Roy,

Great pics! Thanks... very entertaining and some great references in shading and highlighting from well done picture taking!

Looks like a very diverse group of painters judging from the great variety of subjects.

Thanks for posting.

Very Nice Pictures

Dear Roy,

Thanks for these pictures. They are very inspiring examples of the modelling hobby. I especially enjoyed the female civilian types and am amazed at the quality of the sculpting.

Roy,

I see Marijn is thinking out of the box again. His sculpting off Frank Zappa is truly art.

Roy, great pics, thanks for sharing. One thing I see at European shows that I don't see here in the states is there always seems to be a few guys set up painting. Is this done as a "seminar" type of display, or is it just for fun? Obviously they must fielding questions about technique and such. Is this a regular thing at shows across the pond? Thanks,

Jay,
at our show (AMSS) there is always a painting demo. We try to contract (no payment) a sculptor or painter to give demo for example Marijn van Gils, brothers Canone, Diego Ruina did it last year.
When i went to Euro, Roy is always sculpting, and members of a club are showing how to paint, build or do something.
There is always public who wanted to know more. And if give's some new people to the club.

Many thanks for continuing to look at and enjoy the picture galleries on my site...there are more galleries being added as I get the time. Also there are some very interesting galleries of featured artists.

Jay, generally that's a common feature at shows in Europe.
As for our own local show at Welling, we usually try to have a variety of demonstrators, for instance, painting, sculpting, AFV's etc.
They are usually very popular with the visitors as they are set up in an informal way, along with the traders and club displays, visitors are encouraged to 'take a seat'..have a chat about techniques or whatever and perhaps ask a few questions...it's a great way to get modellers talking and it's been a great success at our show and many others I've been to. I like to get modellers involved with some 'hands on' type stuff where they can try out various putties and perhaps add a little to a figure..it's all great fun and gets people to take a more active part in the show.

Roy,
I think the key words here, as you state, are "less fromal". We of course have one, or several seminars at the shows here, but they are simply what amounts to presentations. I'm not knocking that, I just appreciate the casual approach of having people there "tinkering" as a form of demonstration and a way to prompt questions. thanks for the info Marc & Roy!
