Scale Modelworld 2002, IPMS UK Nationals

Hi all,

Just to let you know.

From the Scale Modelworld website:
"Scale Modelworld 2002 will take place on the weekend of November 9th / 10th at the Telford International Centre, Telford, Shropshire, United Kingdom. The model competition is open to IPMS members only. There are over 70 classes, catering for all types of plastic modelling."

I will be going over. Not to take part in the competition, but to look at models, buy some stuff etc. From former events I can tell that car modeling in general is not well represented, only some specialised shops will have a boothspace (MRM etc.), but in the swapmeet you can find some older stuff which is went into obsoletion at some point. I never came back from the UK Nationals empty handed so there's always some cool stuff to pick up, even if the emphasis is on aircraft :bloated:

So, are there any other AF-modelers making the trip to Telford? If so, maybe we can organize a "get together"? :cool:

Cheers,
Guido

I shall most definately going and really looking 4ward 2 it!

I was hoping to have a trade stand but eventually decided not to coz i'd rather wait til next year when i should have a more substantial product range.

Telford is only a 20min drive away from me:D The show is really good mainly for the trade stands, as u say the car modellers are not very well represented. I shall most probably attend on the 9th as early as poss to get all the good stuff!:D

Tamiya usually have a stand there and i wonder if there will be any more info on the Enzo as its nearer to the release date?

We'll see! Can't wait!

The distance from my hometown to Telford is 649 km, not so far but I don´t have a car at the moment :(

We're driving - by Chunnel - over on friday with a bunch of (12) plastic modeling nutters. Only 3 are into cars, and only me building regularly. The rest of them are aircraft boys :devil: So I'll be there both on Saturday and Sunday. Also Saturday early to get the good stuff too. Leave all the Merc's for me, will you? :D :rolleyes:

Who else will be going?
