Shows/Conventions/Exhibitions

We're going to the International Model Boat Show in Leamington Spa in a few weeks - wall to wall nerdiness - probably 90% undiagnosed Aspies attending.

That sounds interesting. Will you buy any models there or are you going purely to look at other people’s creations?

The Bead Show was good, albeit a bit busy! My daughter bought herself some more supplies and got me a kit to make a beaded tea light holder for Christmas. I already have far too many beads so I resisted the urge to buy any more but it was a good girly day out nonetheless.

Cool - so you've got a creative Christmas coming.     We're doing the boat show as well as Warwick Castle and Gaydon museum - a long weekend near Brum.     I doubt if I'll buy anything at the show unless it's a real bargain - it's more of a measuring of the state of the art to see what quality I need to produce for my next models.      I'm going CAD & 3D printing for the one currently on the slipway.

I can imagine that they are worth more than their weight in gold!

I hope you enjoy your visit to Gaydon!

I'm having massive Warwick castle envy at the moment, I might be able to tie it into another trip that I'm making later this year though, where there's a will, there is a way!

This is why I try to buy cheap abandoned kits form ebay - all those little bits are literally worth their weight in Gold!

Yes - looking forward to Gaydon - haven't been there in years so it'll be good to make it a combined visit - all sorts of eye-candy. 

OMG! that really is horrifically expensive!

Seems like you'll have double the fun at Gaydon with both cars and trains :-)
