Some of my photos from the ESM:

This is our stand at 10:10. There was a stand selling 2nd-hand kits opposite us.





Highlights form the show, what-ifs etc.:

This is a replica of one of the air force bases in the Netherlands:

What a splendid show that looked, I really MUST make the effort and get back over to the Netherlands for one of them before I run out of years!

Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

A manned version of the Top Secret German WW2 "Die Glocke" bell anti-gravity/time traveling object?
Interesting. I'll bet that's how SS officer Hans Kammler escaped and was never found again.
Or maybe he was found again. ;) Rumor has it that the acorn/bell shaped object that crashed in Kecksburg, Pennsylvania back in the 1960's was the Die Glocke object which somehow time traveled from 1944  to the 1960's. Anything is possible. ;)
Modeling isn't just about how good the gluing or painting, etc. looks. It's also about how creative and imaginative you can be with a subject.
My modeling philosophy is: Don't build what everyone else has done. Build instead what nobody has seen or done before.
