sipher172 Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 Seems a lot of debate on Facebook about the paying for dioramas at Spalding. Looks like it covers the entry fee for a couple of people, so that offsets most of the cost. I might have a business trip timed around the splalding show this year. If I can get direct flights I will plan to bring over a diorama. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack390 Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Just did a rough pricing of fuel to get there and back… almost 3 figures . Would also mean a 4am start to get there just in time for the start of the show if I was displaying. Don’t think il be attending Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 thats why i dont get up so much lately jack, usually means an overnight stay on the Saturday ,plus fuel, that in turn usually ends with all us weirdos get together in the pub, means another amount spent, normally not a small amount😆😆😆😆 and sore heads on sunday . 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sipher172 Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 Was nice to go to Spalding for the first time in about 10 years today. There were a lot more diorama than I ever remembered seeing before. Unfortunately I only had about 30mins there as I was rushing for a train. See a few snaps I was able to take as I rushed through. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 without starting an argument trigger, define overpriced ?… seems way to many want stuff cheaper than its prob worth of late , those pics all show to me what i would say is classic britains items and look mint , these sellers need to make a living and may well do that by selling this stuff . if its to pricey for your pocket go else where, you aint made to buy it as we always say on here, no ones got a gun to your head ,well that we know of when the “got to have mist “ kicks in 😂😂😂😂 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any implement out of production seemed to be over 100 GBP. I think I have been spoilt buying models directly out of China, where prices don't seem to have increased much. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
