Genau Ian 😉
TX in right hand, Bierkrug oder Weinglas in left hand!
Model boater's heaven 😊
I'm usually sat on that right angled bend under the tree at the edge of the Biergarten.
Prost!

hi Doug

Thanks. Your description of the Nurnberg Toy `Fair is as I imagined, not only the size but the wallet emptying too.
I have done the A9 trundle a couple of times, usually I take the ICE and watch the world go by!!!
The other shows sound much more interesting and to our taste and interest. I will keep a weather eye out for further posts, thanks.
BTW I checked out your local water at Oustpark on Google Maps, love the street view photo with the Biergarten smack on the shore line, what more could a guy ask for??

How do I apply for the position??

Hi Ian,
The Nürnberg Toy Fair is vast and is for everything from baby toys through games to sophisticated model building, robotics you name it!

There are days for the pros, manufacturers and distributors, and days for the prols like us
to go and empty their pockets and wallets. 😁 So check the programme carefully before you book your tickets! For me it's about a two hour trundle up the A9 Autobahn😊

For more pure model building you might like to look at Düsseldorf and Friedrichshafen where large model exhibitions like Intermodellbau are held. With demonstrations of all sorts of models, slow-fly hangars, field for the big stuff and hellis and drones, very large pools for boat demos. These venues are attended by all sorts of manufacturers from complete kits to all the little bits n pieces makers.
I'll try and dig up the dates and links - my new Modell Werft magazine arrived today, there is usually a listing in there of all upcoming exhibitions as well as Show Meetings of several major model Boat Clubs. Many of which attract international exhibitors and competitors. Especially the Dutch and Belgian participants who turn up with huge harbour layouts and dioramas!
More soon.
BTW the Nürnberg show has been and gorn☹️ it's in March I think.
Cheers, Doug 😎

Sounds like a candidate for a 'Roving Reporter'?
