Welcome to Military Modelling Magazine, Volume 47, Number 11. This magazine is fronted by a British heavy weight produced by another new contributor. Since writing to you last, myself and my ‘veteran’ designer Richard Dyer hit the road and headed south to the Kentish seaside town of Folkestone where we stumbled upon an impressive model show! I know, what you’re thinking; what were the odds? Of course, this was the ‘new’ Euro Miniature Expo which was held in the ‘old’ surroundings of the Leas Cliff Hall. Even though initially it felt like we were walking into another Euro Militaire, the lighter atmosphere and the generally upbeat feeling made it feel very different (for the better). The traders were far more positive for a start and this was reflected in the amount of positive encouragement and the samples that we struggled away with which necessitated a larger Atten-Shun this month. I truly hope that the new ‘team’ sticks with it and keeps this show going; it will grow, evolve and change but regardless of which direction it takes I for one know that it will not please everyone all of the time; in fact, it will be a bit like trying to run a modelling magazine!

All the best
Martyn
