**    Intermat 2006   **

I have finally recovered from my trip to Intermat and had a great time in Paris. There were plenty of fellow collectors at the show and I bumped into several friends including John Cunningham and Ryan Sanders who travelled all the way from the US, not to mention meeting collectors for the first time after being in contact with them via email. I did manage to spend a couple of hours chatting with Chuck Sword, hearing about the plans for his new "Sword Precision Scale Models" company. He also introduced me to the Towsleys and TWH guys who were very friendly and open to my comments and suggestions on their models. Thanks also to Staffan Wedekull, the sales and marketing director from Motorart, for taking the time to listen to my ideas and suggestions.

With so many models available from the show, including a number of brand new models, it was hard to decide just what to bring home with me, therefore i chose to cram as many models into my suitcase and hand luggage as i could, pictures of which are displayed below. (Please note that there are a number of pictures and it may take a while to download for those on a dial up connection)
