Nice to see another Armorama get-together.

Good stuff, always good to see people enjoy themselfs. Have you spotted how Hilbert has cunningly hid his beverage behind the little menu in the stand?.... He wouldn't be drinking an alcoholic beverage?... shhurley not.. :-)
And Faust's shirt should come with a Government Health warning... :-) :-) :-) :-)
Edit... I just spotted that they also seem to be displaying a great taste in Lager...if the beermat is correct..
Cheers
Henk

Splendid !! Be sure to visit us during a month when we have a meeting... we're the most friendly Armorama members around, so it's a must to meet us :-)
You're most welcome Andy... we'll buy you a beer or two while you're here.

Ola Guys
Yeah it was a fun day again. and it was cool to meet part of the gang again.
Looking at it I`m indeed looking like the one armed bandit :-) :-) :-)
And glad you all liked my shirt.
Andy you definately need to come to our little country and meet the gang. even when you don`t come on a day we have a meeting somewhere I`m sure we could get the guys so crazy to make up a meeting somewhere and visit a museum or something the like.
Had a good time and I even bought kits!! A Dodge Beep and a Dodge Personell Carrier. Some figs and some dry transfers.

Hi guy's sorry I wasn't in Deventer on time,
Yes I was in Deventer but I was a little late.
I planned to leave at 11am but that became 1 o'clock
after a trafic jam and a few wron turns I was in deventer at 4 but by then everybody had left and I was standing there (with SHMBO laughing her butt off).
So now you know why I wasn't at the meeting.
Sorry Martinnnn, Jurjen, Hilbert and Faust

I am really looking forward to seeing the Northern Hemisphere. I can't promise I will be able to see you guys as it will depend on time and money. But I would sure love too.
Dave I love your comment about "gardens" in Amsterdam :-)

Very nice to meet Dutch young blood but I think the guy on the right tries to catch the young spirit with his shirt :-) anyway,very good idea to leave ''old guys'' like Danny and DragonJohnnyWagon at home with wives. :-)
Thanks for the Armorama table on show

Hi Guys
The meeting was very enjoyable and fortunately I didn't spend that much. I came home with an Eduard T34/76 mod. 40 and a JR T34 barrel.
Lol, we were promised to have a 1x4 meter stand but we only got 2 round tables But we had to do with it :-)
Cheers!
