Thanks Richard the reward was more than well deserved Dave

[Tim Marlow]

Absolutely outstanding stuff Richard. Just breathtaking. The standard of modelling is exceptional, but that’s almost to be expected. What always captivates me is the sheer genius of creativity on display. I couldn’t come up with anything close to most of those ideas if my life depended on it!
Many thanks for posting these.

This is smashing stuff - I salute your dedication to recording it all to share with us. Some of those figures are simply incredible - the freehand decoration on some is mindblowing!

[Ian M]

Thank you for sharing the experience Richard.
Well Done. I think it took some doing to get a gong in that show. The judges had their work cut out!

[JayCee]

Congratulations Richard and thank you for the photo's.
John.

It's taken me a while to go through all of those pictures and wow, there's some excellent work on display. And like Tim, the imagination & creativity shown impresses me as much as the finished product.

Very well done on receiving an award against such stiff competition!

[Jim R]

WOW!! Being able to attend a show like that must be an incredible experience. So many wonderful models to enjoy.

I totally agree Tim.

Congratulations on an award richly deserved.

Thank you kindly Steve

You're welcome Paul. The one with the green background was freehand painted...crazy.

Thank you for sharing the experience Richard.

You're welcome too Ian. The entry idea has to be original, captivating and the story compelling. Took them all day and night to finalise results.

Congratulations Richard and thank you for the photo's.
John.

Thank you and you're welcome John

Thanks Andy. I had to choose some displays to focus and absorb what was before my eyes and missed out others that were equally good. Such was the quantity of talent around me from as far as Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, Philippines, Indonesia and Singapore.

WOW!! Being able to attend a show like that must be an incredible experience. So many wonderful models to enjoy.

I totally agree Tim.

Congratulations on an award richly deserved.

Yes Jim, I feel fortunate to have attended and what an experience it was. The loudest biggest applause and cheers were given to a first time junior category bronze winner...very emotional when she cried on stage. There's a picture of her in the registration queue squatting cradling her creation...worth the wait.

Great show and a nice load of pictures, Richard. Thank you for sharing.
Congrats for your award, is absolutely well deserved... and the competition was really hard considering the incredible standard of models and dioramas.

Thank you Andrea, nail bitingly close.
