Whenever dedicated military modellers put their heads together and decide that they want to combine their talents to work for others, a model competition is usually the result. The result of all this organising was Lancer Conquest', the first independent and international military modelling competition which was held on 25th November, 1995 in Bunnik, in the centre of Holland. The set-up was small, with just one trader, the show's sponsor Lancier Modelbouw. However, without the benefit of hindsight nobody knew how it would go for the first time. Special guests on Lancier Modelbouw's stand were the makers of Precision Models and trading was brisk right from the start. For the organisers, "Lancers Conquest' was a big success. A total of 209 models were entered in 13 competition classes by 83 modellers. Roughly half of the competitors came from Holland and a large contingent of Belgian modellers entered, mostly in the figure classes. Models from Germany, Great Britain and France were also entered in the competition.
