The last show of the year

<p>
Two weeks before Christmas...

For me it is the show closest to home

<p>
... only a 30 minutes drive 

<p>
<img src="http://www.eazyprinz.com/Outside/Images/HS/shows/2018_ALL/2018_12_Lier/Belgian Scale Modellers Convention 2018 002.JPG">

<p>&nbsp;<p>
So I didn't have to get up early... <img src="http://www.eazyprinz.com/Outside/Images/HS/Smile/smile.gif">

<p>
<img src="http://www.eazyprinz.com/Outside/Images/HS/shows/2018_ALL/2018_12_Lier/Belgian Scale Modellers Convention 2018 003.JPG">

<p>&nbsp;<p>
I arrived around 10h30
<p>
<img src="http://www.eazyprinz.com/Outside/Images/HS/shows/2018_ALL/2018_12_Lier/Belgian Scale Modellers Convention 2018 004.JPG">

<p>&nbsp;<p>
The exhibition area consists of two halls

<p>
The first and biggest one hosted several club stands...

<p> 
<img src="http://www.eazyprinz.com/Outside/Images/HS/shows/2018_ALL/2018_12_Lier/Belgian Scale Modellers Convention 2018 005.JPG">

<p>&nbsp;<p>
... and the contest area

<p>

<p>&nbsp;<p>
I was too lazy to use my camera and tripod

<p>
I used the camera of my smartphone instead - it was easier to use and quicker to operate

<p>
<img src="http://www.eazyprinz.com/Outside/Images/HS/shows/2018_ALL/2018_12_Lier/Belgian Scale Modellers Convention 2018 007.JPG">

<p>&nbsp;<p>
Unfortunately the pictures are not as good as with my normal 10 years old camera

<p>
<img src="http://www.eazyprinz.com/Outside/Images/HS/shows/2018_ALL/2018_12_Lier/Belgian Scale Modellers Convention 2018 008.JPG">

<p>&nbsp;<p>
The show is popular with military modellers

<p>
Hence many nice builds and diorama's in these categories

I am always happy to see small 1/72 scale military vehicles

<p>
There were quite a few...

The aircraft contest entries were slightly outnumbered by the number of military vehicles 

<p>
1/72 scale participants :

As far as I remember

<p>
... there was only one smaller 144 scale aircraft model in the contest

<p>

<p>&nbsp;<p>
Most of the aircraft models were in the popular bigger scales

<p>
... something which doesn't reflect in this report because of my interests <img src="http://www.eazyprinz.com/Outside/Images/HS/Smile/smile.gif">

In the afternoon there was a presentation by the great Mike Rinaldi

<p>
... coming over all the way over from the US

Video by BSMC (the organizing club) - where Mike explains a few of his model techniques :

The vendors area

... where I spent quite some time - but due to talks with friends I didn't get around to taking many pictures

I left around 4PM

A kit I had bought to complete my 1/72 scale Mustang collection

Again, I am sorry about the poor quality of most of the pictures

Next year I have to use my camera again

Thank you all for your interest and support
