On again gang !

Sadly the imagineering class has been dropped which is a whiffing shame but plenty of room in other classes to get a few WTF's from the unknowing.

Philistines.

Although I prefer to enter my whiffs into the "normal" classes anyway.

I'll be there all day Monday as usual.  Although the Model Car Club doesn't have a table this year because of apathy.

I shall be there, but I don't think I will be entering anything. A combination of moving to distant lands and owning scale reference cat means spending whole long weekends in town doesn't really work anymore alas...
I shall ponder things.
And possibly enter the wargames categories.

I'm going to be having a busy weekend as it is also Comic Con.

[Old Wombat]

Have a great time, all who are going or have been!

[zenrat]

Been.
Saw Buzzbomb and Comrade Harps and I know Sykotik was there as I saw his Dragonfly.
I'm going through my pics preparing them for publication and will post some, and a link to the rest, up here when they are done.

Not a whiff, but it is 1/72.

This was at the back of the table behind a big space shuttle standing up in a picture frame.  Shame as it is excellent.

Took me a moment to work out why this was in Sci Fi.

I photographed most of the racing planes as inspiration for the Racing GB to come.

Trumpeter 1/72 LCAC.  Not a whiff but it has so much potential to be one.  I really need to get one of these.

The rest of my pictures are here.  Enjoy.

For those of you who like such things I have uploaded three pics of the civil airliners class in their original size.  I had originally intended to photograph each one individually for you but ran out of time.

Nice ones, cheers Fred

The "Road Train" is great!

I've got one of those, and a 1/144 one as well, no idea why though. The 1/72 box is GINORMOUS! 

That racing Hornet really looks the business!

Mr Modest Zenrat appears not to have mentioned his significant placing in one of the classes.

Well done Fred on the 1st in Sci Fi Vehs.
