I thought I'd share some photos from the show held at Hornchurch in the UK, these are from around the club stands none are from the competition.

First one is of my own little navy with in the background work starting on my first modern subject. You'll also see a couple of Simon's builds amongst the photos.

Luciano,

Thank you for sharing.particularaly like the IJN Tone and IJN Mikuma. Now that I see them built verse an artistic conception they are moving higher on my wish list.

Great works of art all around.

Thanks again

Better pics than mine Luciano, it was a good show and a great weekend,

I did have a bit of luck in the completion, put in HMS Kent I built for the Trumpeter Campaign.



I will admit, not the strongest ship class.

Thank you Jan,

Appreciate your kind comments, I enjoy exhibiting at shows, promoting my club and chatting to fellow modellers and punters, so generally don't enter competitions that much.
