: Belgian Scale Modellers Club
: Saturday & Sunday
: Klein Boom, Putte Belgium   |
Usually this show takes place in December
But because the venue was already booked by another organisation for this period ... the show was moved by exception to early summer ... and - by exception too - lasted two days
It's only a 30 minutes drive for me
Surely a more pleasant drive then in winter time
I arrived around 10h
The show is hosted by the Belgian Scale Modellers Club ... also known as the Men in Black - because of the black club T-shirts
The contest area ... during judging
I took most of my pictures with the old camera and tripod ... though a few smartphone snappies got mixed in too
Starting with the aircraft categories 1/72 scale
The bigger scale categories ... mostly (if not all) 1/48 scale
The military vehicle categories Starting with 1/72 scale
1/48 scale
Continuing with the bigger - and more popular - 1/35 scale
The figure categories
My favorite Titled : The good German
The other categories
I liked this little vignette ... advertising this show Clever !
Many clubs were visiting From abroad...
... and - of course - also many local clubs
We didn't forget to check out the many vendors ... located in the second hall
I know it's a car
Who can resist this ?
The label says 2 euro - but I got it for 1 euro - as per the basket
The Quickboost guys and the ArtScaleKits, the Special Hobby/CMR dealer
The Sunderland which was released only recently
This was a surprise release for me
... which I couldn't resist
Of course...
Another surprise release One which I almost missed ... and only discovered when I was about to leave the show
In the afternoon there was a demo by Calvin Tan ... one of the foremost figure modellers of the current generation
I drove back home late in the afternoon
Other kits which followed me home
Thank you all for your interest and support All comments, remarks, corrections, suggestions are welcome
