See you there tomorrow guys & don't forget to come say Hello!!

Andy and I will be at the Detail Downunder Stand all day!!

Kilmore has come and gone and was a great show again this year, although confusion in the awards ceremony had lots of people confused! Andy and I headed out early (I forgot about daylight savings ending and got up way to bloody early) Andy took a photo on our departure from my house


we arrived around 8:30am and set up our models and the trade table,Andy was finally gald to sit down!


we had some good sales during the day and meet a few modellers from around the nation with people from Tassy,Sydney and Perth attending along with those from all corners of Victoria. Adrian drove up from St kilda for a look and chat (Great to see a fellow AMCC member attend)

Andy cut that out!!!

Here's some pics of most of the show

Trucks,Trucks and more Trucks you could almost smell the Diesel fumes!!!










At 1/16th scale these were HUGE!!

cool old tow Truck

Awards (yes some of these came home with us!)

My son Edsel took home second in Junior! He's pretty happy
His Purple Mitsubishi Evo Tuner is his second build so far with lots of brush painting. The Old T'bird on the table was his first build.

Andy took out first and second in the box stock class!

A good day was had by all.................

Andy you really got to stop drinking so many cans of V mate!!
He's how he looked when I dropped him home last night.

looks like you all had a good 1. andy looks buggered in that last pic, been mixing V with NO-DOZE
congrats to your young bloke on his 2nd place paul and to andy also...

Thanks tj.. was a great day. Im wrapped with my 4 trophies..
I met some very interesting and talented people.
I'm still gob smacked by the amount of trucks.. The sizes of them were breath taking, to say the least!
1/16th scale trucks, with full load trailers.. wow. these guys are awesome.
There was a 1/24 truck and road train.....would've had at least 5 trailers..maybe 6.
The cars were the highlight for me though.. Nice to see some different builds amongst them, instead of the same cars in every comp.


Thanks to Paul and DetailDownunder for getting me to WOOPWOOP and back safely.. I had a great day..
Next year is gonna be even better!

Great show, well worth the drive. Got to have a chat to the Grand Poobah.
I took a few pics before the battery died in the camera. (forgot to charge the battery, STUPID) I will post them as I get time.
congratulations to Edsel and Andy for their trophies.
