Report by Bill Curtis – Held at Temple Park Centre,Tyne and Wear UK – 10 July 2011
We had decided to take a break in the Scottish Borders and completely unintended as the Sunday coincided with the Northern Model Show. So after a drive up on the Saturday and a restful night’s sleep we set off for the seventy five mile drive back south.
The venue was easy to find and after parking the car we found the hall where the show was being held. I had decided this was to be a flying visit as we had a full schedule for the week.
Their were various clubs from the north in attendance as well as IPMS SIG’s, traders including: Little Cars, MDC, Aviation Book Centre and others from which kits, books and all the odds and ends one requires to produce that masterpiece we all hope for could be purchased. Geoff and Jamie were there of course with the SMN stand and there was plenty of interest.
I did not see the competition as I left before this was judged, but there are some images here from the competition.
I will let the pictures speak for themselves as there were some stunning models on display. Although this was a short visit for me I really enjoyed it and hope to make it another year.
