24th Slovenian Nationals
Every year in mid November, slovenian modellers gather for the annual Nationals, this time for the 24th time in a row. The event is one day event, situated a walking distance away from the old centre of Ljubljana. Slovenian modelling scene really is small comparing to the big modelling nations, with about 30 seroius modellers, 4 clubs and 3 modelling competitions organised each year. We are fortunate enough that modellers from other countries join every year, and this year we had competitors from Croatia, Italy, Hungary and from Czech republic as well. Hopefully the competition will grow bigger each year, so reserve your date for next year's 25th edition of Slovenian Nationals. We hope to see you there!
*This are just some of the models from the competition, just the ones that caught my eye...
And could you make it somewhere close to the finals? 😉
In aircraft dioramas yes...
Great to see the fine work on show - thanks Grega
Many talented modelers have displays there, sir...yours included I presume. 🙂
Yes, that A-7E on deck is mine... will be published on iModeler in the future.
Fantastic looking work indeed.
Thanks for posting this Grega.
Grega, thanks for posting this, there's some real talent on display. Also, I leaned something, I had no idea Rumania had Chinese built Il28s. Interesting scheme, too.
Small yes, but very talented!
Small show. Good models.
Thanks for posting this. I'll definitely consider going there next year. I love these smaller events and I haven't been to Ljubjana yet.
You are more than welcome, and I am sure you will like Ljubljana a lot! It is a city worth visiting.
Extremely high density of high quality models!
I love those tiny gliders! I've seen that kit before but never saw completed one in that quality
He made plenty of them. Last year he presented three slovenian ones based on those one, but they were almost entirely scratch built. And they are in 72scale...
Lovely show with great models. Thank you for sharing your photos Grega.
Good quality models on display, and it looks as though you had a very enjoyable day.
