Model Show 14th November 2010

In conjunction with the Museum’s exhibition of Bob Freidus’ collection, Mike Stamper organised the use of a large room in the Museum for a rather grand card model show.

Seven card modellers attended with a vast array of models. This was an unprecedented display in central London. Between us there were several tables full with probably more than 300 wonderful models..... too many to count.

We had a steady stream of visitors during the day. Unlike previous events where the ‘UK Card Model Group’ have had a presence at IPMS shows, this was attended by visitors to the Museum who had no previous experience of such a show. So there was a great deal of amazement from our visitors, who had never seen such models.

We were Mike Stamper, David Hathaway, Doug Holden, Kim Webb, Martin Kaye, Tim Crowe and myself, plus a group of family and friends.
