I can't see why this only got commended! Still, a very interesting model, yes I did read the sign. :D

I had absolutely no idea why this didn't win the whinsical section :?
"What the hell is that?"
"It's a model icebreaker sir."
"It's a bit big isn't it?"
"It's a full scale model sir....."

Does anyone know how these items are judged cos I think the row of terrace housing should of won but that shambles of a garage won with the door bells. Surely rewards should equate to effort time and detail did they not see the detail and time and effort that went into this model. It was fantastic and to a scale 0f 16mm to the foot!

As someone who wasn't able to get to Stonleigh I was amused to see Brian's video.

Clearly Mr Firth has likely spent a good deal of time and money carefully researching his massage car in the field, and no doubt in magazines and on the internet too.

Even if he didn't win we should thank him for giving those of us who haven't visited such an establishment an insight into the activities at such a place.

Excellent!

Ian

Thanks for that Brian, I only took a "still" image and tried to explain it to the wife - the video does a much better job! :D

I agree with Methssniffer on the buildings comparison, the row of terraces were A1!
Does anyone know the manufacturer and / or a supplier of the Austin?? car on the garage diorama ?
