The Magnificent Seven?
Well done to Liz, Jeff, new member Mick Hazell, Sean, Mark, Les B and Steve who attended the Avon Show at Thornbury Leisure Centre and pulled together to produce a teriffic show stand.
IPMS Avon had asked us to recreate our eye-catching display that won the Jessie Wright Trophy, for the best club stand, at last year's SMW at Telford. With a little chopping and changing, along with a number of replacement models - and a new balloon! - we were able to oblige.
With a third Hall, that housed more clubs and traders, more space was given over to the competition tables.By combining modellers and wargamers at a single venue, Avon have created one of the largest and enjoyable shows in the modelling calendar.
Great Results for new boy Big Mick!
New member Mick Hazell was a roaring success on the competition tables.
His Viking Beserk and Lord of Lions came second and third (closely beaten by Kevin Peart) in the Bust category. While his Medusa vignette gained a creditable second place.
