Album info

The Garrison Model Show is held on the last weekend of August. 2022 edition is on 28th August. This album is to document the Show and it's venue, Camden Fort Meagher, near Crosshaven, Cork, Ireland. It is not a traditional model show in the European sense, not exclusively plastic kits and no competition aspect. Rather a better description is that of a multi medium exhibition or expo. All forms of modelling are represented and its more of a day out type event with big boys (and girls) toys.
