Well done Tim! If I’m not mistaken this is the first time that a paper model has taken to slot versus other types of model and so for the UK ugly have broken new grounded indeed!
Serves as a massive incentive and encouragement for the rest of us to get involved at model competitions- brilliant mate!

Congratulations, Tim and thanks for all the photos!


Greg, St. Basil and The Sagrada Familia look like Domus Kits.

Thanks

Would love to take credit for first paper model award but other winners are

Adam for his Fuso best in show at Milton Keynes some years ago

and

Roman Models for his locomotive gain at Milton Keynes last year with best in class.

It goes back longer than you think !

Model Show Reports will give you a short "history" of the group.

This goes back to 2002, but there had been other shows before that.

Roger Pattenden and I received the "Best Display" award at a show in Dartford in about 1999

Here's another award - this was for the group in general. There is another one somewhere.

We also had an exhibition at the V&A museum - the first and only time an exhibition of paper models had appeared at a big London museum.

Cheers
Mike
