Re: LoA 'WATERLOO WEEKENDERS 2015' - Now booking....

Re: Derby weekender 2014

Our thanks to the organisers (The Usual Suspects!), Andy and Shaun for the quiz and the good natured competitors...

Very, very nice! Lovely to see models finished in 'duller' colours, shows they do not lose any visual impact...
