Spalding show September 22
Mike Terry and David Hart had a good day out in the Fens at this small but very friendly show. We were able to show Terry's fantastic displays to great advantage as you will see from the attached photos - the Concorde / Red Arrows formation is, incidentally, flying over Terry's house! Spalding, sept...

IPMS Stafford 'Stoke' 2022
The SIg had a great day out at Stafford yesterday. Huw, David, Tim, Emma and YT managed to show nearly 250 models (a record we think - possibly more as some of Tim 'n Emma's dioramas counted as one but had several models on!) Emma's delightful buildings attracted a lot of interest, and it was notice...

off piste
Inspired mostly by the the work of Tim 'n Emma I've had a break from the usual stuff. Full disclosure. I found a damaged 'Gundam' type model I'd built years ago at the bottom of a box and thought I might give it a refurb. The 'head' had a full rebuild - I had it figured as a 'sighting and sensor' un...

Re: de Havilland models
what a superb display! - space limits at 'ordinary' shows rarely give us this depth of specialist coverage on a particular theme and it's a joy to see them all together. And what a setting - I gather the museum has had some improvements in recent years - I was last there maybe ten years ago and it w...

'Elf 'n safety.......not
It seems that ' don't drink paint' is too simple a message nowadays. Bought some Gunze paint the other day to find an annoying little tag taped to the jar. There are pictograms which suggest that it's corrosive (no wonder the GPO won't touch it) but when you unfurl the seemingly endless tape you fin...

Re: Sudanese AF MiG-21 and Su-25
very nice work Tim - I like the story behind each build and the suggestion of 'manyana maintenance' (not) going on at the MiG !

Tyneside 2022
June 5th A really great show to see back on the calendar - better yet Rob Sullivan gave us some extra space and the SIG rose to the challenge with gusto....we won 'Best Display' - and they don't muck about up their either - proper solid glass trophy it is too ! This is proving a bumper year for us -...

Scottish Nationals 14 / 15th May 2022
Great two day show - we had loads of space and carried off the 'Best SIG display' trophy shield (it's a cracker too) Huw, Alastair and YT showed something over 240 models. Alastair - on home ground - held up the SIG's reputation by winning a well deserved First for a superb Catalina, said model also...
memories
Agree re memories - I used to get to spend my schoolboy summer holidays at my Aunt's cottage - conveniently situated as it turned out a couple of miles from RAF Manston. The USAF were still there initially but after they left it became, amongst other things, a V bomber dispersal with QRA pads at the...
