West Middlesex Scale Model Club

Poole Vikings

This was our first trip down the M3 and the A31 to the Poole Vikings Model Club model show. Les, Chris K, Dave T, Dave W (t'Dave), Martin, Michael, Christian and Graham represented us on the day with a wide variety of models.
Congratulations to Chris K for getting bronze awards in the competition for his submarines and science fiction models and Martin for his "commended" for his "Call the Midwife" diorama. However, this was eclipsed very late in the day (in fact some of us had left by then) with the award of "Best Club Display" in show to us! Well done all.

As always, well nearly always, we laid our models out in owner groups - so starting from the right - we have Dave T's collection

And to complete the line-up, Les (here showing the second arrangement after he had to squeeze them up a bit ... they were all strung out in a long line, just like they might in the war!)
