Here we go then there are very few new Whifs, and lots of Sci-Fi, and a few interesting ones.

The SIG Stand with OGL in contemplative mood.

A few models on the stand that I had not seen before.

Part of the USAF SIG stand.

The other had to be destroyed

More of the gratuitous boobs please..........

Great pics JayBee, thanks for posting them. I ,too, would like more gratuitous boobs! Also more Airships and a quick question. Are all of us Whif modellers....er how can I put this.... over weight with glasses! I know I definitely am (too many Twiglets)!

Oh no you don't!

Think of it in Biblical terms; remember the seven lean years in Egypt....you never know when famine might strike..... regard this shape as a sensible precaution!

Alternatively, global warming/climate change might lead to higher wind speeds in the UK........at least people like you (and me) are properly ballasted to take account of this.

And I'd like to see more of the airships and read their backstories.........

The petite (but gorgeous) student daughter of a friend of mine commented on mammary magnificence similar to that shown above " It must have been a major impact....both the front airbags have inflated..........."

thanks for the pics - its good to keep abreast of these competitions and their entries

I am disappointed. You showed the legs but not the top of what I can only guess was a Martian tripod.

I am delighted. The Airships are wonderful. The bright B-57 is lovely.

Sorry for the lack of the photo of the tripod. It was an impressive model, the more so as it was made from card!

The smaller airships were all made from polistyrene foam (white).

Thanks for posting them Jim. You are a very naughty boy for putting that F.107 on the USAF SIG stand

I was talking to the guy re the small airships et al, and apparently they are used in wargames

JayBee · July 13, 2011, 11:16:19 AM

Hi Chris,

I was led astray by someone(s) but I am glad you did not spot the Martin Mauler behind it

Also I suspected the airships were from a war gaming background. Brilliant models none the less.

I had a great time at the show.

Next stop Glasgow, which for me this year will have a very special importance. It is my last day of gainfull employment!
On that day I will have given 44 full years to Air Traffic Control and I am getting the He11 out
