Hendon Model Show 20th May 2012

[Deleted]

Good evening gentlemen....
Today I popped up to the RAF Museum in Hendon, to a model show run by the Barnet and Hendon IPMS.A very good show to visit,with some great club stands,and a very well attended Vendor hall.
I took a few piccies,mainly in the competition room,and although the entries were on the 'light' side,shall we say.....they were of a good standard(To my eyes,anyway!)
Met up with a couple of infrequent members of MSC..Craig H and Nimbus,and a couple of me mates from MM...Keith Christie and Neil D,and had a very pleasant day in their company.On this occasion,I resisted temptation,and bought nothing to put in SUWYG!!!!!!
A few pics will come during the course of the evening,so stay tuned folks!!!....

Ok,I'm back with a few pics....
Since my last visit,the Museum has been given a 'model' of the new Lockheed F35 'Lightning'

which looks like it will be a REALLY easy build,if anyone releases a 1/48 kit....could hardly see a panel line anywhere!!!!!
Anyway....on to where you chaps wanna see...the comp room....
These are posted in no particular order,just how the piccies were snapped..







Those were all larger than 1/48,next a 1/48,or smaller




The little Russkie was best in this cat,and the Varsity got a special award
To be continued....

To be perfectly honest guys,...most of the time I forget WHO I see at most of the shows,let alone WHAT I've seen,so I took piccies of what was in the comp,and not ALL of them!!!!! ;D

PS This show reporting is not easy....I ain't doin' it again!!(Not without help,anyway! )

Nice one CB...............some lovely builds i have too say . when i first saw that close up of the aircraft carrier with all the planes on......................i thought it was your modelling shelf ;D

[Deleted]

You cheeky B'stard!!!!!! ;D ;D

[AndyArgent]

Look forward to seeing you at Newmod Chris,shame Dickie cant make it.
I have seen that aircraft carrier before and was blown away by the standard and detail of the thing. Well deserved best of show for the builder.
