The show wasn’t about figures and modeling, but more about trains, plains, cars, trucks and boats.
But it is always nice to be able to show the public our hobby, and try to get a few in to it.
And on this way we promote bennosfiguresforum and FIGZ as well.
Because of this I didn’t post in the event section here this event, cause it isn’t interesting for us. On Facebook I made a small post, and Peter asked for photo’s, so I will do that here.
We had a realy nice weekend, and our team was Martin, Hans, Jan (Mabo), Benno with GF and myself of course.
On the show we also met Andreas (old Wolf) with his son, and Konrad with his wife.
A big supprice for all of us.
Now I will show you a few photo’s of our stand, not of the event cause that wasn’t interesting imo.
On fryday around 13:00 I arived in Lingen, Martin and Hans where already there.
So we could begin to build our stand, starting with the big diorama Hans is making.
It’s a scene from WW1 at Cambrai.
The diorama is stored in boxes, and waiting to get out
On a few tables we placed the wooden plates, and the background is installed
Then the puzzle by number starts
When the first wooden plates where full, the next plates are put in front
and slowly the battlefield of Cambrai grows…
Hans added the tanks, and Martin and I are builing the rest of our stand
When all tables where on there place, it turned out to be a large stand, so I mailed Jan to bring more stuff, hahaha
Hans was happy smiling in front of his diorama
From above you have a great view over the diorama (3,60 x 2,40 meter)
I put my Asterix figures on the table, on shows like these this is always a great hit.
My Romain Army is growing slowly…
to take it up against this few Gauls with magic drink.
And here is our promo team at work:
Hans at work behind his lamp….
Hans when his lamp is a little bit higher, every time a funy picture… hahaha

And the display of some of our work, of course groupbuilds!

The public did love it all…
looking at the diorama
or taking pictures of my Asterix figures, it almost looked like I am a good painter, so many compliments, that is the best when people don’t know about paining figures, hahahaha
And people could try to paint there own figure:
in total 55 figures where painted this weekend by all different visitors.
I did paint 5 figures between talking to a lot of people, it was fun!
Thanks Martin, Hans, Jan, Benno and Kristina for this cool weekend.
