    Talking My day at the Melbourne Model Expo

    My very first model show and I was dumbstruck by the models on display. We have some exceptional modellers on this forum but my word, there are also a lot more out in that big wide world. It was a good day out and it was nice to meet up with Wayne and Alex and heaven forgive me but I did not buy a single model though I did come home with a bag full of bits and pieces.

    I also had the camera with me and managed to take some pictures before the judging took place so I'm just going to post them as I took them for I'm sure Wayne will give us all a rundown over the next few months on what was what in the varying categories.

    Please enjoy.................
