Belgian event

Hello to all modellers and Belgian modellers in special.
I don't know if you know but next weekend there is an event in Hasselt.
19 and 20 october in Grenslandhallen in Hasselt.
For more info see www.broux.be

Broux is a general modeling shop - where they ask questions like: "need some glue, sir / don't know / not sure about that" - who organises every year a "so called" modeling show. Basically it is to promote his shop, which is fine, but don't expect it to be on the same level as an IPMS show. We will find there local IPMS sections in a little boothspace, but that's only because they get paid some decent money for that.
Anyway, good show for the general public to get an idea of what we are doing. Average show for the experienced and die-hard modeler, unless you wanna meet some friends and have beer.

I'm not going, as you could have guessed :flipa:

I'll be visiting the "Brussels Retro Mobile" exhibition over the weekend, 3 day show with highlights:
- 80 years Bentley at Le Mans
- 50 years Mercedes SL
- 100 years Triumph moto's
- 50 years Austin Healy

I just have to go :rolleyes: "50 years Mercedes SL".... Also, I interested in seeing last years Le Mans Bentley. More info on Brussels Retro Mobile (http://www.brusselsretromobile.com/)

A show worth to do some travelling for...

Cheers.

Oh,
I did not know that but maybe it is because I m new to this.
I go to have an idea of what can be made and to find the damn TS50 to finish my subaru.
But I will also check the old cars in Brussels.

Greetzzzzz

You were right about the happening it was no big deal.
But it gave a good overview of what is possible in modeling.
And found some TS50 to finish my model but this store is so expensive !
So that was all.

I know they are expensive.

The Brussels Retro Festival was very cool. All Mercedes SL's througout history were on display. I had the chance to do a picture walk-around of the Mercedes 300 SL Gullwing and the SLS!

Also the first Bentley to compete in LeMans was on display. I think Airfix has a kit on that too. Also many older Ferrari's(512BB, Dino, etc), Bugatti's, Merc's and some Porsches.

Worth the 12 euros entrance fee.

Cheers.

Did anybody take any pics?
or was it that bad?

It was not bad but I expected more car models and people that could give me some tips but it was more military things and boats and lots of planes.
If you want i could post some pics.

Yea, post the pics...

Sorry guys but I did not have the time yesterday I will try to add them this evening or else it will be for tomorrow.

Ok I have some time to spend now, there is not much work so :rolleyes:

Here are the pics it's not much and the pics are a trouble but here they are.

I tried to give an overview of what there was to see, much planes and military vehicles and not much cars.

Man, that does look pretty crappy!

But I like the way there is the 3 cans of Red Bull with the Red Bull motorbike :smoker2:
