Administrators JeroenPeters Posted September 8, 2013 Administrators Share Posted September 8, 2013 Hi Guys, Today Cees and myself went to the yearly KMK Modelshow in Belgium. A treat. As always. 10:00 arrival. Ordering two large pints to steady the hands. Lots of vendors, demo's, models, tools and tasty sandwiches. I did not take a lot of pics and the pics I did take were taken with the iPhone. But thanks to the beers, they are pretty steady. First off we talked to a guy who modeled a Hotchkiss tank in the computer and has them printed out 3D through Shapeways. AMAZING detail!!! Wow.. For a comparison he put his parts next to Bronco's and Trumpeters' offering. The white / transparant is 3D printed. The spring in the Bogeys actually worked. And here are some random shots of stuff that attracted my attention: Scale 1:16: 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grant Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 I honestly think that how the display is devised and executed adds a huge amount to the finished article - I'm seriously impressed with the way the Pfalz is displayed, that brush aluminium Iron Cross with the cut out names etc is excellent. Great pictures guys, love the 1:16th Mk.IV and, of course, the Minion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators JeroenPeters Posted September 9, 2013 Author Administrators Share Posted September 9, 2013 Thanks for sharing these Jeroen. Sounds like you had a great time. Any items made their way home with you ?? Some seriously nice models on show and great talent. Martin. Hi Martin, Funny enough no.. I went to the Aviationmegastore on saturday and decided not to buy anything, since the next day i was visiting this show. Then, at the show i only bought some paint. I guess I'm spoiled rotten.

Administrators JeroenPeters Posted September 9, 2013 Author Administrators Share Posted September 9, 2013 1/16 Male Tank! Was that printed as well? Hi Dave, Nope. Home made resin. It even featured a hand releasing a pigeon from the right side / through a small hatch. Real nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
