Robin Buckland has uploaded a number of images for the show that can be viewed at this link on Military Modelling (http://www.militarymodelling.com/): ------> Scale Model World, Telford 2011 (http://www.militarymodelling.com/news/article.asp?a=8855).
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)
-
Anyone else goin ? Or "gulp" will we have a presence there ? ;D
-
Me me me me!
-
Come on lads !! Just me and Scooter !?
-
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/ (http://sparforums.com/ipb/index.php?/topic/818-ipms-scale-model-world-telford-2012/)
Then this one: http://www.smwshow.com/news.php (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.
"nice try. Cooler. 30 days"
-
Ouch!!!
I won't be sorry - will be heading in that general...ish direction in another 4 - 5 weeks though with SWMBO.

"nice try. Cooler. 30 days"
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Darlings, I had a blast.

Darlings, I had a blast.
The question that begs to be asked is whether the party follows Terry or Terry follows the party. Or is the party actually Terry? :)

Radish !! I saw your stand but you were no where to be seen !!

Thought these were good.....

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:

What is this A/C? Is it so Gerry Anderson. It would not look out of place parked next Zero-X.

That would be the English Electric P.42 by General Melchett (aka Andy Davies)

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
-
As ever, there were grumblers but yes, the vast majority really appreciated the entire thing.
-
Anyone got any good pics of that STUNNING B-25 with all the inside scratchbuilt ? All lit up inside ? I tried with my phone but it was already too busy... :/

What a fantastic show!
Too much to see, I know I missed heaps.
The what If guys had a fantastic display.
Comp was awesome, some truly magnificent pieces.

I was there too, double heading on the WhatIf SIG and the Airliner SIG stands, which luckily were back to back in the same block. I had a couple o0f entries in Class 33, the WhatIF category but they were ignored by the judges, probably because they were airliners...... :(
Here's some pics of the WhatIF SIG stand.

Kit, do you have anymore photos of that FAA A-3???!!! Also, what's that wooden display board with looks like grass or vegetation all over it? Was it a product demonstration or some sort of "find hidden model" thing?

Lots of them, I built it. :)
It's a Hasegawa EKA-3D with an APS/AN-20 radome grafted on underneath, nose gear uprated with catapult launch nose bar and a few other odds and ends, decals all ink-jet printed.
The wooden board was Phil Peterson's 'Carpet Monster' display, a real hoot.
-
Carpet Monster ;D
You did?! Why have I not seen it before or did I just forget :-[ ;D
Wonderful build man!

The full build and backstory on the FAA A-3 is on the WhatIf Forum.
