Sorry about the poor quality phone pictures. Need somewhere to post these photos online figured this was as good a place as any. The beginning of what hopefully will become a permanent home for some of my models. Delivered the first few for display today and snapped these before I left. The empty shelves will soon be filled by other Cork based modellers.

Nice. To rotate pics, just go to manage album, select advanced options, and choose right rotation

Album info
Camden Fort Meagher. A disused coastal Artillery Fort originally built during British times, latterly used by Irish Defence Forces. Abandoned for a number of years, it is slowly being restored to a museum/tourist attraction by a group of dedicated volunteers over the last decade or so. A recent development is a dedicated model room, where members of the informal "Garrison Model Club" have been asked to provide a varied and rotating display of scale models. Obviously military & military history related will feature, but not exclusively so as all genres of scale models will be a feature.
