Hi Guy,
Yeah I was gutted at not being there.
For the past two weeks I've been trying to shake off a cold and cough.
Earlier this week I thought I'd cracked it, but it hit again on Thursday. There was no way I could have driven there, stalked the halls for three days then drive back, especially as my other half caught it as well.
I had planned 5 models, including my recent Sopwith 'Swallow', to be on the 'Great War SIG' display as well as entering my 'skeletal' Fokker D.VII into the Class 29 competition.
Nice to see your shots of so many great models and I have to agree with you - judging at these competitions sometimes does defy modelling logic.
Congratulations to all of the modellers for showing, competition or not, what this 'hobby' of ours really is - art.
Mike
