    One of the stands had an impressive display of large scale, scratch-built tanks:
    IMG_1543r.jpg IMG_1544r.jpg IMG_1545r.jpg IMG_1546r.jpg IMG_1547r.jpg
    He'd also scratch-built this impressive futuristic beast:-
    IMG_1629r.jpg IMG_1627r.jpg IMG_1542r.jpg
    ... right down to the chainsaw on the back.

    Another scratch-build was by one of the Plymouth MSS members. It was a 1/40 scale high angle gun emplacement, as it would have appeared in one of the Plymouth batteries of 1895.

    We also had some superb models to buy from El Greco Miniatures, CGS Military Figures and Bonapartes. Unfortunately, the photo of the Bonapartes' stand was corrupted:-

    In conclusion, a few shots of the Plymouth MSS stand.

    It would have been nice to stitch them into one overall shot, but there was just too much going on in the background.

    Finally, many thanks to all the Traders and Exhibitors for making the show so very enjoyable. I believe it was the best one we've had for a number of years.

    Cheers,

    I took them for reference as you don't see these every day, I will be going to Fortress Wales in May, hoping to get more photo's. You have to be careful though as there are a lot who could not care for authetic impressions.

    Great pics Bob

    Tried to get this Regt to Bugle Call but the troops didn't want to travel for a one day show ?

    Glad they were at Plymouth adds something extra to the day

    Nice pictures! Word of warning though - Should never parade without flint, and musket at half cock. Also, the sword isnt seated in the shoulder belt correctly - the belt should have an 'eyelet' for the brass knob on the scabbard!

    I used to reenact the ACW and have an eye for such things and I am very critical. I don't think the shoulder belt is the correct pattern or it has not been finished properly. There are two camps in reenacting, those who strive for perfection and those who just play at the game.
    It nice though to show how the kit sits on the soldier
    Thanks for you appreciation.

    Nap, that's a shame as it does add some thing to a show. I know that some time's they use these sort of event's to recruit for their own units.
