South Australian Model Show 2014

[bilby1968]

Coming up the weekend of 11 & 12 of October at the CBC gym in Wakefield Street Adelaide.

Will be online by then, cross fingers, and we have some snaps to share.

I am sure my fellow South Aussie, Clash City Rocker, will also have some pics to upload as well.

A friend is doing an Airfix box art display which is looking really good from the completes so far.

Stay safe

Here are my pics from the comps.
First one I saw as I walked in was this Fokker. The very same one I'm building at the moment



Here's another one that caught my eye. Haven't seen a built up one of these in a long time, the FW 189



Another rarely seen model is the Airfix BV 141. Here are two





Some beautiful camo painting on this one





A nice Airfix Hanover





A very nice,and big, Revell BV 222





These were all 144 scale, small and impressive



A nice scheme on this Macchi



More later

Part 2
A couple of helicopters. First a nice Hind



And a very colourful H 21



I liked the way the white on this had come out, it's also a pretty cool looking truck



With a nice load



Who doesn't like Elvira



Some of the dioramas
This one appealed because of the combi vans



This was a shot down Albatros on the morning of November 11 1918



This was very good all round, a well done crashed aircraft and some excellent water which even contained a hammerhead shark





Not sure if this was a liquid or a solid block of resin. Either way it looked heavy. The ship was nicely detailed too



A bit blurry but this Harbour Tug was very well detailed and weathered



More next post.

Part 3
This collection of small scale commercial vehicles. All done from various military kits from different manufacturers







Some box art







And finally something that I thought looked pretty good, a squadron of Spitfires all together



A schwarm of Messerschmitts



A Hurricane squadron



And lastly, a bit blurry, but these looked great together



That's my lot, enjoy.

The dioramas were the highlight of the show for me and especially that Tony as well as the sunken roma.

The Airifx display was put up by a good friend of mine, Peteer, and he did a top job considering the last few weeks he was ploughing through the kits to get them finished

i have my lot but until I get my internet on in the new place they will sit on the camera.

Great stuff! Thanks for posting

I really like those Airfix display stand sets - especially the comets!

You don't often see the grey/blue one being completed by anyone. There are a couple of other Comets schemes that are also done by a Canadian decal maker

The Roma was actually sitting in coloured water. I have shots from the other side which shows the main section sitting on a ledge

Some nice ideas there - I see the boxart phenomena has spread around the world now!
