One-Oh-Four Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 (edited) Euro Model Expo 2016, Heiden, Germany. On April 2nd and 3rd, the annual modeling show in the small town of Heiden, Germany was organized again. As usual, it was a very nice, laid back show with lots of German, Belgian and Dutch modeling clubs presenting themselves. Of course, there also was a competition and lots and lots of traders! IPMS the Netherlands had a stand: Some pictures from the competition: The rest will hopefully follow tomorrow as I experience some difficulty in the communicating skills of my iMac and iPhone with Photobucket!!

One-Oh-Four Posted April 4, 2016 Author Share Posted April 4, 2016 Thanks for posting Erik, some great stuff there. Like the Mig-27 myself but I'm a sucker for Soviet era jets. When I've imposed my will on my iMac, my iPhone, Photos in combination with Photobucket there will be some more Soviet / Russian jets.... thanks for sharing Erik. You have any entries? No, as usual, nothing finished..... Nice Erik, Just waiting for Jeroen to pick me up to go to Heiden, in about 15 minutes. so won't be seing you today. Bummer. Cees You know where my house lives.... Liked the show, good to see your pics Erik, as some models were not present today such as the Privateer. Really wanted to see that one. Ceed It was the 1/72nd Revell/Matchbox kit, built by Henk de Jong. Looked nice, as did the PBY-5. In fact I liked that one even more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One-Oh-Four Posted April 4, 2016 Author Share Posted April 4, 2016 On with the Competition! It seems I won the electronic war with the iMac/iPhone/PhotoBucket..... But I feel 20 years older now...! I'm sorry for the quality of the competition photos till this one. This table just had bad lighting for photographing models, resulting in ugly shadows and bad flare. Although I'm in the possession of some pretty good Nikon gear I find that snap-shooting models on shows is generally easiest with my iPhone 6 Plus. Because of the small sensor and the vibration reduction the pics are generally sharp with enough depth of field. The drawback is of course less dynamic range, so if the circumstances deal you with lighting that is less than ideal you pay the price.... But hey! at least I don't have to lug several pounds of camera, lens(es), flash and tripod around! So, these were the models in competition that i took photographs of. Now on to the clubstands! Cheers, Erik. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It even won a Silver medal there! *Snigger!* As you can see, there were quite a number of Japanese subjects on show. That was because the theme of the weekend was "Japan".

GusMac Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Wow Erik, that's a lot of photos, but some great stuff there. Not a huge fan of naval stuff but some beautiful examples there, especially the Graf Spee and cut-away U boat. Lovely Viggens - wish someone would do a 1/32 kit. Thanks again for posting, Gus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
