Saumur 2006

[Bruno GILARD]

Hi Guys !

The international Saumur-2006 exhibition of military vehicles models, was a big success !

Record beaten for the number and the quality of the kits and dios presented , record beaten for the number of visitors...

Numerous models and dioramas in the small scales (1/72 or 1/48) were particulary impressive ! :o

The visit of the museum, of its reserves (an incredible quantity of vehicles!), the dynamic demonstrations of vehicles, once a day, were also very great moments !!!

On the other hand, there were too many things to be seen and too many friends of the french forums to be met...
And my camera which began to work badly...
So, I did not practically make photos. :(
Only some of Pz IV details and of the dynamic demonstrations...


But here are two posts (from a french forum, "Les Colleurs de plastique") with numerous photos (directly in the messages or by links) :
