Scale Model World Show Report - Part 2 - lots of pics.

[Guido]

Hi guys,

I returned only yesterday night from the Show, the biggest IPMS show in Europe. Apart from the cool model pics that Chris - Flyonthewall - posted here are some atmosphere pics and the stuff that I purchased. The last time I saw Chris, I was on some free ale on the IPMS Norway stand :finger: . I had a good time during the whole weekend and was very pleased to meet Chris.

My purchases:
Kits:








A Porsche for my 10 year old daughter




Decals:


Accessories:




Overall view of the show. Pictures is Hall B, Hall A was as nearly as big

I'd like to see some more of that 300SL some time. I have some of those Modelers AN fittings from another show, they are really good but not had the chance to use them yet.

Just let me know what it is that you're willing to see and I'll post it.

Err... a Mercedes 300 SL in 1/24th... :finger:

Will ask a friend to pass by during the weekend, so I can take pics of the parts. I can also show my Finished Sonax C-Class then.

Smart arse!

So do you need to buy two more C class merc's for those decal sets you brought?

[Gainsbourg]

Nice purchases huudo. Especially interested in the building
of the 450 SLC.
To bad there is no 1/24 model of the ZX Rallye

Yep, I sure do... That will take the tally to 5, which is going to make a cool collection. Since currently I'm on the C-Classes I will buy them pretty soon, to finish the collection in one single run. Although the pictures suggest a modified front wing - which were used in the '95 series - I found some pics on the net yesterday from early on in the season with the '94-type front wing. So I believe the pics included in the set were taken in the second half. I'll make both as early season versions, since I don't have the conversion/modifications skills that you have

Thanks man! I was realy excited in finding the 450 SLC, and on first view it looks like a cool kit, including engine etc. You'll have to wait though till my, now 5!, C-Classes are finished, and that may take a couple of extra months. so be patient.

I know, I never understood why Tamiya did both 205T15 and 405T16 and not the ZX. It won enough events I think to make an interesting subject. I build the Heller kit already once for the local Citroen dealer, but now I will do it again for the Citroen collection

Not only that, but from now on, we know who's on the other side of the line. The Avatar got a real face now and that's also a way to make friends.
