SA Scale Model Expo 2025
« on: October 04, 2025, 07:48:12 PM »


I understand that some of our overseas members may not be able to attend, nor many of our Australian compatriots for that matter, but, if you can, do!  8)

This time Friday I'll be making final preparations before going to Day 1 of the Expo. I'll be there all weekend and will be displaying ... something (I'm still thinking about it, OK!).  ::)

Tall bloke, probably wearing camo pants, with a beard & a pale-grey (read "white") Mohawk hair cut (yes, an old fart like me has a Mohawk).  :-\

Anyway, hope to see a few South Aussies there, at least!  ;)

For those not attending, I shall try to take as many photo's as possible.  :smiley:

I will try to stop in.  It's a big number birthday for one of the kids that weekend so I may be busy.

I'll clarify, here, that it's not a punk Mohawk.  ;)

At least you have enough hair on your head to grow a Mohawk with!
Looking forward to lots of photos.

Got my RAMs M1128 MGS (Mobile Gun System) comlpeted-completed today, ready for the show this weekend.

About to start pulling together the builds I'm taking. Unlikely I'll bother competing, I still haven't figured out how to do "references" for something that lives in my head - I'll just do "For Display Only".

This Saturday & Sunday, folks, if you're coming!  :smiley:

A few teasers;
















And a link to my SmugMug gallery: SAPMA Expo '25


Enjoy! I did!  :smiley:
