Big day at the show. Spent a lot of money on little things. And won a kit at the raffle! Won this: Heads... Figures that aren't in crazy assault poses. So my Panzers won't be lonely. And Panzer bling. I think I saved a little money...

Thank you Phil. I'm not really super competitive unless we're board gaming or playing cards. I cringe when I looked at the competition after I had set up my stuff. Mainly... it's time with guys like me. But what to do with a huge portion of two days, eh? I'm helping judge tonite. But having something in the competition gives me more reason to be there. Lots of guys aren't very sociable. They drop off their entries friday night. Come in looking for a bargain where people are selling early saturday... and then disappear again until the award ceremony happens sunday afternoon. Can't pick up your models until after the awards. I need a bit more than that. I'm actually a member of two clubs. One meets on the first saturday of the month. The other meets on the second. One I can drive to in less than ten minutes... the other in 45 minutes.

Very sharp presentation, Peter.

Thank you, Rob. You should try to do it some day. It inspires you to spend more time on a short weekend away from the house and give your significant-other some alone-time. Also you will spend more time looking at the competition as well as shopping...aka talking yourself into buying something.

Thank you, Peter. These 110's have so many aerials and horn balances. It makes handling them a chore. The drag they must have caused...

I'm packing for our one big show this year, the Queensland Model Hobbies Expo. Last year I only took one model. A tank which sat on a flat base. Not much effort required to stabilize it. But this year I'm going to show two tanks and four planes. And packing the planes is a lot of work. I'm most worried about the 110... it has all kinds of bits to break off in transit. I hope they all make it in one piece.

Looks fantastic!

Interesting. Guessing that this is one of those prototypes that were eclipsed by the jet age. Were you in the USN, John?

Dude, take the real plunge... do a 1/32 P-38 lightning.

Well done, John! Great to see one in a different livery.

Happy birthday, JohnB!

Looks great. Bill! Looking forward to the final reveal shots.

VEry pretty, Peter. Seems it would almost be a shame to weather it.

Did the DoK hit an iceberg? Been pretty quiet lately.

Thank you for the nice review, Fran! I have the original Dragon kit, so I don't really need to buy another. I would love to see the color and marking options, tho.

Looking good, Daniel!

That hood looks sweet, Mark!

And you bought how many Wingnuts kits? Love your work Ern. The office looks great!

Turrets look great!

I love these Japanese cruisers. Will enjoy seeing you complete it.

Well done, Kevin!

Thank you! Yep, Martin is the king of research photos.
