There is a model show on Sunday the 13th August at the Aeroventure Museum in Doncaster (Yep were the "Huge kit sale" is see Harri's post HERE )
It's a nice museum and I will be there with the IPMS Armorama branch stand, so you have 3 very good reasons to go
Mal

might be able to make this one

keith

I'll be there Mal.
Time to dig out the thermos and the sandwich box.
Save me a bit of space please
Will the museum be open as well?
This should shift a fair few of the models in the kit sale,(if theres anything left after yourself and Harri have spent all your pocket money )
Hopefully we can get some more armour on the stand this time. I wonder if Vinnie will get the date right this time? :-)
Looking forward to this already!
Nige

Hi Kieth, I hope that you are able to make it
Nige, great see you there.
I've been offered an internet connection, in theory, I just need to find out if it's actually viable and if I need any cables of any kind
Let me know if you require directions, although it ain't to difficult to find, 'onest guv
Mal

i've just been on the ipms forums and noticed that a sig i joined is having its first run out at this show. its the classic british kits sig, run by a chap called bruce leyland jones, so i'm doubly gutted about not being able to get up there so if any of you guys would'nt mind saying hello on my behalf and send on my apologies for missing out on a meet (this also goes to the A- UK mob as well) i'd appreceiate that. i use the same username and have my real name displayed on their forum (its the same as what you see here) i may have dropped myself in it too because this sig will definitely have a table at telford, so i'd better get back to building!

No worries Phil I'll look out for them and pass on your regrets. Sorry that you can't make it, bummer
Mal

Mal - I will try and make. Now were is Nigel I'll bring some figures make the table look pretty

Ross

cheers for that mal, of course i may be able to do some olympic standard sweet talking so you never know.......

Hi Ross. It looks like I will be able to attend. PM me your address and phone number and we'll sort something out nearer the date

I might be able to go one thing thought ive got the aeorventure brochure and it says the model fest is on the 12th and the 13th of August and was told by staff member that it was both days. Have they changed the date?

I'm going to the Aeroventure tomorrow (Friday) so I'll clarify the exact date.
It's great to see that there will be a few 'Armoramarites' visiting. It's always nice to be able to meet you guys (and girls-sorry Samantha!) in person!

Harri

I'm going to try and get there, dependant on when we get back from abroad. Anything I can bring for the stand Mal?

Vinnie

Hi all

The model show is definitely on Sunday the 13th of August, which, I've just realised is the same day as the Grand Prix Masters race down at Silverstone, which I'm going to, so I won't be able to make it. Doh!

Harri

Samantha, it would be great to see you there Will you be able to bring any models?


Great Ross, figures will be good.


See you there then Phil, don't forget that it is imperative that we have your stuff on the branch stand


Anything Vinnie, just don't try and fill it up all by yourself, I'd like to get some of Ross's figures and Kieth's Dios on somewhere


Harry, what do you want to go to silverstone for, when there is a model show on your doorstep. You can go to silverstone anytime and "Grand Prix Masters" just sounds like it'll be old farts racing. You don't wanna do that do ya?
Mal

If i am able to come ill try and bring some models unless i come on motorbike. Ill try my best. Any particular models you would like ive got some anime figures and aircraft which have been in some magazines.

Samantha,
Any models that you can bring will be found a place, the anime figures will be particulary good as we have no one else doing them, but I would love to see your aircraft. So, basically, bring everything
If it's a choice between coming on your motorbike and not bringing any models, then we would prefer you to come without the models. I like motorbikes anyway
Mal

Ill see what i can bring. Hopefully going in boyfriends car so should be able to my boyfriend has a few anime figures that we could bring aswell if that s any help. Any particular time you will need the models for.

Hi all, anychance of some directions , I have tried to find it on Multimap but no luck , post code comes up as in the middle of a housing estate . I will try to come and bring something at least cheers ian

Hi Ian.
For you,,and everyone else coming along, directions can be found HERE
Looking at the website it looks like a very nice little museum.Should be a great day.
Does anyone know if admission to the muesum is included with entry to the show?
Nige

Hi Nige many thaNKS FOR THE SPEEDY REPLY , still cannot understand why multi map came up with housing estate north of Doncaster cheers ian

Mal

ill bring along the diorama from this feature on armorama

a simple diorama

which should help tie the stand into the site

plus ill bring a couple of smaller ones

regards

keith

Excellent Kieth, I love this Diorama. Anything you can bring will have a space I think I'll be talking Dioramas alot on the 13th
I will also see if we can get more space, which I don't think will be a problem
Mal

If I can twist a few arms (or maybe throw a sicky..) I might just make it after all. I feel a sudden urge to make a 'sentimental journey', seeing as the model show at Doncaster was my first modelshow I attended, the first Armorama 'attended' Modelshow (if I'm correct.. ) and a nice day out to boost. If I can make it I'll see if the buyer of my diorama will let me show it there before I send it to him. Or better still, I think he lives en route...

Fingers crossed...

Cheers
Henk

Hope to see you there Henk If everyone turns up this will be a really gathering of the clan There's a couple of guys from work who may show up as well and Harri, when he realises it's a better venue than old fart racing
Mal

Just found out wont be able to bring anything as something else has come up i said id do it ages ago and completely forgot about it. sorry
