It was off to the Lincolnshire Model makers Show. It is one of those shows where you never know what you will see so it is always a surprise! 

First off was this display of traction engines, stationary engines and other steam related vehicles.

I have never had the urge to build something like this but I can recognise the skill and dedication these things take!

There were some dolls house related displays as well in 1/12th scale.

Any one need some fish?

An old style nursery room.

Out of the nursery and into the Dragon's Den!

Keeping on the railway theme, I really did like this layout, Drinkallby West.

It was a compact layout but presented like a picture with a frame around the scene and with the way it was constructed and presented you could stand there with nothing happening and still be drawn into the scene. 

Talking to the builder, this was a layout built during lock down, as so many where!

Most layout builders tend to set their layouts in the warmer parts of the year so to see a layout with snow is unusual but there was one at the show.

Moving onto military models, there was a good show of various types. This diorama took an interesting take on a war time scene with children using a tank as a play park!

Another interesting take on Germanys development of Wonder Weapons was this Star Wars vehicle that was painted up in German military colours. It is the sort of thing that some speculate that would have come out of the design rooms for far fetched military vehicles.

The thought that goes into creating dioramas must be difficult in finding an idea not already done but this Tiger tank being painted was something that I have noit seen before,

Building a lot of models can lead to a storage issue and one way to create space is to sell them as this modeller was doing. £30 to £40 was the asking price which was probably the cost or less of the unmade model.
 

Not for sale but impressive was this collection of mainly aircraft models.

Circus models tend to be large as were these models of the transporters that move them. Very nicely made.

Finishing off with a couple of large scale radio controlled ship models, these two trawlers were large and detailed.

A great show and one were there some traders too which saw my wallet opened but more of that another day!
