Scaleworld is one of the bigger shows in Belgium The theme for this 2018 edition was Sci-Fi & Fantasy
It's not that far from me
... only a short 30 minutes drive
As usual with most shows in Belgium
... the entrance is totally free
Unfortunately...
Almost all pictures are quick snaps from my smartphone
I spent too much time talking with friends
... and I didn't have enough time left to play around with a tripod and camera
The contest area :
Starting with the aircraft categories ... in 1/72 scale
On Nov 11th 1939 Hurricane L1619 had to make a forced landing in neutral Belgium ... pilot Officer Horation Dunn was interned
1/48 scale Sadly, I took most pictures of this category with my camera - without tripod ... what then looks like this
Only a few smartphone pictures...
1/32 scale
This show is quite popular with the military guys ... so the majority of the entries were in these categories 1/72 scale
1/35 scale
The figure categories
My favorite
More from the Theme categories
Civilian vehicles - in all scales...
The show takes place in a local school
... and it uses 3 of the bigger spaces
... all filled with club
... and many vendors
... with tempting promotions
I didn't have the time to take more atmosphere pictures In the end I had to rush to do the mandatory shopping
... which got a bit out of hand
Several old Matchbox classics for reasonable prices
The brand new Renard R.31 had been at the top of my shopping list
... and this 15 euro impulsive buy also found a new home
But I was most pleased with getting this kit at a very good price Now I only need to find time and space...
I had a great day, talking with friends and meeting new people
Sadly this distracted me from taking more and better pictures
Next time I have to show some more old fashioned discipline !
Thank you all for your interest and support All comments, remarks, corrections, suggestions are welcome
