Paul, thanks for posting this. Interestingly, there's a picture in their - teil 1 picture 004 of a lovely diorama that I pphotographed, too, a mash up of the Meng ( or TAKOM) overhead crane for tamk repairs and the Border 1/35 U Boat conning tower section of an U Boat (my photo isn;t as good as the one one on the IPMS Germany site). I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of their photos as I am sure there will be better ones there of photos I took!

I can't believe how many of these I missed despite being there from Friday afternoon for the entire weekend! My club colleagues step counters suggested we walked well over 5 miles each day of the show and I still missed so much.... 1

My club colleagues step counters suggested we walked well over 5 miles each day of the show and I still missed so much... @neilh, Neil, I had exactly the same thought. I think it is inevitable that we do miss some things, simply because we look at one item on a display and don’t see another item. In fact, it’s easy to miss an entire club stand! You needn’t ask how I know that🤣

Thanks for the heads-up on the update. @John Tapsell, thanks for taking all of those great photos. And cudos on the win with the M-ATV. That model was an absolute gem! 1

That model was an absolute gem! Thanks Wayne. I enjoyed building the M-ATV. I have another one in the stash but I'm letting it mature a bit before tackling the model again. I was busy photographing all the class winners so it was something of a (nice) surpise to have the M-ATV suddenly appear on the table in front of me. I picked up a win for the Ural Truck in Class 42 as well, so I was a happy bunny all round 😁 1

I picked up a win for the Ural Truck in Class 42 as well, so I was a happy bunny all round 😁 The Ural looks great too, though the M-ATV stood out to me as I wasn’t aware that there was one in 1/48. I assume it’s the Ryefield kit. Good choice to put a figure with it for perspective. Without the context, it looks much like an armoured pickup truck, but it’s actually a MUCH larger vehicle. You’ve inspired me to move the one I have one in 1/72, up in the build schedule. On a different but related subject, this is the first show where I’ve seen the use of “Finalist” in the awards structure. I’m still a bit unclear of the distinction between that and “commended”. I’m wondering if there’s a definition or judging criteria associated with each? It might be something for us to consider here on this side of the pond.

It might be something for us to consider here on this side of the pond. Hi Wayne - The 'Finalist' classification is supposed to indicate a model that would otherwise have considered a winner if the gold/silver/bronze models had not been present - and of a better standard than just a Commended. I'm old-school and would equate 'Finalist' to what in my day as the competition organiser was a 'Very Highly Commended' . The VHC and Highly Commended certificates dropped out of favour over the years, leaving just the Gold/Silver/Bronze (or 1st/2nd/3rd) and the Commended certificates available. The Finalist award appears to be a move to redress that less nuanced classification structure. 1 1 1

Whofan Posted February 7 Posted February 7 Does anyone have the links to the Airfix model world reports on line from SMW? I saw in the Airfix mag after SMW that instead of doing a report in the magazine, they would put it on line, but can I find the report(s)? No, I can’t. Which is why I’m asking for the links!! Thanks in advance.
