Been thinking for a long time of going as an independent trader as I don't think my builds are up to exhibition standard.
Got two weeks leave, might pop down and have a walk around the stalls.

I think a couple of us are popping in for a few hours or so. Not sure of the details yet.

I shall be there, quite possibly chatting with IPMS London for a while. Trying to get the balance right between being with the club and meeting my mates from this SIG.

[NARSES2]

No problem Nick. I shall be in touch nearer the date

I plan to go.  Missed out on ModelKraft and SMW this year, and ModelKraft 2018 looks like it'll be out as well (but I will be in British Colombia so a trip to BC Shavers will compensate).

[NARSES2]

I plan to go. 

Great  Co-ordinate nearer the date

[NARSES2]

Show opens at 10:30 so I shall aim to get there at about 11.00.

Don't forget it's at a new venue in Chalk Farm

Good little show if on the smallish side. Got a couple of kits so that's  Also great to see Nick and Kitbasher and have a good old chinwag 

One club stand had a really nice collection of British armour from the Medium Mk C of 1918/19 through to a Matilda Mk I of 39/40. Lots of tanketes etc, but the interesting thing was the scale. All 1/56th. Now they were mostly white metal and by Foundry so I'm assuming this is 25mm/28mm wargame's scale ? Anyway a really good scale to show these mainly quite small inter-War types off 

The same stand had a collection of Matilda's on display from 1/300 through all the scales available through to the 1/35th one. At least 7 different scales.

Finally on the subject of scales the guy had a truly tiny Jagdpanther. Now this was smaller than 1/300th and no more then 5/6mm in length  He based it with a label which read "Jagdpanther with Zimmerite tiles armour"  Me and Nick were discussing with the guy whether in fact he had the Zimmerite on the wrong way round and it should have been vertical rather than horizontal  Good laugh with the guy

I'm sorry that I missed it, due to family commitments.
