Wow what a show for ‘Rolemodels’ debut display. First and foremost I would like to thank the children who made the display what it was. Harry Winters, Cadence Scott, James Bowd, Jesse Jennings and Robert Shone, without you and your models ‘Rolemodels’ would not have gotten off the ground.
On our stand we had a great variety of models displayed covering such a wide range of genres: Dioramas, cars, planes, tanks, dinosaurs, helicopters, figures and motorbikes all built by the children and all wonderfully done.
With everything laid out the children did a fantastic job of telling all the passing visitors what they had built and what the Rolemodels stand was about every time with such enthusiasm. There was two gentleman from the U.S who really stuck in my mind from all the visitors over the weekend, they spent around 20 minutes chatting to the Harry and Cadence giving them their full attention listening to every word they said about their models and how they had built them, and then on Sunday they returned to chat a little more. I’m sorry I didn’t get your names guys but if you’re reading this you will know who you are. I want to thank you so much for taking the time to talk to them, it meant so much to them both.
On Sunday we had a little surprise for children, each was given a selection of models kindly donated by Collectakit and Retrokit (Thank you to Pat and Domi for your generosity) and to top it off they were also presented with a ‘Scale Modelworld’ Medallion to reward their hard work in both building the models and talking to the crowds on their stand.
Overall I think our first show display went very well, we had a good response from the parents who brought their children along, a good response from the visitors to the stand and more importantly a fantastic response from the children on the stand who enjoyed themselves thoroughly throughout the weekend. I can honestly say that I am really looking forward to seeing what the children will bring for next year’s show, “best start building now guys November 2015 isn’t that far away you know”.….
So if you are a member of the IPMS and your child or grandchild is 15 or under and would like to take part in next year’s display at Telford please do get in touch. You can email me on paul.findon@yahoo.com and if you include your name and Membership number, your child’s name and a contact phone number I can then ensure everyone who wants to take part has their place on the stand.
