I & three other visitors to the site will be there. So, if you are attending (or even just thinking about doing so) & want to meet up let me know & I'll sort it out.
Cheers!

Last call for a Meet'n'Greet with zenrat, buzzbomb, rickshaw & myself! ;)
We'll be meeting up at 1300hrs on Saturday but I, for one, will be there almost* all weekend.
[*: I'll be disappearing for a little while on Sunday in an attempt to get photo's of a particularly odd variant of an M3 Grant to build for next years expo.]

Had a great weekend, mostly hanging out with Brian (buzzbomb) & met Fred (zenrat) on the Saturday (he had other reasons for being in the area & couldn't stay too long) but, unfortunately, Brian (rickshaw) was unwell & couldn't attend.
Then today was better than I expected.
The "Encounter in the Ruins" diorama got a Commendation

(This won 1st Prize, too, but the Prize photo was a mess & had to be deleted)
I've probably missed several because he seemed to be walking up to collect a prize every few seconds! :o ;D :smiley:

And, lastly, this one when I was trying to quietly subvert the Small Scale Multi-Prop category into accepting a Whif amongst its entrants ... :icon_ninja:

... Unfortunately I got found out & moved. Lucky for them, I say! ;) >:D

@ Old Wombat and BuzzBomb: Congratulations to you both for all of the wins in your respective categories.

Thanks, Jeff! :icon_alabanza:
It's really quite a (nice) shock getting a placing at a model show! :icon_surprised: :D

Thanks Guys, just got back home after the Adelaide trip.
Really enjoyed the catch up with fellow whiffers and few others I knew over there. Some really nice models of the table.
Next show for me is Scalemodelworld as part of this years holiday, so looking forward to that as well
