MODEL SHOWS – POOLE VIKINGS<br />
On Saturday April 13 th we will be taking our traditional trip down the A31 to Poole for the Poole Vikings Annual<br />
model show at Parkstone Grammar School. This is generally one of the better shows we attend during the year<br />
with good club attendance and lots of vendors (so remember to bring your wallets – or NOT!). Over the years<br />
we have been quite successful in the competitions so it’s well worth bringing something along to enter. We are<br />
likely to get 18 foot of table space ( hopefully in a better position to last year) . A full report on the show will no<br />
doubt feature in next month’s magazine.<br />

ST GEORGE’S COMPETITION<br />
April’s meeting sees our bi annual St George competition , so if you haven’t got a qualifying model yet you had<br />
better get your skates on. To be eligible you just have to build a convincing argument that your model has<br />
some link to the theme – i.e. England ( British , Scottish , Welsh and Irish subjects are allowed by default , until<br />
Scotland votes for independence) .<br />
ANDY ARGENT<br />
I for one am desperate to understand how he achieves<br />
such realistic weathering ( particularly with rust)<br />
This is definitely a night to bring your camera as Andy<br />
will be bringing along examples of his work.<br />
Book now to avoid disappointment…<br />
VISIT TO BOSCOMBE DOWN MUSEUM<br />
We have a real treat in store for us on Wednesday as<br />
we welcome Andy Argent to the club to give us a talk<br />
on him models and techniques.<br />
Andy (who Russell describes as his Nemisis) has won<br />
countless awards for his outstanding AFV’s and<br />
dioramas, most recently taking best in show at<br />
Yeovilton and NewMod with two different models.<br />
I am in the process of organising a club trip to the Boscombe Down Aviation Collection at Old Sarum Airfield . I<br />
have contacted the museum and assuming we can get 10 members along we will get a reduced entry fee and<br />
guided tour. <strong>The</strong> suggested dates are 27 th /28 th April or 11 th / 12 th May. For further details on the museum<br />
