Any body going to Euro Militaire this coming weekend if so see you there Class 14a.
Barney
Barney,
The economic picture doesn't include EM 11... sadly. Have a great time - it will be a blast. For you and those that can attend, it is my favorite hobby gig. You can count on some of the best figure and AFV work you will ever see, and the social aspect is a little different than the Motel 6 lounge at the usual Topeka/Tacoma/Tampa/Tallahassee get together ;D ;D ;D
I highly recommend staying local, for at least two nights, and pubbing at the main hotel - ask around at the show and everyone will guide you to the right venue for evening BS. The Scandinavian (with the party with at your own risk Finnish team nearby) contingent is something of legend, even when they aren't passed out on the billiard table; the Belgian's bring a blue shirted army of amazing talent and entries; and the Mediterranean figure guys are amazing.
Don't try to keep up with the Australians, fear Canadians napping on the couch, and argue football with the UK hosts... even though they can't pick a team to save their lives :)
I took my family the last time I went as we were on one end of a family trip, and even they were blown away (okay the Eiffel, Tower won overall award).
Sounds like fun. The only things missing are beautiful girls in thong bikinis eager to cater to your every whim. -- ssuR
Russ, he was on a "family" trip ! girls were kept safely in the background
Ask Barney when he gets back, no that won't work either his wife is with him ......... she must have heard of how well he was looked after in previous years!
Well Barney is probably too modest to post the news , but understand he picked up a Gold & Silver for his scratch-built military vehicles at this show.
Hopefully he will post some details & pics soon !
Why such a poor showing? Why not two golds? -- ssuR
Just back from the show and what a show :o!
Was looking for you "Barney" but couldn´t find you but of course I saw your great models and congratulations to the medals! Took about one hundred pictures - have to organize them a bit but here is one teaser of a superb diorama by a Spanish guy. The vendor section was just amazing as well. Will be back with more pictures soon.
Anders ;D

Nice stuff. I especially like that little rail truck.
