Miniaturwunderland Hamburg 2016 Part 2
The next area - very large and impressive - is a whole airport. And they invested a lot of time for details. As a proper airport, it had a display on landing and departing flights, and even a special visitor from far away.
Miniatur Wunderland Hamburg 2016 Part 1
Making the most out of the long tour into northern Germany, we combined a visit to the Miniatur Wunderland in Hamburg to Stahl auf der Heide. It is the largest model railway attraction in the world, in the heart of the Speicherstadt.
Where to start? The red brick buildings of the Speicherstadt are unmistakably, and with large golden letters the Miniatur Wunderland (miniature wonderland) can be seen from afar.
Stahl auf der Heide 2016 – Part 2
After the first presentation, the armoured vehicles were lined up back in starting position.
Being so close to a tank, able to take a look or to touch them, appealed to a lot of people. So the big cats were crowded.
Stahl auf der Heide 2016 – Part 1
On September 4th it was time for "Stahl auf der Heide" (Steel on the heath) in Munster, Lower Saxony at the German Tank Museum.
On this Open Day the museum raises the interaction with the exhibits. A selection of roadworthy vehicles is presented during a one hour show, and a lot of the shown tanks are available for climbing and getting yourself into the driver's seat.
Bonn – Haus der Geschichte
On the same day as the FeenCon, i visited the Haus der Geschichte (House of History) in Bonn.
It has a main exhibition, covering the german history since the mid / end of World War Two and two smaller guest exhibitions, of which the first was "Inszeniert - Deutsche Geschichte im Spielfilm" (Staged - German History in the movies), covering the coping with german history in moving pictures.
FeenCon 2016
The Guild of Fantay-Role players hostes annually the FeenCon in the civic center of Bad-Godesberg near Bonn. Especially among role players the event enjoys a good reputation, so the crowded parking lot is no wonder.
Technik-Museum Speyer
Two weeks ago, i had a work-related journey to the Technik-Museum in Speyer, Rhineland Palatine.
Heidelberger Burgevent Stahleck 2016
The annual event hosted by the Heidelberger Spieleverlag at Stahleck Castle for supporters, colleagues and friends was this weekend. So where to begin? With a parking lot picture of course.
Salute 2016 – Part IV
A special highlight for the last part. What kind of a show would it be, without the Perrys? They were there themself, with a wide stand only covering their plastic sets (Dave Thomas takes care of their blisters at show - who was at Salute as well). The novelties were anglo-centric with the Cape Frontier Wars.
Right next to the Perrys were Renedra, who take care of the production of plastic kits for half the wargaming business. It was great meeting the family behind the company, so lovely people. They showed the new castle / tower kit, and it was selling like hotcakes. No wonder for me, look how impressive it is.
Salute 2016 – Part III
Among the most prominent wargaming companies is Mantic for sure. The colourful stand was crowded and the deadzone table caught my eye. And then there was this enormous Kings of War battle going on - it was so incredibly huge. Simply insane.
