You all need to remember one thing, he said he had to go over 100 miles to get to the show. Where I'm from that's not that far. I have driven up to 300 miles to get to a decent model show (in Memphis, Tennesee) only to show up late by 3 minutes, and the guys wouldn't let me enter the contest.

ANY WHO! What a great turn out for the show, I'm sure there are ALOT more than what you have shown. I wish I could have been there.

Yeah, me too! Fantastic show. The bikes were especially amazing. It's not easy to take such good "piccies" on the fly, but the Sheene Machine did a great job.

Wonder why automotive modeling isn't as popular here as it is in Europe?

Is there an English-language magazine that features cars like these and the techniques used by European modelers? Maybe we Yanks can learn a thing or ten.

Paul, thanks for the pictures on the show.
Btw, I am interested to see more about Matra MS10. Do you know if there is any thread about this car? Many thanks :D

These are great. I was really impressed with the subjects that are not so familiar to me in model form, especially the bike with the sidecar and that little #162 white car. It would have been a blast to see this show in person, thanks for sharing.

If I'm not mistaken, they're made by renaissance.. I can't find the exact same set but here's an auction just for ref..

Even with all the stunning detail and scratchbuilding, that VW bus with it's "incomplete" paint job steals the show. Awesome.

Remember, we're just a small island over here. The show at Telford is the biggest of it's kind in the UK. There were thousands of models on display from clubs and in competition, but most of those were aircraft and armour. In competition, the tables are swamped with aircraft, about 70%!! We only have one dedicated car and bike model show each year. I believe you have several in the States.

Thanks guys.

Not that I'm aware of. This is the first time I've seen this model. I guess it's about somewhere and someone knows who built it. :)

Yes, I wasn't there in person but was represented with my models, at least 19 of them:sunglasse

I concur about the photography, 1st class, cant wait to see what you produce when your used to the new camera.

BTW Shene machine are you going to the Huddersfield show in the new year?

No. I live on the south coast. My next show will be Milton Keynes in Feb 08, I believe. Should be displaying with Les Garagistes. Then Yeovilton and Modelsport. :smokin:

I found out from the IPMS forum that this car was built by Marco Peretti. HTH. :uhoh:

How come the BMW race diarama didn't win a prize it was the tops.

Well that was sort of my point. If we had the same per capita level of interest in modeling, we'd have hundreds of shows/mags/clubs, etc. and so on. Contra the Terminator, America hasn't been taken over by the machines; we've been taken over by video games!

Now about that English-language car modeling magazine... is there one you'd recommend? Some of us like European cars and motorsports - and even resin and 1:43 - but we have only one car modeling mag, and it's almost entirely muscle, NASCAR, hot rods and kustoms. Not totally. but mostly, and I'm sure that represents the majority of American modelers.

The best mag I've found - for my interests - is GPM's Four Small Wheels. Are there any other good ones over there?
