Scale Modelworld 2014

As just about everyone in the modelling world will already know this weekend sees IPMS (UK)'s flagship show, Scale ModelWorld at Telford International Centre, TF3 4JH.


IPMS Birmingham will, as usual, be displaying at the show, our stand being situated in Hall 1, Block E. As always our members will be happy to chat to visitors and share modelling techniques or discuss the pro and cons of the kits used. A frequent talking point is Steve Newton's scratch built models and the remarkable effects he achieves, for example turning plain plastic card into totally convincing wooden planking (people often think it is actually wood).

On a practical note it is worth mentioning that IPMS members living in the Telford area are reporting via the likes of Facebook that there are extensive road works being carried out around the centre of the town some of which direct effect the approach to the show venue particularly,  St Quentin Gate with temporary traffic light controlled single file operation. Additionally according to the Telford Roadworks website work is scheduled to be taking place on Junction 4 of the M54 (the exit used by most visitors) and also at the junction (traffic island) of  the A464, A442 and Queens Drive. So it would make sense to allow extra time for your journey.

Car parking; we understand, again from local members, that a new multi-storey car park has been opened nearby, opposite the Cherry Pink Car Park, the Parkopedia, Telford website gives details of all public car parking in the centre.

Have a great weekend and we look forward to seeing as many of our friends, old and new, as possible at the show.
