Scale Modelworld 2014 โ Part 6 (1/48 & 1/32 scale aircraft contd.)
This part of our coverage of Scale Modelworld 2014.provides an overview of 1/48 and 1/32 scale aircraft models in the competition area.
Don't forget to check all other parts of the series here.
It's beyond my comprehension how the judges can pick a 'winner' from all these fabulously done entries.
I totally agree with Craig on this one, who would want to have to pick winners from all that lot, they are all winners in my humble eyes.
Thanks for the pics Martin, hoped you enjoyed your visit to this not so sunny Isle.
Yes the weather was rather bad, but not enough to impress me, I'm from Sweden, remember? ๐
It's fun, but is it a model aircraft? Best Ffaltz Fuselage diorama?
I guess this belonged to an aviation diorama class.
Wow, so this was the Grand Masters' Table,. yes? Not one there that isn't superb. But that Pfalz diorama really is the best WW1 diorama I have ever seen anywhere, and having the cojones to cut up that kit to do that diorama means the modeler possessed great big solid brass ones. Wow.
Could be a lowly Roden, no?
Never mind it's a D-XII
The diorama was made by a fellow Milton Keyes Scale Model Club member and took 3 years from planning to final result, it is indeed a Wingnut Wings Pfalz that he used and he is a top chap!
Every single year people post up pictures purely of the competition area and completely neglect the rest of the show.
Glad to see this year is no different.
That's true Paul, but I think it is purely a matter of prioritizing the time. I'd know from a frist-hand experience how many hours it takes to cover the comp area. Properly including the club displays' part the would take more than double that time :). But they are a key part of the experience!
Paul, please see my postings. I tried to just wander around shooting clubs and SIGS and even trader stands that took my interest. Some exhibition subjects as well naturally, but frankly the light was not good in the exhibition room so I only took a few snaps there.
Rob, as said, thanks for filling in. I agree that the lighting conditions in the show room were really bad, especially on Saturday evening, I was hard pressed to do any photographic work.
I just want to thank Martin and the iModeler crew for giving us the opportunity
to see all these wonderful models. I hope we can look forward to pictures of the club displays in the vendor room, for me that's was best part of the show.
Rick,
Rob was kind to fill in with pictures from club displays etc., see his galleries in

Yes thanks Martin for sharing all these terrific images
Martin, thanks for all of these terrific images, really, they are great, but, aren't there any models of anything else but aircraft?
Of course they are, but I guess Martin didn't get to them yet. ๐
Great photos BTW,
OK, I can see that you've posted some more stuff, thanks again, Martin!
Sorry to say I didn't manage to capture the automotive classes this time. I'm making a mental note not to miss it next time ๐
Yes thanks for the great pics i hope everybody is save back home.
