After a long time, years in fact we finely got to Germany to collect the Western Miniatures moulds.
Post would have been far too expensive so the boat was booked and 4 days we'll be on the road to Germany, from France to Germany and we stop over in Essen. Then on to Kiel to Karl Rieger, moulds and a few figures packed in the car and a few hours chatting we're of to Hannover for the night stopover.
Then it's Regina Sonntag's, most of the day there and again moulds packed and a bit of advice on engraving and lots of talk then back to the hotel for dinner and a beer or two
Up early and the long drive to Stuttgart, got there late but still time for something to eat and a few beers with Benedikt Widmann of Jupiter Miniatura,
Up and we are at Benedikt's again colleting and delivering moulds, this took all day as with several bottles of some rather nice beer, good job we're not driving as hotel's just around the corner!!! and that where we all end up for dinner and another pint
Next day we are on the road to Archen for our last stop over with a great dinner and drink to wind down and that's it next day we're on the last bit of road for home.
Big thanks to Regina, Karl and Benedikt for looking after us and making us so welcome, 1,900 miles and 7 days on the road and guess what? we only went and left 31 moulds behind so got to do it all again hahaha
