G'day world, These are some photos of the various models that were seen at the 2014 QMHE, held in Brisbane, Queensland Australia in September of that year .
Included in these photos will be images from the various club stands that the members produced for the public's enjoyment.
There is a healthy club movement in this part of the world and Competition is always robust.
So, Please enjoy what you will see here, especially the pink F-15 that was submitted by one of the junior competitors.,
The venue was the Queensland Indoor table tennis association club house and the floor space is quite large.
I do apologise for the 'out of focus shots that will occasionally appear. :-)
All of these photos are in sequence as I moved along the long display tables that held all the competition models. :-)
This is the "Card" section, and I was totally amazed by what was on the table here, and it is becoming a most popular form of modelling now.
I just love how children see things and their interpretations are something special, as the following images will reveal.
Note the Fw-190 "Thunderbolt behind/above the "Pink Panther".
If you go back through these images you will see the scratch built aircraft catapault with the "Arado" on top, then when I was judging, I saw the back of the model and if YOU study it hard, you will see WHY I took this shot as it just completes the display perfectly. :-)

Wow. Outstanding work on display. Good to see this kind of interest.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Awesome pics and builds. Although I'm a bit scared of some kits hanging near / at the tables edges. I can imagine some clumsy oaf knocking it over. That won't bode well to the builder himself.
And let's not forget one last thing in every model contest show - the rivet counters.....
LOL!

Thank you for sharing, Kerry!

Thanks everyone and I am delighted to say that my winners were in there, but that was not the reason I posted them.
I am yet to post some more as I find the files I created on them, so be patient and I will also do the 2013 lot as well

Kerry, maybe you could reduce the amount of pictures in one post to about 15? It takes some time on my bandwidth to load your opening post...RedRoo wrote: Thanks everyone and I am delighted to say that my winners were in there, but that was not the reason I posted them.
