Pics: Model Expo 2012

Here they are again: a pile of photos taken at the IPMS Finland stand in Model Expo 2012. A couple of photos were so awful that tehy only  gave headaches to people so some models are missing. I'm sorry about that, it's not intentional. Somehow I had started in the middle of the airplane section so that's going to be the alpha and the omega of this photo set.

Let's see what blogger does to these 68 images this time... Maybe all of them work just nicely, maybe three quarters of them disappear when I press the "publish" button. We'll find out soon enough.

  1. Cool pics. Some good stuff there, especially the B-4 howitzer. Love that thing.

  2. There were plenty of interesting models, a bunch of them had been there before in various stages of completion. The IPMSFiland tables were nicely fuller this year than the last one, maybe it's a growing trend now :) And some of those builders are just insane. In a good way, I might add.

    My favourite new things this year were the military locomotives. Cool things that you don't see often.
