Queensland Model Hobbies Expo. The first competition in which I took part. It also had a swap meet as well as some regular retailers. Nice win Gaz and lots of nice kits. Seen some nice builds of the E boat. Some nice dioramas too if you want to really push the skillset..... 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To change the viewpoint and give an impression of speed, I'm thinking of using acrylic rods and water textures to make something a little unusual in ship dios. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wumm Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 Nah Mate, All of my spare and weekend time these days is spent renovating my Daughters' house (along with most of our spare cash!) in the hope of getting it on the market before Christmas Holidays. The timing of the recent Covid lockdown opened up nicely and played well into their hands, it wasn't looking too promising at the end of July. But great to see that it went ahead this year after all.

I got no modelling done this past weekend. Gaz Congratulations on your award - so very well earned and a mighty nice haul of kits. For my brother and myself, when we use to compete and go to shows back in the day, the vendor room was a magical place and we always always managed to find loads to buy. Enjoy your convention haul Keep 'em comin Peter 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep 'em comin Peter I like collecting the Classics series ... It looks like being a great reference book ... I have a Resin multimedia kit by HPH (ZM haven't made one - although it would be the sort of esoteric subject they would be likely to have a go at in the future) ... I haven't attempted the resin kit yet as the skill set feels to be a bit beyond me and I have a MASSIVE AFV project underway ... Rog 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really have you a sense of what it's like to fight forest fires. I can post some more pics I took in a separate thread if folks are interested.

AlanG Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Stupidly went onto evilbay. Had a look around and this kit with extra decals popped up for a VERY nice price indeed (about 25 quid less then it should be). So i kind of hit the 'Buy It Now' icon before i knew it 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aderowlands Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 I am not sure what I’ve gone and done, or more to that matter, why I’ve done it. I have built one Tank in all my years of Model Making, a 1/35 Tamiya Challenger 2. A long time ago at that. I know a little about Tanks in general, enough to be dangerous, though little to nothing about Armour Modeling techniques. This one will be a long job, probably a between Plane kits build, a bit here and a bit there. I stumbled on a build of the H version on YouTube and I decided I quite liked it and the size was impressive. I think that’s what sold it to be honest. Already gone and placed a Pre-Order for the Das Werk Stug III too. Oops. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
