Strana 5
time, Lukáš Deml‘s workshop on Terrain Creation for
Dioramas will be held in Hall A.
Cafe 3:00PM HALL A 3:00PM
The Café at 3:00PM will return to the theme of the
personality of Josef František in an interview with
Petr Švihovec and the director of the film Lone Wolf,
Ondřej Veverka. At 3:30PM the programme in the Café
continues with an interview with Jaroslav Háječek
and last year‘s overall winner of the E
-
Day / Czech
Model Master competition, Christian Gerard. This
interview will also be in English. In Hall A at the same
time, starting at 3:00PM, there will be a workshop with
Jan Merhaut and Albert Šorm on the topic of model
shading.
HALL G 4:00PM
Raffle results will be announced in Hall G starting
at 4:00PM. We introduced the raffle last year and due
to its great success, we are including it in the program
again this year. Compared to last year, however, we
will announce the main prizes publicly, and we want
to give more publicity to the raffle and the prizes.
And make a bit of a show out of it, in the process.
The prizes will be of a high quality, in addition to last
year‘s prizes, such as a tour of the company or an
airplane flight, there will be valuable rare kits, but
also airplane parts and original paintings.
HALL A 4:00PM
With the announcement of the raffle winners,
which is also the last program on Saturday in Hall G,
only the workshop of Petr Šilhánek from the company
Part2Print in Hall A remains. Petr is a great expert in 3D
printing, he has been dealing with this issue since the
very beginning of this field and he really understands
his work. And because, among other things, he prints
for many Czech modeling companies and, for example,
supplies us with material for printing, he has a lot to
say about the topic of The Use of SLA Printing in Model
Making’. So if you make that mistake and don‘t have
a raffle ticket, or if you win something quickly leaving
you the time, go to Hall A and see Petr Šilhánek.
You will learn a lot of interesting things.
After SLA printing and Petr Šilhánek, the last
workshop of the day begins at 5:00PM, in which
Mr. Jan Bobek from HGW will demonstrate the new
generation of his positive rivet decals.
Cafe 5:00PM
It will probably be hot in June, which is the better
of the weather scenarios. I don‘t even want to talk
about the second scenario, so as not to jinx it, but
we can expect that by five in the evening we will all
be very tired. Nevertheless, I invite you to tea at five
or afternoon coffee at the Cafe by the Lake, because
we will still be far from finishing by then. And one of
the highlights of this year‘s E
-
Day will be in the Café.
At 5:00 p.m., Jaroslav Háječek will be talking to Albert
Kronek, a Brno café owner, bartender and, above
all, a collector of Czechoslovak wartime aviation
equipment. Mr. Kronek will be selling coffee at E
-
Day
and organizing a tasting of his rums, which I hope will
be part of the evening Afterparty.
At 5:30PM, you have the chance to experience an
event in the Café that was completely unimaginable
until recently. A meeting of three personalities from
the Czech modeling industry, Petr Muzikant (KP(AZ),
Fredy Riedel and myself. The interview is moderated
by Jindra Štěrbáček. Since this will be the last part of
Saturday‘s program, we don‘t necessarily have to end
at the planned 5:50PM deadline, but we can talk a little
longer and there will certainly be enough time for
your questions. And then, if necessary, we can move
on to the next part of the program together.
AFTERPARTY 6:00PM
At 6:00 PM, the evening Afterparty will slowly start
in the catering area. You can easily find it, it will be
there for the entire duration of the event and will be
led by the same group as last year. The Afterparty
will be about food and drink and discussions and
so on, compared to the standard menu there
will be something extra, for example, a roast pig.
And a musical interlude, as well…
CONCERT 6:30PM
Yes, there will be a concert this year. On the main
stage, and to be honest, I‘m a little bit nervous as to
how this is going to come off. The band Kabát will play,
not to be confused with the Czech mega rock band
Kabaty, that probably doesn’t even play anymore. This
is a tribute band. Thay are very good and worth seeing.
In this way, we can end the discussions in the Café in
style, if they drags on. The concert ends at 8:00PM, so
as not to disturb the peace of the night, and then it‘s
up to you when you go to bed. The Afterparty continues
after the concert.
SUNDAY JUNE 28
HALL G 9:30AM
On Sunday we start in Hall G at 9:30 with
a discussion between Jaroslav Háječek and Ilja
Sobolev and his colleagues from the British company
DBMK. DBMK is a fairly new company, they make 1:32nd
scale British aircraft and there is a lot of discussion
about them. Ilja himself is an interesting personality,
he once fought in Afghanistan, he has been living in
Britain for thirty years, he also has a military career
there and is a modeler, remembering the beginnings
of the model industry in the USSR and Ukraine. The
conversation will be in English.
HALL A 10:00AM, Café 10:30AM
In HALL A, Petr Vacek‘s workshop ‘Getting Started
with Models’ starts at 10:00. Here we are in a bit of
a time conflict with both the program in Hall G and
the conversation in the Café, which will be led from
10:30 by Jakub Nademlejnský with Pavol Beránek,
founder of the Plastic Invasion brand. Pavol‘s passion
is the figures he creates and produces using modern
methods, and his views on how to do things make
sense and has drive.
HALL G 11:00AM
At 11:00, another of the traditional points of the
program begins, the Pot Q & A session with Fredy
Riedel, director of CMK, moderated by Petr Švihovec.
Bring your questions for Fredy.
HALL A 11:15AM
In Hall A, shortly after Fredy‘s Q & A, Jan Novotný‘s
workshop on Eduard decals will begin. Our decals still
cause all sorts of controversy and comprehension,
so to tell the truth, we will welcome everyone who
still has reservations about Eduard decals to this
workshop. I‘ll go there too and I‘d be happy to talk to
you about decals.
Café 12:00PM
The last conversation between Petr Vacek and
Jaroslav Háječek about the exhibition at the Brno
Technical Museum will start in the Café at 12:00.
It was a hugely successful event that deserves to be
continued. And, knowing Petr, he certainly already
has a dynamic in mind. He has a lot of ideas, among
other things, he is bringing his idea for presentations
of model clubs to this year‘s E
-
Day, which will be
concentrated in Hall T. To be honest, I have no idea
how it will actually work, but I believe it will bring
something new and interesting. If you want to know
more, stop by Hall T and check it out. Those club
exhibitions were always worth seeing. The club
program will be running continuously on both days,
and will feature things such as introduction to gluing
models together for children, led by members of the
KPM Litoměřice in Hall NS.
HALL G 12:30PM
And we are in the hoe stretch! At 12:30 the
announcement of the results of the children‘s and
junior categories begins. The overall winner of the
children‘s categories will again receive the Václav
Šorel Cup, donated by the Václav Šorel Foundation.
The announcement of the results of the children‘s
and junior categories will be smoothly followed by the
announcement of the senior categories. This year, the
announcement will be moderated by members of the
club KPM Litoměřice.
At the same time, the release of competition models
and participant kits, as well as prizes for the awarded
model, will take place in Hall H.
To navigate the rich E
-
Day program, we are
introducing an information APP on WhatsApp this
year. We will send notifications about the beginning
of individual parts of the program and other useful
information during the event. You can download the
app here.
And that‘s all from me today. I wrote about the
June and July new releases, as well as the August’s
feature, the P-51B in 1:32nd, in the last editorial. If you
missed this information, check out the May Newsletter.
I look forward to seeing you in Litoměřice on the last
weekend of June!
Happy Modelling!!
