Best in Show for 2025.. rather superbly painted Pirate Captain Lyra.

Still getting along as a great show with some really excellent models usually turning up.

Not this year (again) but, maybe, next year.

Depends on what the Orange One & his mates do to screw the World up in the meantime.


I want to save enough to do Melbourne for the AME show, then Canberra, Nowra & Cairns for the museums.  ;)

I am making the trip across and will have a couple of models in the F-111 Sig display.

I have a few of those Uncle Les CAC CA-23s in the stash.

What scale is the Ghost Bat and was it a scratch build or a kit?

Zoom in on the image and it states "1/32nd scale" on the display base.  :smiley:
