We had a great show and came away with the Black Mike Shield for the best SIG display - 2nd time we have achieved this - we won it in 2022 previously.

It should also be noted that Huw - wearing his '580 Modellers' hat was double blessed as they came away with the 'Best Club' trophy !!

AND we ...

lovely job! another recruit to the SIG Yacht Club methinks. As a (mostly) aircraft modeller I find an excursion into submarines very refreshing and an excellent challenge. Revell is a good choice - I get the impression that their sub models are somebody's labour of love. They certainly garner lots ...

THAT looks to be a heckuva project Malcolm - looking forward to seeing how it goes.

Agree with you that more of us (me included) should post about builds - even if it's only a summary, always good to see how things go.

Mike

As ever Malcolm a lovely build - and such an unusual subject - thanks for sharing

that is a cracking job as ever Malcolm, and you can't have better reference than a personal tour of the thing !

moral - always have your camera handy!

and the merriest of new years to you all !

hopefully the long break will permit some surreptitious fettling !!

But remember not to leave the paint brush water out if aunt Gladys is coming for xmas drinkies !!

Wonderful!

I visualise your penguin, clearly the first to arrive at the scene, with a thought bubble.................'the lads will never believe that a bright red whale has turned up on the ice.........................'

It's actually a really good model - finding the one in Iranian markings during a trip to the US was one of the reasons I got into 1/144.

There are lots of Orion decals out there too!

Tuesday and MS Modeller has already got the video out

We get a good coverage too with many compliments !

SIG 144 comes on at around the 28Min mark - enjoy !

A great show - being held in one hall on a showground very reminiscent of the much-missed 'Newark' shows

Like Tim a number of my exhibits still had wet paint but we managed to field-trial the new hexagonal bases (long story - see 'sometimes you get lucky on KG144)
