My first time to Coalville , it's nice to see model's not seen before , my preference is the unusual.
A very nice Wallace & Grommit steam paddler . . .
Had a Model Boat Mayhem plaque next to it .
The detail is outstanding . . .
and. . .
That pesky penguin get's everywhere . .
A tremendously detailed H M S Fearless (floating dock ship) . . .
The transporter/launch arrangement is well thought out , took 6 years to build, has 17KG of ballast !
The stern . . .
Don't know if the landing craft are on remote (wouldn't put it past him !)
The bows . . .
All the lockers etc had the correct items in them.
The crew . . .
Hard at it , even the paint brushes had the right colours on them .
An interesting Hydrofoil . . .
By the size of it you'd need a big lake to get up on the foils.
The stern arrangement . . .
I hope it's not just a static model .
The bring & buy was well stocked with reasonable stuff , plenty of variety too. The clubs were giving a good show too, a real diversity of models on display , well done.
Had a word with Dave(stavros) contrary to opinion's he hadn't dropped his wallet on his fingers ,it was a lorry door
felt painful just looking at the damage . . .
