Christa Posted November 12 Share Posted November 12 Telford is brilliant. It is brilliant because model makers of all interests and many, many talents congregate to share their interests, builds and enthusiasms. Nobody told told me it would be that good - I sniffed it out for myself. Hup-hoy! Archimedes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two trips up the M5 and M6 on successive weekends is just too much I’m afraid to contemplate, so I’ll look forward to 2023! I have to poke some good-natured fun at my Brit friends on this one. Next year, the US Nats are in San Marcos, Texas. It will take some people who live in Texas longer to drive to Nats than it takes to drive across the UK. So, when you call that a "long" drive, I must admit that I snicker a little!! I almost drove to Nats this year in Omaha - a 23 hour trip, one way. The only thing that stopped me was fuel prices. On 11/10/2022 at 9:06 AM, Out2gtcha said: lol - Is this a real issue? Not trying to be flippant at all, genuinely curious..............The Nationals here are usually fairly large yes, but normally in venues with enough space so that only certain areas get super crowded where you are jam packed together. Although I have to say I've not ever noticed anyone with excessive B.O. at any level of modeling shows, nor any obtrusively foul odors hanging about. That is interesting. Is air conditioning as common there as it is in the US? I know the IPMS tends to pick the ridiculously hottest possible places to hold Nats almost every year, so maybe that fact is a good thing given the presence of crazy good A/C. Or maybe the crowd is different here? I went to a Lego convention in Seattle some years back, and it was much like you describe - too hot in there, smelly, unwashed, greasy looking nerds everywhere (I am a nerd, so I get to say that). Seattle also doesn't have A/C a lot, so maybe there is a connection. On 11/11/2022 at 1:48 AM, Phartycr0c said: I dont think we smell? besides, the stand is a Safe space!

Gazzas Posted November 12 Share Posted November 12 After a few years at QMHE here in Queensland... and smaller events... You get to remember and recognize some of the perpetually stinky ones. My wife had enough at her first show where she was jostled more than once and won't ever go to another. RadBaron 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vince14 Posted November 12 Share Posted November 12 And a real show-stopper - the contest judging was underway when I was there, so I didn't have a chance to get a better picture, but I think this is the HK Dambuster Lanc.

Gazzas Posted November 12 Share Posted November 12 Nice photos! That dambuster build is quite adventurous. Must have been hell to transport it. Probably worried every bump. MARU5137 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aircommando130 Posted November 12 Share Posted November 12 Some gorgeous models there! I like the B-25 diorama and the Tornados. Would like to see the RF-4E and the Pearl Harbor P-40! That Dambuster diorama is awesome as well! Thanks for sharing. Cheers...Ron MARU5137 and BiggTim 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denders Posted November 13 Share Posted November 13 Nice photos and nice models. The Lanc is impressive but I wouldn't have thought the bomb bouncing would have made that much of a splash, I guess I'll have to do some reading on that operation.
