Last weekend, one of the biggest shows in the European calendar was held in the south of England - Euro-Militaire .

From what I have seen on Armorama, it didn't actually happen.....

Every other site has a series of photos posted by their registered users, every other site has some news about new releases announced at the show. Here, unfortunately - zilch.

I have just been reading an excellent report on PATCON including a number of photos (on this site) Euro - Militaire is notable by its absence...

Now I can't believe that with over 5400 registered users (a large number in the U.K. and a considerable number in the South of England) only one person saw fit to post photos.

Prior to Euro-Militaire I posted a thread asking who was going - one or two replied....

Maybe I am wrong, perhaps shows like this are without any interest . However from what I gather, the show was as well attended as ever - with the notable absence of a (sizeable) presence from Armorama....

I'm sorry if this thread seems carping. Not everyone has the time, money (or even the inclination) to visit shows. I was expecting some kind of report (even a few pics) ...Jim

Thanks for pointing that out Jim, I really enjoy looking at pictures from different shows. And from those pics by AVRE165, it looks like there were a lot of very unique models out there, not the usual stuff you see on shows. It's a shame there isn't any coverage of it here on Armorama.

A big thanks to AVRE165 for bringing us those pictrues.

Ask and you shall receive:

Sorry they didn't get up sooner, but after arriving back in the States at about two AM and having to go back to work, I was a bit short on time.

Hopefully each night I can add about ten or so shots.

Euro militaire is fine being in the south of england but it aint easy to get to i dont have a car and to make it on the train is un feasable for me ,it would take me most of the day to reach the show then it would be time to catch the train back ,and stpping over is not an option as some of my of my family have disabilities ,my brother for one needs me through the night ,i would love to go to shows but they just arnt accessible where i am! so thats me out!
