Hey guys it’s Mel making time and today we’re at leads Aubrey’s the leads Mel Sh Lead’s modle sh is based at the r well actually it’s kind of in a building behind it there’s a of fun stre behind that and it’s inside this building but we have the model shap in today so starting off with Wakefield a club we’ve seen many times but the first time in

Its natural habitat I’ve never actually been to any of the sort of leads or Huddersfield shows before at least I don’t think I have and so this was a first Glimpse at seeing them in their own t they greeted you in the hall with this vibrant display a mix of naval

Aircraft and landbased models this Bas Mark right in the middle was what my Mr mof chose and I loved this Yak 38 twin seat variant this cronwell looked really nice and the Shadows on it just looked really epic I thought and then we have this tornado with this gorgeous tail art

And I just oh it’s so cute and then this Sky Rider love the weing for the engine next to them was White Rose I don’t know if I’ve seen this club before I think I have but it was pretty much just figurines which I always really like seeing because it again shows another

Side of modeling for vignettes and fig greens that we don’t really see this is a horse I’d heard nothing about and then I went and read the whole Wikipedia page about and I think that’s a really really fantastic point of modeling is just sharing the wealth of information and

Then this kb2 Workshop which again wasn’t the smallest pick for the table we’re now heading over to Darlington whilst there may not be a Top Gun Sig at this show there are L f14s on this table to satisfy anyone and I particularly love the weathering on this version on

Display here this is an Emy Greyhound something I did have to look up and I love this cam it just looks so alive absolutely stunning heading over to the wated sck who is situated next up we’ve seen a lot of these things on display at the previous show at Bolton but that

Stop there being new things to share and show with the world so a couple of things I really needed to show you today that included another um headbo early warning system Al awax variant and a couple of little pieces I just thought looked really nice you can see one of

Them there that’s the uh sort of variant of the 4 hs125 but this is a t-57 first of all I am slowly learning tanks but this one was brand new to me so again had to run off and weird about it and this is sort of a g Spitfire s racer

Sort of style aircraft and this is a h hs1 125 star a wax Airborne early warning system I absolutely adore it it’s so cute next over to Ram another sort of sound we don’t see everywhere it’s always nice to see different displays when we’re going around different shows a jagur and

French markings for the Army de and a p47 in I guess like Australian or Commonwealth markings and now we’ve got hm Compass R here really lovely little display ially war that Sig Sig quite small in terms of uh sort of the amount of bundels on the stand

But there were some really Grand models and some really interesting pieces including this SR71 that you can see on the topage of course we all know and adore that aircraft it’s nice to see the new F35 on display as well and then this emm 262 Naga 95 of VAR hot rods and

Custom sick but next on our agenda always fascinating to see the things on here cuz it’s so far outside of my wheelhouse that I never really know what anything is which I think is fascinating this is a um mobile suit from gundam which I’m starting to watch so I’m

Slowly starting to get some of the references to this I see all around us gunar grows in popularity and that’s sort demonstrated by being on this stand I guess and then we’ve got H here as well oh how cute cute haveon and Motorsports tck is up

Next again very similar to the pr one in the fact that I know nothing about this and it’s always really fun just to see new things but I’ll be honest I just look for whatever I think looks Keest or ones I haven’t done before I don’t think

I did this year me be one before and this is as model as Peck think Beenie maybe correct me in the comments anyway let me know edin BR is up next and I’ve not actually been to an show so that’s something might consider this year all depends on you know availability cuz

Quite a long way to go but it is on the cards maybe really vary display on here and some really fascinating subjects um including this abbl and Nan b i this just looks stunning this an is 2 or is 10 I wasn’t really too sure I don’t know

The differences between them sort of aesthetically an IR 81 and then we’ve got the EO dh2 this just looked phom all just amazing work so tinside had two different displays on here they had tinside which is the United States naval aircraft I don’t

Know if this was a Sig on its own but it was sort of T side naval aircraft and so we’ve got the sky here of course and then the cutless I just s of chose the two aircraft that I was think is so wacky and U sort of US laal Air Service

And then ‘s like next to them and we had a discussion with them about just how modeling is just whatever you want it to be in your own have to please yourself and I love the desert scheme on the C130 it looks amazing and then we’ve got a n

Always pctures of nerod I’m sorry I love it it’s a beautiful beautiful aircraft and I miss it very very much heading over to York and there are a lot of dioramas on display dioramas are getting ever increasingly popular in the modeling space and I think that really

Goes hand in hand with the popularity of tabletops as well there’s sort of a really good crossover between the two that so it’s nice to see these sort of diaramas bringing our subjects to life I’m yet to do one but I’m sure I will do one soon because seeing these is just

Amazing I just it scares me there’s so much work to do into them and of course it’s French Ry on this channel the thing that I’ve said at the starting just Ro as well for the whole 75 now over to notingham share a lot of tanks on display here and it’s really

Keep di I think it’s in one 144 scale and girly we all know that I absolutely adore that scale so here it is oh my god look how cute is I love this micro diarama coas size and then next a St Egg giant beast and then this is a really

Nice collection I didn’t really ask further about it I wish I had at the time hell you V Brampton pink Spitfire very very visible there love the racky pink on the Spitfires it always looks great and these free tanks are FR you may have already seen them in this video I really

Really liked them I don’t know if I’ve seen them before I feel like I have but eitherway I love them oh yeah it just it gives me major like girls and Panza flag tank Vibes honestly really really cute I love them so much I hope you add more to

This collection cuz I’d love to see like a Japanese one a Russian one maybe even an Italian one if you’re feeling really nice and then yeah we’re going over to side F1 from Mr bishy so following off from Rapton we’ve got cesu who again we saw at uh bton no

That’s not the show we went to to Bolton’s show uh Bolton show was only last month so this is the second show of the year that we’ve been to second time we’ve seen this display again a very varied display including including some mac like this one which very much give

Me iron Harvest Vibes the sort of diesel Punk RTS then this motor cycle on side got Miss models just because there something very unusual and who try and recognize the unusual models on this show and I like this I think it’s a l right I just really like the weathering

On this I thought the dusting on it was just absolutely fabulous heading over to North riding now really really epic diarama right in the center there and there were a couple aircraft that were really interesting there’s a Spitfire right at the end that has really really unique um sort of

Weathering effects on it that we’ll see later you can see the ganet there as well and this gazelle I love the app for gazelle so much I just had SC a picture of this this diarama just sort really Lively and there’s no one next to it

Like say just a bit further up here which is sort of over the top which again very very dramatic very well done and here’s the Spy I mentioned earlier with all its weathering it just I thought that look fantastic Northern England airfields they always recognize me because of my really long nails which

I always find really funny um obviously they’re always different every time they see me love this s because it’s just a lot of different aircraft and lots of different eras and just sort of celebrating Northern England really which I think is lovely and very fitting

For this show as well now I did take pictures of things I definitely have taken before sort of over the years but to be honest I really I love them whitly here first all and then that’s followed up by this which is a ctis mohk we then got a jet stream beautiful beautiful

Aircraft and then the sore on the hill which I’ve definitely taken pictures of several times but I love this diama it’s absolutely stunning s spons are up next again very packed display and that that’s sued by the way we will see a picture of it in the moment I just

Thought that was amazing and of course so Italians on the table also I’m going to take pictures of that the sm82 so look at that musing C I think you call it musing I don’t really know but I I love it sun here I just it was a

Really unque like display of it I just thought it looked really really nice sunlands are so hard to get right and you did a fantastic job New Zealand sick I read the biggest New Zealand Sig table I’ve seen really love the c47 at the end

We have taken pictures of quite a lot of the Sig over the year so probably not as many new things here as you might hope but again some of these sigs are run by only a couple of people so you have to take that into consideration you can’t

Just expect new things all the time but let’s see what we7 in here I just thought was really really nice for something completely different a stound and we got this which says it’s pack 40 I just I think the sort of the weathering effect around where it’s

Laying down just look really cool fell Bolding up next like the r bases and everything I’ve always like R bases see they add us that really likes the Blom and the fer on the snow they’re definitely things I’ve seen before cuz I know the glittery snow that I saw on there but couldn’t

Take my eye off them I’m going really honest so got a picture of them after this cf1 in Belgium a colors Export customer of the aircraft and here’s the fer on it snowy base which looks great now interestingly at the show as a whole I

Didn’t notice a lot of World War One and Inter War year thing so I did try and take pictures of them like this tank mark one you can see here yeah it seem to be like an overall the show now United States Air Force z i prob we see

Quite a lot there the stand always looks phenomenal it’s always so well organized and it’s it’s it just looks so epic this is like the Zer Airfield that every single child dreams of having I remember my dad made me a really small Airfield when I was a kid and if I could have

Like this in my house now I would love it I think my partner would probably make me leave though so now we flew through a couple of Fairly de aircraft there of course we’ve now got the A3 Sky Warrior I was followed up by this f111 heading over to 580 modelers now CP

Of really unique models in here some sort of a defense turrets or weaponry and I know nothing about those things so it’s really cool like seeing here and then being able to go and like look at them up later cuz I love that like I mentioned earlier modeling is all about

Like making you explore things that you’ve never looked at before never this time in a very very different liery and then we’ve got one of the first drones we’ve seen at the show getting again increasingly popular and here’s the gws 30C Dart I mentioned earlier love the cium decals on

Here and now we’re over at Nottingham and district there were a couple of people at the end of this and I always try to make sure I film around people as much as possible so apologies if this is not the best filming but again it’s just

How I try and do it I try and like be like natural and not push my way in really love the grass effect so I’m assuming it from brooms they look like it’s of a room that’s been cut up to make sort of the grass tffs but it looks

Amazing look at that absolutely amazing work now heading over to Mery side Beatles right at the top of that display as for and H Liverpool sort of sits a front of Mery side sign really cool display actually World War aircraft and the taple here as well and M and

Fulin also Jo joining the display which again is really important sh’s here NE didn’t one I mentioned earlier love a bit of sci-fi thrown into the mix this Newport ni 10 something I need see more of and then this CAD lagac from 1909 heading over to Lincoln Lincoln

Show I did go through to a couple of years ago was quite far for me to go and probably raise the case still today but this display does make me want to go back to the sort of show because it was so good and I loved seeing their like

Absolutely massive display they had at the show because so much variety and this was really no different it was a lot to see here from Henry the8 the old airfix kit I really wish I could do these but I know i” mess up the faces this fire engine here

Which looks stunning really eye-catching while soon GR in I think this is sealed a kit again something else I really want to do and the Stuka and I always think the stooker looks really different when it’s got the yellow front on it and then an army of corn from or 4K I

Think this is all the older CLE things with all the refs not entirely sure haven’t kept up with for G too well Manchester we also saw at Von ands surprisingly I’m not a surprise to see them at fellow Northern mod show as well really lovely to slay again Back to the

Future really Stills to show on this but I tried not to focus on it too much we did film it with the smoke so if you want to see that go have a look at the Bolton video so that you can make sure you you know can see it and it’s all its

Working Glory um but yeah there time I tried to S cat some different things we’ve seen some world one aircraft got this vc10 the 1144 scale one also got this lovely looking Valentine and then back to the future has I mentioned a moment ago I really liked it though the light reflecting off

It just looked fantastic now I didn’t actually see a name on this thing and I’m really sorry if I didn’t there was a poster for like away all boats so I think that’s it that I haven’t put your name on the actual video just in case I got it wrong so if

That’s the case I I’ll put it in the time stamp cuz I didn’t want to ulize it wrong uh but this is amazing and this whole Flight Deck can off he was the the Creator was explaining to someone there that you can like remove a few BS and it

Just like lifts off entirely which is insane airliner s we’re next to them airliners are something I I don’t know if I would ever build I I sort of like consider it but I really want to do it in 172nd and I do have that 707 to do at

Some point so maybe I will end up doing one was it 747 I can’t remember I’ve got that hella one I did an unboxing one ages ago and I think I’ve got the a Lingus detail decal so maybe I will do what it’s just a space thing really

Classic British kits if you remember these from the tord video they did a giant M Matchbox display and it looks like they’re heading over to do airx this year so i’ be really excited to see them at tord with a sort of vintage aixy feel really interesting display cuz I

Guess as we progressed onwards so many even from my childhood start to become classic kits but I think it’s always important to one appreciate the Nostalgia that we have but also remember how fantastic modeling is now and the variety we have these days is remarkable like and some of the new

Models are just like groundbreaking compared to what we had in the past the strike Master here in Sai markings and then the sacat Jau which I’ve always thought this looks like just amazing in the sort of gr GRE camo Asian aarm sck I think gives a really good example of many aircraft

That most people probably don’t even know about such as like the Taiwanese fck uh which the name always amuses me but I’ve got one of them to make in uh 17 second and the jf1 17 in Chinese Pakistani um Livery this sort of a special display one they did went in

Pakistan bought the ti cuz it origin Chinese they s of I think they’ve done like localized production J10 here I think of the a ver to slay team and here’s the FC k i was mentioning earlier from Taiwan Sig 144 I guess they spoke should say like that Friends of the

Channel because they always say hi to me they always recognize me and I’m always very enthusiastic about that as like cuz I just think what they do with 11 144 Scale Models is amazing like most people people struggle to make amazing diaramas at like a bigger scale doesn’t not to S

Like it’s it’s easier like a Bigg scale like it’s a very different challenge I think as someone like myself who does 72 scale I looked and dabbled I guess at was 48 I I just think like the idea that they can make such a believable diarama on what’s essentially the size of a

Coaster is absolutely insane like I love it and it fits in really well cuz like it gives gunam models like those are the back a really good sense of grounding in reality because they are normally like that scare up I mean look how believable

That is got a shin here as well which I took a picture of Cu obviously we’re getting the brand new uh ax one this year awing that’s Mr modeler choice I don’t think he’ve seen it before we got some good here the lighting on this by

The way I just thought it looked amazing this picture that’s why I didn’t give a blood background like have then just some Stables I think this is new I’ve not seen this before I absolutely adore it it’s beautiful heading over to Cleveland Kur in the front there really

VAR display yes again a couple of secret projects hidden underneath the Shelf there and then there’s St up here with sort of a train yard which I like cuz we don’t get enough train representation to be honest in scale modeling i’ i’ like to see more because I’d like to learn

More about trains um so I did just buy a d set of like train Journeys for like background stuff in the in my living room when I have people over so maybe I will start leing off MiG 29 in check colors there or check slacking colors

And then we’ve got this pumber here as well and then we’ve got the Sado um Fly Wing I think it is and here’s that sort of scene I was mentioning earlier I think that just looks amazing really believe it will Sheffield’s next up on our list I will say a couple of the

Stands coming up next they will have a bit more of a sort of flashing light one of the lights was damaged in the hall it seemed or like was on the bed in Fr so it was like going on and off a little bit so I do apologize if there’s some

Slight flashing that’s going on from these ones going forward and one of them is also out of order just because again I was just trying to walk around other people so yeah just a little heads up for you guys really some amazing work on here the Bristol Freer I think it’s a

Little bit of like a goofy aircraft it just has really weird proportions to it I’ve always thought and then we’ve got this uh Japanese selfdefense force type 16 from what I looked at kind of loved having to go down a rber hole to find what that

Was sish and morons around the corner so I think this is where we’ missed one club that we’ll go back to later we Circle back around I again really vared just layer and I’m sure my friend F models again I absolutely love this because dinosaurs and dinosaurs seem to

Be getting a bit more popular I’ve seen like a funeral boxes of these in model shop so that’s always a really good sign from Doctor Who here and I love this mical scene just looks really authentic which I think is always nice on the D okay up next again apologies for the

Flashing light that’s in this we’ll get a close of one of the ships um in a moment the front Lancaster many of those at this show actually a graffitied up uh mc23 I think uh we’ll get a picture of that and a little diarama for the battle veran film

As well which will’ll definitely get a picture of this the ship as I mentioned mentioned earlier love the sort of edge highlighting that’s got on here it’s really really nice I really wish I had the patience to do those I do have one to do at some

Point here’s the uh the sort of graffitied aircraft as I mentioned earlier and there’s bow fighter and here’s sine from Battle Bren right at the opening of the film Phenomenal Black sheeper up next B7 there was amazing oil sing on the wings from the exhaust of the engines Mandalorian front and

Center Thunderbirds which I think we took a picture of last time that’s why I’ve not taking a picture of it this time cuz again I try and do different things don’t always do it but I try to really lik the finish on this I think it just looks really

Incredible then this sort of tank repairman ship this look like a really Lively scene North s so this is when we’ve going back to j52 in the front there love these s Star Wars jet bikes flying around the trees skip around someone who was having a conversation with them which get

Really lovely to see it shows people get really engaged here we see the first di armor think that’s been sort of taken out entirely J as I mentioned earlier and then we’ve got this speeder scene which absolutely amazing the liveliness of them coming off the bike is

Phenomenal a lot of traders that show and they seem to be a lot of smaller Traders than you might get at some other shows which was great cuz it allows some people to really really shine and I actually didn’t end up buying any kids of this show which absolutely shocked me

Not because there wasn’t a lot there but just I didn’t I did get one of the pictures off there so I got a Bolton pool defin picture that’s now hanging from my wall absolutely lovely people and they from the weight filter they were actually sort of the host of the
