As the thread title says it's scale model challenge this weekend and I have a "good boy pass" for the weekend.
It's a show that's been on my radar for a while now!
Is anyone else going ?
If it's ok with you guys I'd like to blog the weekend.

It's more the traveling with mates and the road trip. The shows the cherry on the top to be honest.

Sorry Mack, can't get to this one. Of course you can blog the show on here, I have been 3 or 4 times in the past so I know what it's like . The Modelling standards there are fantastic, so get loads of pics for us. Say hello to George the barman if he is still there . One more thing, if you're eating the evening meal in the Hotel, then get the second sitting, it's still quite full but less than the first round .

Mr Tripadvisor here. Mack I don't when you're travelling back to the UK, but if it's Monday then you might just be able to fit this in: www.oorlogsmuseum.nl/en/home/It's only an hour away from the conference center where the show is, it's a darned good museum and would take about 3-4 hours going around. You could do it in less but that is what I usually need when I visit there. If that's too much, then there is this in Arnheim: www.airbornemuseum.nl/en/home This is a smaller museum but none the lest interesting. It tells the whole story of the Operation Market garden, there is plenty to see even some shot 17pdrs and a Sherman in the grounds outside. If you go for Arnhem and it's getting towards midday, then this place does a fantastic steak: cafe-sintjan.nl/It's in the middle of Arnhem and about 10 mins walk to the famous Bridge .

After 42 hours without sleep I hit the sack and slept like a log, now I've had my breakfast and ready to get into the show.
We went to the museum in overloon, but due to my phones battery go flat I have no pics, but I'll upload my mates when I get them.
More pics soon
I'm spending the weekend with Mario on the left of the pic and Adrian the bald chap.
It's a great atmosphere so far.
More soon.

Enjoy it buddy Looking where the show is I’m seriously tempted to set something up for this. My Grandfather served in this area in 1944 and I’d like to trace his route through France to Germany and Norway

I've just looked round the competition area, holy molie, there are some talented people out there. More of this later, There is a beer with my name on it
