Thanks for the report Lars. There certainly were some very nice models there.

Any chance you took photo's of the non-armour/diorama entries? I'm keen to see what else featured

WOW, there are some stunning models here Lars, Thanks for posting these photos!
I was thrilled to see that there seems to have been more bases that were adequately prepared rather than the plethora of bare, varnished wood plaques which seem to populate some of the other shows I've seen--nothing is worse in my opinion than plopping down a beautifully-weathered model onto a shiny, bare, varnished wood base! Nice to see that the majority of modelers here seemed at least to have taken the same care with displaying their model that they took with the model itself!
A good display base makes for a great model!

Thanks for the report Lars. Sounds like a great show ... was tempted to visit myself for the workshops.
Its a pity you didnīt include the figures from the show, as the Norwegins usually have some great and unusal figures every year when the visit Stockholm.
