The QMHE was slightly smaller in volume compared to the number of entries in the 2014 Competition.
But never mind, as the quality of these models was exquisite.
This rusting Loco won the overall championship and was featured in "Oz Art" a scale modelling magazine here.
And this "Stage Coach" is seen the world over.
This is a scene from the movie "Mad Max" and just zoom in on this and marvel at this guys work. and he travelled over 500Km just to present this diorama. !!!
This is a "Card" model.
This one is mine,

I do not know how it is in Australia but overhere (in the Netherlands) we only have one or two events a year so any event is good. Even if it is small.
Do you have some pictures? So we can get an impression of the modelling scene down under.

Nationally we have quite a few going on all year long, as Australia is made up of many states and Cities.BorgR3mc0 wrote:I do not know how it is in Australia but overhere (in the Netherlands) we only have one or two events a year so any event is good. Even if it is small.

And yet, strangely, we are in the 'back waters' when it comes to getting aftermarket stuff, because there are no shops here that are willing to carry all that stock, so the modellers have to pay a pretty high price for some things.
Here come the pics now, so grab that pop corn and a beer. ENJOY.

Those are indeed some outstanding models. The Mad Max dio is my favorite, I have never seen something like that!

Everybody who stood in front of it were looking at it for ages and the guy that built it was asked thousands of questions on how in God's name did he make all the bits that were "In the Air" stay that way.BorgR3mc0 wrote:Those are indeed some outstanding models.

I love the Frogfoot aircraft. Mad Max diorama is simply stunning.
