Looking forward to the trip up to the show, after ticking Moira off the bucket list this was the next aim. As Joe mentioned we'll have a few new products ready for the show too!

I like that alot, a few in those colours around here still

Great trip down to Spalding, and first time trading at the April show. Some really good feedback coming from people about the kit's we are offering and strong sales throughout the day. I didn't get away from my stand the entire day, which is great from a sales perspective but meant I missed out on seeing any dioramas. From the photos it looks like there was some great pieces on display! Really good crowds too, from what I've heard it was over 850 people through the doors? Roll on the next show which for me is Aberdeen on the May bank holiday weekend.

Great to meet you and put a face to the name! Hope the conversion goes well!

Fantastic work Joe, and very nice to see. As others have mentioned its great that you've managed to get the mechanism to function too! You've got a career as a design engineer ahead of you if you get bored of retirement

For anyone at a loose end in the North West tomorrow there is a model show in Shap. I believe it will mainly be truck models. I am going with some of my scratch builds and Marge models. Will grab some photos if anything catches my eye!

Pleased with how this ones coming along!

Some great detail there Ian, lovely work

I'll have the Braemere Models stand there, hopefully with a few new pieces!

Awesome stuff Hugh, makes a nice addition to the kit, that will be one seriously specked tanker once you're done with it!

Fantastic Sean, they've come out really nice

Brilliant job Mark, very tidy finish!

Looking like a cracking shed Phil, great work!

Some new treads on the Welly Unimog, pleased with how these have turned out. Properly scaled 495/70 R24 wheels (41mm diameter) were way too big so these are a nice compromise at 37mm. Just got to get the facelift bonnet kit finished now!

Not so sure about the 8RX theory Phil, the info I've been hearing from people in the sales industry is that whilst the initial release sold well noones been rushing back to buy more, with virtually no new sales this year. The price of wearing parts, particularly tracks, and lies about how long a set of tracks will last, particularly at speed, being quoted as the main reason for not buying again.
