The second Morecambe Model Show. Held in the public library it is free to enter and has a great mix of visitors - dedicated model fans, interested passers by and lots of families. Makes for a very interesting mix of conversations and interested spectators.





I took a selection of builds not commonly on the show circuit any more, including the Fw-190D in the harbour which has rarely appeared at shows as it was always meant as more of trial build.





Emma took a selection of bucolic builds, including the Fire Station which dates from 2020 and maybe making its first ever show appearance - it garnered the most attention for sure!



The library wall backdrop worked great for Emma's Gundams.

Along with model club displays, there was a nice mix of models, wargame, model railways and more.





Classic sci-fi and fantasy figures.



Life size R2D2



Large scale model ships



Amazingly details dolls house creations

A really busy show and great fun, especially to get the models out to a wider audience.





Of course after the show we had to go for a walk on the front and get fish and chips!

Looks good. Am I right in thinking there wasn't a very big turn out? Does the sea tilt the other way when the tide turns?

Pretty busy turnout in terms of visitors all day. Not a huge number of clubs displaying, but its only a smallish venue. Hopefully more will come on board in future.

We caught them in the midst of a sea draining exercise, happens when the pull of the lunar tidal flow is countered by the longitudinal rotation of Jupiter in the third house of Aries.
