Hi Everybody,

This is some video footage to show the ESM IPMS event held on Saturday the 26th of NOV 2022 in Houten (NL). More than 2300 tickets were sold and after 2 years of cancellations it was again a real succes. Euro Scale Modelling took place at the Expo Houten. In this comfortable, large, centrally located event site we have ample space of more than 9000 sq. meters (2.2 acres!) in three halls for show, traders, and the model competition. The site is well known in modelling circles for its model car, model railroad and other modelling related events.

There were a lot of sellers and producers. Also book stores on all subjects. Lots of conversations with fellow modellers and model clubs presenting their work. Also lots of 2nd hand vendors were you might find that Holy Grail kit!

I found one of mine: the Revell 1/72 Skycrane :) Other than that I did not find much that was on my wish list. I did buy that 1/16 scale STUG from DasWerk and 2 kits from DoraWings on Dutch East Indies 1/48 CW21 and CW22 subjects. 2 1/48 scale kits from HobbyCraft a 1/35 KDF type 82E and a 1/35 Soviet tractor. Lat buy was a bridge for a diorama.

I Did however miss the Airfix stand with new Spitfire model/testshots. That was kind of disappointing. Also no Kotare stand to present their 1/32 Spitfire.

Special Awards went to:

Best of Show: Jaap Geertsema, Italeri 1/12 Fiat Mefistofele
Pat Beentjes Award (best Natural Metal Finish): Walter v/d Heijdt, 1/72 MIG21
Best Branch/SIGdisplay: Regio Utrecht
Dutch Theme Award: FBgroup Modelbouw, 1/144 Koninklijke Luchtmacht RNLAF Aerodrome
