South Australian Plastic Model Show 2018

[Clashcityrocker]

Made the annual visit to this event on Sunday October 14th. Here then are some pics ....

An overall view of the venue, Immanuel College in Morphetville. I was there at 9am and the place was fairly busy when I left 2 hours later





The club theme this year was, Animal Kingdom, so this large table of models named after animals was the first thing you saw

















Some armour















Cars and motorbikes. The Brough Superior was a very nice model. The wreck in the last 2 pics won first prize in its category, so you don't have to build a whole model, just build half very well





























More in a minute.

Some civil types, and a rocket, and a flying banana











Military aircraft













































Figures. I particularly liked Vincent Van Gogh









Dioramas



































A very sombre piece with the skull and hand in the mud. I also liked the condensation on the tank on the X-15.
Just a few more.

Last lot Softskin vehicles and a Bf110 instrument panel



Very nice Scammell. One of Dad's rides when he was with REME







Later on I saw this model with an artillery tractor body on it. I did like this display with the suspension working though













A couple of big rigs. I regularly see these Cleveland Freight Lines Kenworths on the main roads. It's a long drive East West across Australia





That seems to be all. Any comments or questions, don't hesitate to ask

Great photos Nigel, and thanks for taking the time to post them up! Some delightful builds amongst them for sure; my favourite has to be the Iraqi tank, who knew Saddam was a tanker!
The WW1 skull scene is very good, and very thought provoking; great imagination and execution

Thanks for your effort in taking and posting the pictures. There are a lot of fascinating models there, captured very well. Oddly enough, the E-100 (?) in the 1st batch caught my eye for the subtle camo stripes and mud/dust weathering.

Yes, the Maus. I too thought the camo and weathering was very well done on that kit

I can't remember the manufacturer or type of tank it was, but it was a big kit, bigger than 35th scale, and I liked the wear and weathering applied to it.
