not a ship person but that 72nd aircraft carrier was incredible..the amount of time and effort must have been staggering.
That brunt out Abrams was also pretty good to.
There's some great modeling going on there.
Thanks Tom for the pics..great stuff 👍 😀

Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

Some extremely good modelling there, Tom!

Personal favourites are the "Sharp Dressed Man" (ZZ To) , the "How far to Roswell?" aliens fuelling at the Texaco &, just for the sheer scale of it, the "Cherbourg August 1944" dioramas.

I like the ratty Chrysler (300D?).

Good pics, thanks for sharing.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

Great pictures Tom, thanks for sharing  :thumbsup:

Some great figures there. I particularly like the one of, I presume Napoleon III and Eugenie
