Also have to say that the model of show award is againt aircraft/armoured vehicles/ships and wooden built ships as well so it was a hard catagorie to win in

[robrex]

Thanks Dwayne for posting this thread & Robi for your kind words!
I have made it my goal to try and share every single tip & technique I know with my fellow modelers here on AF. Yesterday winning the show was the biggest award I have ever received and I was thrilled!
I must say with over 120 views and only 1 comment makes me wonder if this is in fact a place I want to remain!
Regards

Wow. Way to go Rob. I had no doubt that you would win with the FW24 after seeing what was going into it in the progress thread. Did I miss the completed posts for the 312 and FW24? Was really looking forward to seeing them finished up. Looks like another reason for me to visit Oz. So many talented modelers on this board and all from the Land Downunder.
I think the F1 stuff is more welcomed on that other board and that is why there are so few replies, please don't leave, your FW24 has inspired me to keep going with mine.

Mike.

Congrats on your winnings Rob ,haven't seen what you entered yet but if they are anything like your previous work it is no wonder you won top prize
BTW have you fired up Mr Sheene's bike yet

Hey Rob,

Sounds like your inspirational work impressed them at the Expo as much as you impress us here.

Keep up the great builds, I'm looking forward to them.

Don't be discouraged by the lack of comments Rob, keep in mind the view counter also counts non-member's views.

Excellent work on cleaning up at the show mate!

Congatulations Rob. Very well deserved considering the amount of labour and love you put into the build on the Ferrari. Same goes for the others as well.

Judging by what I have seen of your work here, the awards were nothing but deserved.
Congratulations !!!!

[Technoman]

Outstanding job, and completely unsurprising given what we have all seen on these boards..

Rob,
Congratulations on your wins! Totally deserved as your work is just mind-blowing.

Have I missed your 250 somehow?!?!? I remember it snekaing into a photo of something else and I have been patiently waiting for it to appear in its own thread Please put me out of my misery, where can I find it?

Please don't go and don't worry about the post counts. Remember that it is also holiday time and many people are still away on vacation (for example, I'm posting this from England and I am only managing to check in via PC every few days).

I wouldn't expected anything less but first prizes from you. Congrats

[willimo]

Can't say I'm surprised by your winnings. Your builds are tremendous, and Barry Sheene's bike you did is one of my favorite models of any sort, ever. It's a masterpiece, as are all your builds. It'd be great if you continued to share with us.
