Time for some models

This year I will start a little differently and post some pics for some of my favourite models from this years show.

Demo underway

There is always something to see and learn at expo. David Hay showing his wet pallet painting technique.

Model Expo 2017 is here

Today is Friday and set up day for Expo 2017. We once again get to put together a year's worth of planning and preparations in a day. Making it all happen is one of the things that drives the committe
on each year.
Already we are looking at a great  event with over 200 pre entered models, 23 trade stands and 20 participating club displays. The swap and sell has sold out for trade on Monday, so it is already shaping up well. Stay tuned for pictures and posts over the course of the weekend. Even better come down and see for yourself.

First post for 2017.

It is time to dust off the camera, shake out the cobwebs and get ready for Model Expo 2017. We have 8 days to go until opening time.
This year promises already to be a monster year. Plenty of traders, plenty of prizes on offer from sponsors and traders alike. A Full demo schedule as well as further demos around the hall at selected trade stands, means there will always be plenty to see.
Oh and we have only a table or two left in the swap and sell.
So for more details get on the expo website and check out what is on for the weekend.

As usual I will try to post as often as possible during the course of the show to let you know what you have missed.... or missed out on....

Regards and see you in 8 days time
