I have just got the confirmation that we have 2 tables booked at the Huddersfield model show.
Date: Sunday 17 Feb
Venue: Huddersfield Sports Centre
Southgate
Huddersfield

This is the second biggest show in the country and a good day out, so if you want to come along and display some models, you are more than welcome.
Doors are open from 8:00 for traders and exhibiters, and 10:00 to the public. Show closes at 17:00.
Parking is tight so get there early
Andy will be trading his Model Cars stand as well, so bring some spending money

See ya soon,

Dave

Seems to be the norm on the wristband side.

Hmm, I think it would be a close call between Huddersfield and Milton Keynes I'm doing both so I shall make it a task to find out, sad man that I am... How do we judge? Number of displays?

Yep, looking forward to this. Just got back into modeling, so looking at the competition before I do any entering.
It'll be a couple hours drive but I'm always up for a road trip, especially with my son doing the chauffeuring in his big black Audi.

Just spoke to one of the show organisers, and it seems that not enough wrist bands were sent out by mistake.
As a SIG we have been allocated 4. I have 1, the other 3 will be waiting for us on our table. I will save 1 for our illustrious leader, Lee, leaving 2 spare if you want to come early for the set up.

Hi Nick,

I've not had the show pack for the SiG yet.

If there's a spare wristband when it comes you can have it.

Weather permitting I should be making the trip up, look forward to seeing you there.

;D Huddersfield 2013 - First time there - Wow, it was packed, buzzing and humming (in more ways than one).
The panic buying, pushing and elbowing on the outer trade stalls had the echo’s of the New Year Sales,
but I managed to secure an old ’58 AMT Impala.
Among the olive drab military displays and the weathered and airbrushed Silver and camouflaged aircraft shone a small beacon of bright light
.....the Hot Rod & Custom Car Sig Display.
The really shiny paint finishes and quality of work was brilliant.
Although I have been in and out of modelling for years my final paint finish has always been a bit hit and miss - so I was quite jealous.
I covertly snuck in and had a chat with you chaps - so thanks for the tips.
Well done to everybody that displayed their cars, even though I’ve seen photos on here, seeing them for real,
shows that pictures don’t do them justice.
Finally, I promised my wife that I’d only spend £50 on a couple of kits
- but I know Andy pocketed almost £80 for the four that I bought off him.
;D Thanks lads, for all your efforts in displaying. It’s much appreciated and was well worth the 3 hour return journey.
