In early April, Asociacion Modelista Torrent held one of Spain's premier modelling contests. Pedro Andrada presents a selection of the 1:72 scale military vehicles on display. Guaranteed to impress!

Excellent report and pictures of the show. Not surprised to see small scale growing and starting to give "Lego" scale some competition. Thaks for sharing, Pedro!

Cheers,
Jan

Just to make clear, there were other scale and subject categories at that contest, but this report only covers 1/72 military vehicles.

It's all part of a conspiracy, I think... (...sound of evil laughter...)

Many thanks.

There were another scales but I was jury in 1:72 so I centered my attention in these models.

Best regards.

Pedro.

I live in Valencia and went to see the Torrente show. When I came by the Dora, at first glance I was sure it was 1:35. I couldnīt believe how big this thing was when I noticed those microscopic 1:72 dwarfs hovering around it.

I also remember I thought that the US guy with the sandbag-protected AA machine gun close to the downed Zero in the penultimate pic would be in trouble with high tide because the wing of the plane had already been buried. His sergeant should kick his ass.

Indeed these are true works of art! I’m happy to see that Braille scale builds are taken very seriously over in Europe. Here’s hoping the Western world will stand just as strong in support of this itty-bitty scale. Thanks Pedro, for posting these fine mini masterpieces.
