I went to a toy exhibition last sunday ("Euromodelbouw" in Genk, Belgium). They were showing trains, boats, airplanes ... whatever makes a modelbuilder's heart beat faster.

This beauty was riding in and out of the hall :

    Wow, that's a nice RC vehicle! Really like the composition of your first shot even though it's a bit blured. thumb.gif

    Yes, the first picture is a bit blurred, because I had to hurry and was holding the camera with only one hand.

    I don't know what this truck would cost (it's not for sale) but if it took 3000 manhours to build it, one can guess the value.

    They mainly go to exhibitions and public events in the Benelux.

    Another big one was this Komatsu wheelloader. It wasn't allowed inside because it has a real diesel engine.
