I overheard the builder of the McClaren chatting with someone else who is a race car builder. The consensus was the Orange was as close as you could "ever" get. Was out of the can Tamiya spray!

Just scrolled through this lot Bill and it looked to be quite a good show, some very nice modelling and certainly a diverse selection of subjects. Thanks for putting them up.
 
It was a small show as well, less than 300 entries?
Next year will be in Parramatta in a bigger venue for more dealers.
Should be good.
 
Probably the last of them, helos.

All in all, last year at this show was my first in this country. In the States I had been to small ones and some so big they were overwhelming. You had to choose a category and it would take hours to look at them all. So many dealers your head would spin.

This one will be a really good one next year with a few more dealers. This venue has room for only a couple with plane kits and accessories. Some armor and a few books. A couple of clubs reps and a few really old kits in their beat up boxes.

I am not a judge, don't profess to have the eye for it, but I thought the quality of the entries last year made me attend this year. And by the length of time it took for the judging, there were many quality entries. Only a few "intermediate" entries with seams showing, or more experience with finishes needed. It didn't appear to be age groups represented. Which in itself is a shame, cuz it's these builders who will fill the tables in the future. I'm looking forward to next year.

We got to come up with a way of getting together at these shows....... Silly hats maybe????

Bill
