Our SMC 2017 Adventure – AMB in Eindhoven
It have been a long trip from the last march, when someone said: “why don’t we’ll go to Scale Model Challenge in Holland next october?”…
Well fourteen AMB’s members said: “why not?!……”
We didn’t know yet that Eindhoven would host the next World Expo in 2020.
Time has passed and, October 20th, twelve of us were ready for this modelling and friendship travel….
We arrived at SMC by car (really a long trip via Swizerland and Germany… more than 1000 km…) or by air (thanks Ryanair), so we can joke about being in part airborne and the other ones mechanized, like in OP. Market Garden… that was conducted by 101th ABD in Eindhoven’s area.
The NH Hotel Konigshof, where the show is located, is really enormous!, a plenty of rooms, restaurants, pub, disco and everything you need to have a confortable stay…
After some rest in our room, we went down to see the place of the show and the trade area…. We were really impressed!!!
Well Saturday and sunday have maintained the premise: the models were really of hight level and the trade area really stunning with almost 200 vendors of all kind of kits, figures and modelling accessories.
A single drama: how much we spent ☺
At the end of the show, some of us recieved prizes some not, some of us were happy some not, but this is the game!!!
And now some photos:
