THE SHOW

MUST

GO ON

or most of this year we have lived

in very challenging times and many

have found modelling a way of

escaping the real world for a few

hours. I know that personally I have really

valued the few hours I managed to get at

the workbench each week as a great way of

relaxing, even though the summer months

are a time when traditionally most modellers

take a spell away from their projects.

As I write this, we are in the third week

of July and I am about to take a bit of an

enforced break. As many know I have been

working very hard of the last six months in

a number of different roles and so I should

have been for the next fortnight as I was

due to be attending the US Nationals in San

Marcos, hard at work selling the magazines

and talking to the public and traders from

around the world. (Yes, dear it is work not

just talking models honestly). Unfortunately,

the US Nationals were cancelled last month

(though San Marcos have now been given

the 2023 Nationals) so spending a couple

of days exploring Texas and seeing the sea

of Mexico for the first time is not going to

happen. Instead for the first time in over

10 years I will be spending my summer

break with my wife on the Suffolk coast

for a few days and exploring the local

attractions of a staycation here in the UK.

Sadly, this is the fifth major model

show I will have missed this year and

also coincidently the fifth of my monthly

IPMS Milton Keynes club night meetings

I have also missed this year. One of the

side effects of all this is just how much I

spend my whole year planning my holidays

and rotas in my other jobs around Model

Shows and club nights, and how much my

modelling time increased as I tried (and

normally failed) to have something new to

put on the table at shows or at club night.

Until now I had just taken these events

for granted and I did not realize how much I

would also miss the social interaction with

fellow modellers. Because, though I can

talk modelling to my wife and daughter, I

can also see the glazing over of the eyes

when I do! Many clubs including IPMS

Milton Keynes have been organising online

meetings and there have been a number of

online model shows but to be honest these

technology replacements leave me cold.

But now the green shoots of a new

normal may be appearing though it is

very early days, but we are discussing

holding club meetings again in the autumn.

Even in the US where the virus is still

running rampant there is still hope for

the future as the organisers of next years

US Nationals in Las Vegas have sold over

1600 rooms at the large hotel complex

hosting the event and have had to reserve

another 400 rooms due to the demand.

So though for many social distancing

and wearing masks is not easy it will not

be for ever and hopefully very soon we will

be in a new world when we can meet, chat

and talk modelling to our hearts content.

Until then enjoy reading your latest

magazine and any time you can get at

the modelling bench and look forward

to sharing your work at a model show

or a club night very soon. Stay safe.
