History in the Making
To mark the anniversary of the Revell brand, we held a competition of any Revell kit made by a club member.
The Winner was Duncan Baird-Murray with his 1/32 Gloster Meteor
Second was Prem with his Viper and third was Andy with his Bismark.
Another good turnout. The next competition will be the main one in November which will also include the Spitfire build.
The competition is open to any kit that has a British link (however tenuous!!)
1st place – Simon James – Thundebird 4
2nd Place – Duncan Baird-Murray – Spitfire
3rd Place – Darren Turnbull – Wild Goose
The photos are not up to the usual standard of the club pro, so I am expecting a small “word” from him shorlty.
Well done to Prem for getting the Gold in the Ukranian competition
More details can be found in the News section.
Once again the show was held in the 3 halls at Thornbury Leisure Centre on the 3rd August 2025.
4 of us stalwarts turned up for the day for some serious shopping and perusing of many clubs displays. A large amount of gaming was also in evidence.
Paul put his Corsair in the competition as well as Duncan with his Zero. Simon entered his Nashorn in the Armour section but was put in the diorama area as it had a tree and 3 figures.
Simon came away with pride of having entered and bot Paul and Duncan got first place.
Although a fair distance, this is a good enough size of show to make the journey worthwhile.
Yet another good show with no issues of the previous fire and the cafe running well from the temporary portacabin.
A good selection of clubs and traders with the museum exhibits always worth a look at.
Congratulations go to Paul and Duncan for coming first with the Mercedes and Japanese Zero.
We also had a visiting number in the shape of an Alex Payne.
This years winner was Prem with his M3A3. More info in the News section
Another good show with 5 attendees and a few visitors. It was good to see Mark Husband visit.
The unveiling of the cube “Long Live The Cube” went well with team though the response from the hall was not the major stampeding and chanting as we had hoped. Lesson learnt was that a bigger stand is required and probably a bit higher.
Congratulation go the the Great War SIG who got best disply.
Another interesting night with a figure painting demo by Luke
Another successful show held at Crossfield Hall, Romsey.
Set up on the Saturday was a much quicker affair with everyone knowing what is now needed to get organised.
Sunday started off smoothly with all the traders and clubs arriving to set up and complete the displays.
Once again, the galley provided a sterling service with drinks and the famous bacon rolls and burgers. The chief bottle washer did appear a little bedazzled with all the hours spent stirring the onions to a finely tuned mush reminiscent of a muddy diorama mixture.
Competition Winners
This years competition was held on the 15th May with the criteria of having an English link.
The winner was Tony Adams with his Airfix Gannet
Second – Luke Hayes with his Hurry Up and Wait diorama
Third – James Meddings – Calm Before the Storm
Luckily, this time we convinced the Competition Secretary to wear a shirt that was allowable on the internet!!
