Brighton ModelWorld 2011

Here's a few pics taken today at Brighton ModelWorld show...


Roger Flaherty's little Revell 144th scale Type 212














Roger in full technical talk speak...that guy drove poor Roger to the point of insanity, trying to explain to him how Alf's boat worked...


"No, like I said earlier...the air goes in like THIS, water goes out like THAT...!


Attendence figures were a little on the low side, but the AMS stand always drew a good steady crowd of interested onlookers.

It was really nice to meet Dave Wright and his good lady wife, Roger Flaherty and his good lady, Ramesh (wheelerdealer)and it was so good to see Alf Blake again after all those years.

All in all, a good day out...I really enjoyed myself, and I'm looking forward to the next show already.

Thanks to everybody for making me feel so welcome, and thanks to Roger for his kind comments on the new website.

Hi Richard,

Very nice photos!
Looked like a good show and the stand looked nice. Congrats to Roger.

So you dined out there also, Richard.

You "high roller" you!

And Roger definitely deserves a Nobel prize (or maybe Oscar) for educating the public.

hi all the brighton shows was 15% up on all years + roger was good as well at the time i was not up to it he was a numtee. but roger got there in the end.well are now looking at 1.144. boats this will be fun at this time i am still at home on a truce for the time. hope all got home well

Six more photos, this time taken by Roger..

Might get myself banned here but just looking at the photos and I have one question do`s the gray hair come naturaly do`s it change by it`s self I notice that Ramesh is the only guy with dark hair, or is it all the worry weather your sub is going to surface that makes it that colour? or...........have I got to dye my hair that colour to become a member of the AMS ???? lol

Yes!!! I like it!

I could analyse our membership records, I suppose, to find the average age, but we don't ask peoples age or birthdate! There may be some young uns lurking in our database and we have women members too.

Speaking for myself the hair is no longer grey but is no more. Some would call it streamlined!

Your Membership Secretary.

No Dick, its knowing every one for so long that makes our hair go Gray, G/R just stay with us and after 10years you too can have a lovely Gray mop as well.

I did have a good head of hair until I meet up with you and Bernie,then it all went south,

I did ask my barber if he had any thing for fulling hair---------
