Nice to see some of the HäT figures here. I wonder if that's an Armourfast Cromwell too?

Before and after! The Jagdpanzer IV is a favourite AFV of mine.

I like how the modeller of this diorama has shown the different soil strata here. Geology played quite a role on the Western Front.

There is a diverse range of Special Interest Groups. Ones that I have seen over the years include Spitfires, the USAAF in England, WWI, Luftwaffe 1946 and even South African aviation.
Here's something for the 1:72 fans to drool over. Birmingham's Mr. Models extensive stall:

And now to the competition area. Unfortunately I didn't get a lot of time to look around here so this is all that I've got.
Firstly, a huge 1:32/1:35 airfield diorama. The organiser told me that this is just one of three panels!

This is just a sample of what there was to see at the show. This is a bigger model show than Darlington's Sword & Lance and the hall is also larger than that which hosts Border Reiver. Plenty for the modeller, collector and wargamer to admire.
