Lots of nice pics there, thanks for sharing, Hussein

And it's nice to see an Egyptian table with the Egyptian flag at a modelling show... Glad someone did what I wasn't able to do before Keep it up

Hisham

Thanks Hussein,



Al

Thank you for this photo report; the presentations models is up to the show

Thanks Hisham, I have met a lot of French scale modelers and some of them asked me about you.
it was indeed a crazy thing to have taken my models on the plane to France but it actually worked with very little damages
They said we should get together and start a club or something and show the people in Egypt this beautiful hobby and start having more people interested in the hobby.
So lets plan for a meeting to discuss it and who knows maybe next year we can go together and exhibit our work.
cheers
Hussein

Hey Hussein, just saw your post.. things have way of disappearing down the line real quick

It's kind of funny that a modeller in France would ask about me.. but I guess that for a long time I was the only one from Egypt on these forums

Anyway, I'll contact you soon and we'll see what we can arrange

Hisham

I would have loved to have been there. Thanks so much Hussein for the fine pictures. A lot of these vehicles I have never seen before. One though is very intriguing. That is pic #16 on page #1. If someone could identify that for me I would be more than grateful.

Hi Cary

I think the tank in photo 16 is the St Chamond French ww1 tank

Again I thank you Hussein. She is quite the beauty isn't she? And for those interested, Lucky Model has them in stock. Only 6 left though.

Well, um, I meant 5 left.

You're welcome Cary
Indeed its quite an unusual and unique tank which stood apart in ww1 in both design and colors.
It has a bit of a futuristic appeal that makes it hard to imagine it came from the same era as the other ww1 primitive tanks.
I was very tempted to buy this kit but historic tanks are not really my thing, i like modern armor better

I prefer modern armor myself but I'm also drawn to unusual vehicles. Like the minenraumer. Both of these vehicles look like they could be part of an alien invasion.

Hi Hussein, glad you made ​​this trip with your beautiful dioramas. I wish you many more participations on model shows! Thanks a lot for the images, cheers, Dimitris.

Thanks Dimitris
Long time my friend, hope all is well with you
