We're home.....
Today we went to the IPMS Nationals (Netherlands). We had a great day and it was nice to see all the familiar faces again.
We had quite a nice area (6 meters !!), a good atmosphere and the place was packed with visitors.
To be short...the perfect day.
I'd like to thank all the boys and the girl who made this possible and those who visited us today.

Nice show. Looks like there was a huge array of really well done modeling.
Glad you had fun - thanks for the hard work.

Hi Job well done on posting the photos , it is nice to compare to our own UK IPMS Nationals , ie Scale Model World. I recognise many of the faces but I am unable to put names to them all.
I hope that some at least will be attending our show at Telford next weekend.
