Scale Model Challenge 2012

[wouter]

Hi everyone

Today at Veldhoven near Eindhoven there was the modelling show 'Scale Model Challenge 2012'. I went together with my dad and brother in law and had a great day. In fact it was my first international show and it has proven I'm not up to compete with the big boys it seems . There were a lot of different bronze, silver and gold winners in each class

I entered comp with 6 vehicles, 5 of them in class 24, military vehicles 1:35 Advanced. I though not to enter in the beginners class since I didn't think I'm still beginner...well it has proven me wrong I guess :
I got zip for the Elefant, Tiger I, Merkava IV, NachtPanther, La Gleize KT and Panther F ;D

On the other hand, I DID get my occasional Duvel so was quite happy with that...seemed that Adam Wilder enjoyed some Duvel as well

Anywhoo, comp was fierce and some great models, big names as well. Here's a small selection



If I'm correct, the Heinkel won best of show







I even thought that T was here at a certain moment ;D







Well, that's about it for now

Cheers

Awsome looking show Wourtes. dont feel dejected in not faring against that lot as they are the topdogs by the look of it. I too noticed a lot from Euro in that lot. Like jackwagon said if you come away inspired then job done.

Some Really nice builds there, and kinda cool to see somone else do one like T done.
