2008 Huddersfield Model Show

This show continues to grow and grow.  I remember when they struggled to fill half a hall - now it's bursting at the seams!

The SIG had its usual 4 table block (12' x 4'), but for this show we decided to lay the display out differently.  Normally, we line everything up parallel with the front of the display, and have 3 rows.  This time we went perpendicular so it looked like the aircraft were lined up on the ramp.  Whilst this meant slightly fewer aircraft, it looked quite good!

We also had quite a number of new models.  Graham Bullock brought his latest offerings and a few other members also contributed (let me know who you are and I'll amend this!)  I amazingly managed to complete 4 new models, although admittedly 2 of them need a little finishing off.  My T-46A and Mystere are completely new and the T-6A Texan II is now decalled and more or less complete.  I also finished an X-20 Dyna-Soar for the show and modelled it piggy-back with my SR-75 Penetrator.  I blame Haydn as he suggested it!

We were the subject of a great honour, as the IPMS UK Committee presented us with a Certificate of Achievement to honour our display at the 2007 SMW - apparently it was the largest single branch/SIG display ever put on - so THANKS! to all of you who contributed.

Next show will be Hinckley ... looking forward to it!
