The Queensland Model and Hobby Expo 2014

Post by RedRoo »

:dancing: 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 :writing: .

:yahoo: Included in these photos will be images from the various club stands that the members produced for the public's enjoyment. :violin:

:DI: There is a healthy club movement in this part of the world and Competition is always robust. :ggun:

:nothing: So, Please enjoy what you will see here, especially the pink F-15 that was submitted by one of the junior competitors.,
:whiteflag:

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.

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.....

Thank you for sharing, Kerry!

:writing: Thanks everyone and I am delighted to say that my winners were in there, but that was not the reason I posted them. :whistle:

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 :clockwatch:

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... :clockwatch:

Thanks, mate!
