I didn´t realise these images had been added in the gallery, so just in case anybody else is interested, they can be seen HERE.
Lots of armor and dioramas as usual ... there has even slipped in some non-military models.

Best of Show was won by Johan Fohlin´s excellent "Kampfgruppe Saalbach" a Sd.Kfz 250/9 of SS Nordland, set in Latvia 1944.


Some other pics from the show ...










See the complete gallery HERE.

Enjoy!

Thanks for showing those pics. I prefer the vignette with mother and child. That's wonderful modelling.

Cheers

The mother and child vignette is also my favourite. Very emotional.

I was there a few weeks ago and took loads of pictures.!
They have quite the colection of Pbv 301´s and one of the two still preserved and driveable Stugs in the world.
Good luck on gettin good side pics, the have parked the tanks waaay to close to each other.

Hej Christian. All photos are from the front or the back . Its a bit dissapointing that one cant get in and around them better, actually. Maybe it´ll be better when it moves?? Feel sorry for the lads who have been restoring the PBV prototype though. Thord and Erik took us in to see around "their" PBV. Still loads to do, but its coming together. They don´t know if this will be transferred as well, meaning somebody else will have to take the restoration over, or it´ll sit in limbo.
Otherwise its a great museum, and I was so happy to get a chance to see it before closing.
