21 October 2017, 20:17
Spanjaardthis is just the beginning, i have not gone to see the contest models yet for example😉
shame on me, i also did not take any pictures of Christian's job, or the other German Gamblers, still time tomorrow 🙂

Rui SThx for sharing Spanjaard. 👍
This rotate problem is really annoying for those like me that use laptops to see the photos.
Its really painful to look at such good dios in the wrong way...
21 October 2017, 21:21
iceNot many helicopters but that HH-60H is looking really good!
Thank you for sharing the pictures! 👍
21 October 2017, 21:31
Spanjaardonly a few details more than your SH-60B...😉 i was actually thinking on you when i shot the picture 🙂
tomorrow, i hope to have a good view at the contest area... and probably i will get some choppers there too 🙂

Christian BruerYou're welcome Spanjaard. Amazing start in the 2nd day. Almost 2.000 models in the competion
22 October 2017, 08:52
Choppa Nutta......."Almost 2.000 models in the competion " !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
holy cow, how many judges I wonder ? 🙂
22 October 2017, 12:12
Christian BruerDon't know but they need until the late evening to judge all the figures and models.
22 October 2017, 12:24
Martin OostromAnd ungrateful as well I guess. Almost 1999 sad competitors to cope with 🙂
Unlike over here, we're very grateful Spanjaard for posting. 👍
22 October 2017, 13:07
Spanjaardaccording to latest figures, it was more than 2000, around 1700 figures alone
pictures of the contest, as soon as i can check them 🙂
last but certainly not least, congratulations Christian on a well deserved award!!

Spanjaard1-27, walk around the place on saturday
28-44, special guest area
45-49, rpmodels, incredible 3D quality
50-68, german gamblers area, some of those may be familiar to everybody, since you have seen them here already😉
68-304, contest models..... just a small part of the 2000+ models.... amazing.
305-321, some more models that i found in different club stands etc.
last two pictures, were not part of the show, were "samples"in the workshop hold by Christian Gerard, excellent modeller, great teacher, and above all, an truly fantastic person.

iceThank you for adding so many more pictures. The level of skill shown in this contest is frightening. I wouldn't want to judge.
22 October 2017, 20:09
Spanjaardyou are very welcome. frightening??, not in the slightest 😄. just the sheer volume is crazy, and adding the incredible level on top of that....how they can choose among that much quality????.... i do not want to even think about it!
22 October 2017, 20:13
iceThat's what I meant - frightening good.
And some very nice helicopters you brought us there - special thanks for that. 🙂
22 October 2017, 20:27
Spanjaardthere were not many (specially compared with figures), but i did my best to catch them all specially for you 🙂
22 October 2017, 20:29

Patrick HagelsteinIk heb 'm dit jaar moeten missen, maar bij het zien van de foto's voelde ik me gelijk weer in Veldhoven. In mijn ogen blijft dit de beste show van Nederland. Bedankt voor de foto's Spanjaard!
24 October 2017, 05:53
SpanjaardGraag gedaan Patrick 🙂
Ik heb alleen ESM (veel jaren) en SMC gezien (eerste keer). SMC is zeker, het beste.
24 October 2017, 09:12
Bart TeunisOlla Spanjaard, goed om te horen dat je het naar je zin hebt gehad op de SMC en we hopen je ook volgende jaren te mogen verwelkomen..... jammer dat we elkaar niet (bewust) gesproken hebben. Ik stond achter de lifecolor stand en ben ook lid van de SMF 🙂
24 October 2017, 09:27
Holger KranichWhat a pitty, i wasnt there... Amazing models on display! I cant tell which one i liked most!👍
24 October 2017, 12:09
Choppa NuttaI love all the derelict stuff, and some of the dio's & figures are just awesome too 🙂
Many favorites but this one I thought was particularly attention grabbing -
[img1]
24 October 2017, 13:33
Choppa Nutta...... if only SCM had a feature in the Album's that could do a 90 degree rotation 😄
24 October 2017, 13:34
Spanjaard@Bart, zeker, volgende jaar ga ik naar SMC, 100%. Misschien, kunnen we een SCM vergadering doen in 2018 🙂
@Martin, thanks 🙂
@Holger, you should have visited. i will certainly come back next year 🙂
@Choppa, you are right. but i guess it is not easy to be done, otherwise Tim would have done it already.
that figure was certainly incredible, and the picture is not as good as it was face to face. but i may have a hard time choosing between it and [img1] Simply amazing (picture is pale compared with the original).
There is another that also it is worth being mentioned. [img2]. hand made and painted by the author. not a commercial figure like the majority of the other entries in the contest.
24 October 2017, 17:04
Choppa NuttaYeah the red one is also awesome too, love all the artwork over it,
figure sculpting is tricky stuff, so many favorites ! 😄
24 October 2017, 17:25
Bart TeunisAnd guys remember in 2020 the world expo will be in the summer months at the same venue as the SMC
25 October 2017, 07:16

Album info
a few pictures that i managed to shoot today at Scale Model Challenge. sorry for rotated pictures. in previous occasions, i have been able to resolve it. but today, no matter what i do, they remain rotated.
1-27, walk around the place on saturday
28-44, special guest area
45-49, rpmodels, incredible 3D quality
50-68, german gamblers area, some of those may be familiar to everybody, since you have seen them here already 😉
68-304, contest models..... just a small part of the 2000+ models.... amazing.
305-321, some more models that i found in different club stands etc.
last two pictures, were not part of the show, were "samples"in the workshop hold by Christian Gerard, excellent modeller, great teacher, and above all, an truly fantastic person.
really sorry also for the use of flash, and for some pictures not being really clear... light conditions were far from optimal. if you think those were models are good, you should see them in person.... my pictures do not give justice to some of those!
