Elvington Model Show, 15 August 2010

Hi Guys,

 

 

At Huddersfield, I gave our club as a possible attendee at the Elvington Model Show if it ever came into being.

 

Well it has, and as a result I have booked us 4 tables + 6 chairs at the show.

 

Latest interest was 91 tables booked between clubs and traders, so quite a large show it seems.

I am in process of finding out about car parking, exhibitor passes, location at venue, etc. 

 

Known interested members attending stands at 4 so far.

Website Model Gallery

I have finished upgrading the club website Model Gallery so it is now available for viewing.

Please accept my apologies if any of the original images have been moved or removed as I have had to re-create the gallery. I do have a backup so if anything is missing, just let me know and I will sort it out.

I have updated some of the other pages so go have a look and let me know what you think.

Photo Gallery Not Working

I am currently upgrading the website and as a result the Photo Gallery section will not be available for a while. As soon as the upgrade is complete I will let people know

Portable Spray Booth - In Action

Well I have finally got around to using the Portable Spray Booth I mentioned in an earlier post and as promised here is a quick review of how I got on.

I am really pleased with this bit of kit. During a recent spraying session, it appeared to cope well with filtering the spray and fumes from the room, even though it is only passing the fumes through a filter without ducting to the oustide.

At the end of the spray session, the room did still have the odour of paint and thinners etc but there weren't clouds of spray like before.

I have attached a short video clip showing the booth running to try and give you an idea of the noise this thing makes. If the video doesn't show it well, I can say that the booth is fairly quiet.



All in all a great bit of kit for a very reasonable price I think.

Small or what!

Thought that you might like to see this 1/35 R75 type motorcycle that I am in the middle of building.

It is a bit smaller than the others that I built as you can see.

The kit is from Lion Roar and you get two of them.

The motorcycle contains 87 parts including photo etch.

The first photo shows the wheel construction.

The old eyes are suffering.
