I wonder if Robrex will be able to retain his big trophy that almost stands taller than him... and me for that matter!

I was going to put my BAR 006 in the comp until some of the araldite failed on the rear wing, and I haven't had a chance to mend it.

Anyway, good luck to anyone on the forums here who enters!

I'll be there, not entering anything, just going to bust open the piggy bank and do some serious shopping!

Hi Craig, Hi Dan
Seeya there guys.

I'll be there with my 312T (hopefully)? C'mon Mark, you can fix that rear wing on the BAR!

Hope you guys have a good show. I'm in Sydney and went to the Melbourne one earlier this year, so that's my dash done.

Are you coming for a visit Tang?

[auw12]

I'm afraid not this time Rob, that's quite a pity that I can't have the chance to see your fabulous 312t with my own eyes. But I guess I'll get there some day indeed! Good luck Rob!!!

Just got back from the expo with a nice little stash! $200 worth of little stash

This is only the second year i have been, but i wish there was some more car stuff to look at. There was a fair amount but there was a hell of alot of planes and tanks!

None the less, it was good and i found some parts and paints that i needed!

My pics wont do it justice, I'm pleased I was able to witness it up close though.....truely some great modelling there man.

Enjoy these couple, plus theres a few more at my Fotki link...






This is another greatly modified and mostly scratchbuilt beauty.....Only kit parts I beleive are the front tyres, engine block and heads and little else..It features owner built frame/cage, bodywork, reat tyres (hollow rubber) and numerous motor driveline bits an pieces....It is also 1/12 scale.




This is an old "promo". Been modded and repainted...Come up a treat.



Couple more....
