Have to report what a great show Scale Model Factory is apart congratulating the award winners, guys this is the place to be for Ipms malta as it gas everything from figures, to maasive tables with excellent tanks and dios, ships, cars and also aircraft, infact best of show went to a well executed wessex heli! There were more then 700 entries from a good number of european countries, the creme de la creme from the dutch, german, belgians, french, spain, hungarian among many ... The expo has massive halls also filled with trade stands and clubs but the climax was the unique ambience a reconverted monastery made into an NH contemporary hotel with WIFI everywhere, it is massive more then 500 rooms, the breakfast and restaurants are top notch and the socialising aspect is equivalent to USA shows as everyone meet there especially Saturday night at the bars. The downside is that everything happen on a Sunday which is filled up like a boiled egg ... Myself had tho present my tutorial and then judging closed my timing a bit but seems this is to be arranged as next year they are developing tutorials and workshops on a Saturday and Sunday the frenzy of comp and shopping. They really welcome our gesture of donating a trophy which went to a german painter, a nicer aspect these guys have great female painters and quite a good number. But what is great this show is the welcome our dutch friends gave everyone ... It is a show made by modellers for modellers, I highly recommend attending, I surely will! Very well being predicted this is going to be one of the major european show very soon ...
