Hi Allen - well done on the award :thumb2:

I used to do competitions and who won was always a bit of a lottery and impossible to predict

Stuff that looked great didn't win anything and total rubbish did

The worst case I came across was an old bloke that turned up every year with the same old models that must have been built years ago - Airfix out of the box. Myself and others that had spent ages detailing and painting lost out to an old model, covered in shelf dust, silvered decals and with a wheel missing! I found out later that he was something to do with organising or sponsoring the competitions :thinking:

Anyway yours is well deserved, keep up the good work

Very well done Allen

Hi Allen,
If I had gotten a hold of John's birds nest I'd have made some soup for you...goes well with rock suger and ginger. Get well Bro.

Simon, I guess his medals were for turning up every year and being persistant. :smiling6:

Hi Allen
Congratulations. Well deserved. I have often been somewhat puzzled by judges decisions when looking around competitions.
Hope you feel better soon

Keep on modeling,

Good Evening All,

Trying to get back into the swing of things and I am feeling a bit better.. I want to Thank you all for the congrats and the best wishes for a speedy recovery and...

Dude 2 - Much better thanks and the wheels are nice, but fiddly, to say the least. See below Buddy

Rick - Thanks Killer!!! Trying to come up with a brain fart for next years show though...

Simon - Thanks too my friend. It was a shame that we didn't get to chat at the show,

but I know that defending the Galaxy from the dark side is a humongous job. Maybe next year...

Mick - Thanks so much Sir!!! I really didn't believe it though for my first time...

Richard - That is so kind of you my man. I did end up getting me a bag of Halls Menthol Eucalyptus Mind Blowers and they helped the throat and lungs. Don't worry about Stevie. I think he's been dead for a while...

Jim - A big thank you to you Jimbo!!! Your support and kind words always keep me going and trying to do better!!!...

Although being under the weather, I have been sitting at the table and doing things. The parts were slowly getting glued together and on Thursday they looked like this...
[ATTACH]317916[/ATTACH]
The new punch set was a good weight to keep the sideboards straight. I also started hairy sticking on the motor and then fell asleep. On Friday, the hairy stick work continued as well as the cleaning up of more pieces...
[ATTACH]317917[/ATTACH]Mostly dark gray on the interior. The interior also had a lot of wood pieces incorporated into it as well as the door frames. These will be done when the seats are finished. Saturday and today was more paint and some organization of the sub-assemblies…
[ATTACH]317919[/ATTACH]It's beginning to take shape now...
[ATTACH]317920[/ATTACH]Seats with the first coat on, motor finished (won't be seen at all) with the exhaust pipe and notice the clear part for the tail lights. I want to get all the parts on to make it easier to shoot a coat on it. I can paint the red lens in them afterwards…
[ATTACH]317921[/ATTACH]Another view of the clear parts. The resin tires were prepped and the rear hubs CA'd to the inside rear tires to set up where they have to be attached to the axle. A little tricky, but I think I got the spacing right on them. I also sawed off the front rim tube pieces and glued them to the inside of the resin front wheels to give the resin rims a better mounting point on the front axles. So far, so good...……………..

A short update tonight and I hope to get more done tomorrow after work. Yup, vacation is over and it's back to the grind in the morning. Thank you all again for your best wishes and support. Have fantastic week and see you on the other side…

Prost
Allen
