Stabliofarmer Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 That's just gone straight on my list of must visit places. The Europeans really are leagues ahead when it comes to diorama making! Thank you for taking the time to take and share the photos Barry 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sipher172 Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 I managed to go to Chartres about 5 years ago, was one of the best shows I have been to. Seems in Europe they have a tradition of presenting small diorama, meaning there tends to be a lot more variety. When I was there, there were many stands selling spare parts or broken models. So was great if you like building models. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Francesco Fornelli Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 C'era anche parte della mia vecchia collezione in vendita, sui tavoli di Hans Sikkema. Peccato che le foto mostrino solo modelli di produzione recente quando c'erano tantissimi modelli obsoleti rari da vedere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a little last minute. I was going to stay in Paris and get the train there that day, but couldn't find any affordable accommodation, so I end up finding a hotel 15 minute walk from the Chartres venue. Flew into Paris Orly, train into Paris (Montparnesse) then down to Chartres.......very easy. I did prefer Zwolle if I'm honest, guess that was due to the company I had during the visit 😁 I felt Zwolle had more varied things to see and buy, but Chartres had more displays and dioramas. Worth a visit though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithy Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 I used to enjoy the show ,up till covid came along i had been about 15 years running along with Mr Reeve , we never had very long to set up on the Saturday about 2hrs so it was always a mad rush on the Sunday to get stand ready for the opening . Mid afternoon i used to nip off and have a quick look around and would normally find something to bring back . There was a good few dioramas back then , Mr Goodwin has been over a few times allow we both ,like Barry has said do prefer Zwolle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
