Darlington Sword and Lance 23rd May 2026

[daveF]

Tim, David H and myself attended the Sword and Lance show at the Darlington Football Stadium last Saturday. Although the show has an emphasis on figures, there were plenty of models on display in other genres from the local clubs. There was also a good range of traders at the event. There was plenty of interest in SIG144 earlier in the day, including from some younger visitors, and good discussions were had with other modellers about B-50s, Beverley colour schemes and early USAF C-130s.

Tim and Emma's dioramas are always a focal point.

David's B-17 project just keeps growing. 9 this time.

I managed to put out every model I brought thanks to some ebay shelving units.

The competition had a figure/diorama slant, however there was this nice Victor in 144.
