You know, there are some really nice models there, but I just have to make a general criticism about something that has struck me about many modeling displays/shows from our neighbors "across the pond". And I mean this in the nicest possible way; I'm NOT slagging on our Brit brothers!
It's a shame that many of the Armor modelers there seem to spend an obviously respectable amount of time on the actual builds themselves, and then really seem to really skimp on the bases which on which they display their model. To be honest, there's some really shoddy-looking bases there!
I may be wrong, but several of them--the Scimitar for instance--appear to be laid down over a simple piece of felt onto which a smattering of grass powder has been laid down? Or just a flat plaque with the same, rushed, shoddy treatment. The bases are really one-dimensional, flat and uninteresting for the most part, and honestly detract greatly from some of the otherwise beautiful models!
Or, worst of all--HORROR OF HORRORS!!--the dreaded "Bare, Stained Plaque"!
It's worth noting that the nicest base of the lot that I could see, the one with seemingly the most thought and detail put into it was the "Chi Ha"'s in the jungle setting--and that was in the junior category!
So what's up with that? Is it a "British" thing? Seems like someone needs to up the standards there?
