South Australian Plastic Model Show

Post by Clashcityrocker »

The weekend of 10th and 11th October saw the running of the annual model show and competition of the South Australian Plastic Modellers Association. Here are the pics I took. They may not be the winners or best, but just the ones I liked. First the cars.
This was a nice Combination

Image

A 1958 Mazda, nicely painted and weathered

Image

Here's one you don't see everyday

Image

Some military subjects, all 1/72 scale

Image

Image

Image

More to come

Some aeroplanes. Wingnut Wings 32nd scale

Image

Image

Image

I think this was a 48th scale Komet

Image

Some 72nd scale planes

Image

Nice Heinkel

Image

Because I recently finished an Italeri Seahorse, here's a Hobbyboss Choctaw

Image

Here's another I had a go at

Image

Not the new Airfix, I'm guessing Italeri?

Image

Just because I liked it :)

Image

This is just to prove to myself that it does all fit together. Doesn't look too shabby either :grin:

Image

Colourful scheme

Image

Nice colour variations

Image

That's not all.

More planes. Some whatif schemes.
A desert Hawk

Image

Three versions of the Airfix Lightning. A Finnish scheme. Nice missile trolleys

Image

Indian. Someone broke the probe off :sad:

Image

Italian. Awesome paint

Image

Image

Crap at cockpits? Put a tarpaulin over it :grin:

Image

This was a scratch built sci fi subject. I don't recall what the builder called it, it had something to do with elephants, and this is elephant shaped, and has a baby elephant as the driver in the cockpit. Not my bag, but I can appreciate the effort that's gone into it :grin:

Image

Still a couple to come. don't go away :)

A couple of motorbikes. Nice vintage subject

Image

Everybody look at da chopper!

Image

This was cool, it was based on a photograph which was displayed underneath

Image

Here's a very dynamic diorama. The builder called it 'An English Tragedy', it depicts a pair of Landrovers being blown up. I think it was expanding foam used as the explosion. Pretty thought provoking

Image

Image

Image

Some armour in 48th scale. First a Tiger

Image

A Patton

Image

This may have been 35th scale, I don't remember :???:

Image

Screen saver anybody? :grin:

Image

Maybe this one :shock:

Image

And that is my lot. Hope you enjoyed. :grin:

If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing

The Apollo Command/Service Module and Lunar Module looked really good. The colours looked spot on.
