Hi Everyone,
Whilst at " Scale Modelworld " at Telford, the Reverend David, my carer (wheelchair bound for the show, unfortunately) and I queued for a long time at the Zoukei Mura stand. After an hour and a half, we became numbers 66 and 67 in the queue, unfortunately Zoukei Mura only brought 65 HO 229's with them,to the show.
All was not lost, as this diorama won gold in Class 83 ( Diorama-people ) and IPMS Swidnica (IPMS Poland's ) Trophy "Best WW I Aircraft " . Ironic really as I did not know if it would go in:- Diorama_People, Diorama-Aircraft or Diorama-Cars !
I am now starting an HPH Ohka Model 43-K1, as two good friends managed to persuade HPH models that I was a "safe bet " to build for review in a couple of U.K. based modeling magazines. I am dreaming of the phrase " measure twice, cut once " as I face the moment when I have to cut into £200 worth of resin to make a two seat Ohka.from two individual model sets.
Regards
Phillip
