Telford Scale Model World 2013 (Pic Heavy!)
It was the annual IPMS Scale Model World in Telford this weekend, took 230 odd pics so thought I'd share a smallish selection with you guys here.
It's my second time at the show and I was once again blown away by the sheer quality of the work. I mean it really is art. It's a bloody big show, we went on the Sunday, got there around 11 and had still only seen about 2 thirds of what was there by 4pm (with only a short stop for a hot roast port sandwich!), and I had no time to go bargain kit hunting either :( I think maybe an overnight stay would be on the cards next year! There is plenty of photos so I think this will be the first of a number of posts. Apologies for the sizes too, I'm afraid they are a bit on the big side so it's worth zooming out a little. Enjoy! https://fbcdn-sphotos-d-a.akamaihd.n...21024644_o.jpg Centurion https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.n...75930040_o.jpg Bedford Fuel Bowser https://fbcdn-sphotos-b-a.akamaihd.n...36986073_o.jpg I don't think I need to say what this beasty is! https://fbcdn-sphotos-c-a.akamaihd.n...97918057_o.jpg STARBUG!!! https://fbcdn-sphotos-g-a.akamaihd.n...24868690_o.jpg A Selection of Wingnut Wings kits in the competition area https://fbcdn-sphotos-a-a.akamaihd.n...18718169_o.jpg Just look at the panelling! https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.n...48073089_o.jpg Captured T34 https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.n...75245958_o.jpg DUKW https://fbcdn-sphotos-g-a.akamaihd.n...56999692_o.jpg Burberry clad German haha https://fbcdn-sphotos-d-a.akamaihd.n...25091748_o.jpg Flower Class Corvette https://fbcdn-sphotos-c-a.akamaihd.n...70628811_o.jpg Superb Film Noir styled diorama https://fbcdn-sphotos-b-a.akamaihd.n...83370953_o.jpg Oops! https://fbcdn-sphotos-e-a.akamaihd.n...02552077_o.jpg A cutaway, lit Flower Class.

Wow! I looked up Wingnut Models as I wasn't familiar with their products and found a wonderful photo archive there of WW1 aircraft.

Some fantastically epic work there, and well photographed, I know how difficult it can be to get the details on models on to camera properly.
The Warspite is beautiful, I love the Grand Old Lady and that model does her justice for certain, if only she could have been saved like the Belfast was. Very nice Calliope, and that Backfire is beautiful. :yeah: |
I almost have no words for how awesome this is...
I only have one.... WOW! :o |
I like the work on the Ki-48 it is very hard to get the weathering that was common on Japanese aircraft to look good.I know I have tried a few times myself and it just never turned out the way I wanted.
The crashed B-17G is also a nice job it is a challenge to create convincing looking damage. And Fowler Class with the cut away sections that looks to be scratch built.I never had the patience for that.I have done some small scale scratch this or that for a kit but never a complete model. I wonder sometimes if model building is a dying hobby used to be you could find a few hobby shops in a city now you might find one in my county there is not a single one.Of course I think the internet may have run the brick and mortar hobby stores out of business the ones that got into online sales survived. |
Words don't do this justice!
