IPMS Scale Modelworld - Telford, UK

Robin Buckland has uploaded a number of images for the show that can be viewed at this link on Military Modelling: ------> Scale Model World, Telford 2011

I found this rather interesting vignette of a truck mounted crane performing a lift on what appears to be a bulk liquid container

That looks really neat Jeffry, although I can imagine the engineers here would be groaning at the angle of the lift spreader (I do a lot of drawings for skid modules and have to make a lift schematic for them quite frequently)

I tried. 

SWMBO, may I go to Telford, PA to a very small model show? All my BTS friends are going.  It's in PA. Not too far away. Only 7 hours and 23 minutes says Google maps.

She squinted at me suspiciously, severely. Beads of sweat just breaking on the surface of my head  Just a minute she said.

I stared at my feet hoping for the best.

She spun the computer chair 180 degrees.

I stared over her shoulder. 

From Google She typed: "Telford plastic model show"

This is not good. 

Many hits came up.

She picked this one: http://sparforums.com/ipb/index.php?/topic/818-ipms-scale-model-world-telford-2012/

Then this one: http://www.smwshow.com/news.php

I'm toast. Should I run for it? Or bluff her?

Telford, PA she asked?

Um, yes. PA stands for Pan America. It's another way of saying over there.

Other there?

Yes dear. May I still go? It's only 7 hours away.  By plane.

A sudden movement. Pain. Blackness. Timeless void.

A wet feeling of the dog licking my face which is pressed against the hardwood floor.

A note tucked in the dogs collar.

The question that begs to be asked is whether the party follows Terry or Terry follows the party.  Or is the party actually Terry?  :)

That Retro Rafale is the one that was in one of the magazines a while back - it is truly outstanding.

I love the He-577 too.

Does anyone know what scale this Do31 is:

Was stunning even when you got past the clevage  ;)

A well deserved "Grand Champion" and suprisingly, for me at least, nearly everyone I heard talking agreed. I thought a lot of the competition boys would have considered it frivolous
