Here we are again only a few weeks and you have SMC in Holland, always a great show.

Hello everyone,
 The next trade fair is coming up, again the Kettwiger Zinnfiguren will be represented with a small stand at the ScaleModelChallenge on October 18th/19th, 2025 in Eindhoven.

Enclosed is my stand on the current floor plan, T6.
https://www.scalemodelchallenge.com/floorplan/ (https://www.scalemodelchallenge.com/floorplan/?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAAR50dVWnDNCKHhy0Qa1DlBFF4rOkQ3e9h_nTBLsVBz2Si_DGJiKEe3vFpkkbyA_aem_aq0LEb9lp2uP8LNhDqvYhg)

Enclosed is the following preliminary information:
Since I only have a small stand, I will only have a few selected figures with me.
For all collectors, especially from abroad, who will also be in Eindhoven and may be interested in figures, please pre-order!!!!
The current catalogue can still be viewed at:

www.kettwiger-zinnfiguren.de (http://www.kettwiger-zinnfiguren.de/?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAAR4ChTQeui-roNufqe3G29PTciPbuA50-z8M00uf6gzhsJ5daElqV-cMl1RAbA_aem_P-1MJQUMI4_ylFcrJLeo0A)

As I am somewhat of an exotic at the model building fair, I will also take my engraving tools with me and possibly show my very modest skills there, perhaps one or two model builders will still stray towards tin figures...
So, hopefully we will see each other, I wish us all a good time, nice meetings, fair business, a safe journey to you all
 Best wishes Christian

Big thanks Michel, seeing the BFFS table photos I can remember when we had to many figures and no space on the table for them, suppose though days have gone  ;)


But well done to all, you did us proud  ;D [size=78%]    [/size]

I adjusted some pictures, too large (forgot to downsize them)... should be better.
