Hannover (Germany) annual model VdPM show
on: May 01, 2010, 02:51:08 PM
Hi everybody, in the weekend of 17-18 April I went to attend this show http://www.vdpm-hannover.de/pages/jaus10.htm
This is a general show, that means all the green stuff and wings are there too, but also some nice trucks (some stunning scratchbuilt oldtimer trucks, some conversions, some weathering).
I know some of the carbuilders since about 20 years, they come every year to Jabbeke and a couple of years ago they asked me when I was going to attend their show, so that's how I started to go there.
It's around 600 km from my house, my German speaking is very well, so no problems on that side, I can stay with one of them, so no extra costs on that side too, I join them for Saturday and Sunday evening dinner as well, I can say that my stay there is very well pleasing me and worth repeating every year.
Some of my own pics (hope you enjoy them):

XJRV8, there is none of my builds on the pics, these were all on display there from other modelers, alongside with some green and grey things (military and airplanes).

And I could buy an Emek MAN narrow cab medium roof (always handy in case of a future project)

My mistake Gerdi, thought when you said "some of my own pics" I thought they were your trucks!!
Anyway, nice to see your built trucks. I like the older paint styles on the KW and Pete.

Ha ha, because there are pics on the link too, that's why I said "my own pics"  ;D ;D ;D not my own trucks  ;D ;D ;D
I wanted to be discrete and not show mine, but anyway thank you enjoy them also.

Steve, to be honest, the first one was bought off ebay like that, the rest are my builds, the KW W900 dumper is quite old and I'm thinking of weathering this one, hence a pic in its clean livery, but I'm a bit afraid of starting weathering for reason of ruining the model.
