Wagga Wagga 2016 Show - Change of date -

Big news, we have had to change the date of this years show to 22nd & 23rd of October 2016.
We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause

What a busy weekend.
IPMS meeting
APMA scale model show
Wagga Show and Expo
What to do???????????

STOP CRYIN for a start ! . Wagga is the important thing

Any idea why the change of dates? Months of careful planning, crawling, sucking up and promising to do stuff i don't want to do has just gone out the window. I've been busy manipulating family commitments, gatherings with the inlaws and all that sort of business to discover I'm a weekend out. I won't cry but I could. As your average kind of bloke, it took a long time for me to feel like I actually had a say in how and when things happened - it was to good to be true. Back to square 1! I don't mind the re organizing, it's the smug looks and smart arse comments from the women that I can do without cause we all know that they'll ask how many more goes will I need!!

Hi Deaf as,
The change of date was due to a double booking, and it was either change the date or find another location that is within the budget, we have confirmed the new date, and have paid a deposit to keep it, (which we have not had to do in the past) once again sorry for the inconvenience.

All good Dion, at least I know which tricks to use this time to make the whole process shorter - or does she just know what's coming now????????

Might consider a trip to Wagga--if I have any money left from a Bathurst 1000 weekend and The Monaro Nationals at Penrith Paceway on October 14-15-16-17th. My Monaro is already entered for that. Going to be a busy month?

We be there mate , wouldnt miss it .

Thanks guys, I'll look forward to seeing you all again

Hi guys, any thoughts on who is going this year? I'm going and my lovely wife is threatening to come. Beary Crafty says she will have the GRM double done and plans to bring it along. Any word on traders Dion?

Hi Tim,
Sorry it has taken me so long to get back to you, as for traders, one of the other guys is doing the trader list, but I think most of the usual will be there, except for Model Art, and I think we will have a few new ones, still to confirm as yet. We are also going to do some memorial trophies for Rob

A few pics from this year's show. Think i am pretty close on the details but will stand corrected!                                              
Bearycrafty got 2nd place for her GRM B Double. It didn't travel at all well and was a credit to her to get it on the table.( things got pretty intense when the travel box was opened!)


And Col65 grabbed 1st with the KW in the multi combination class.


This Transtar took home the trophy for this years truck muster - International.


1st place rigid truck.


2nd place in bobtail trucks. Builder also won the inaugural Rob Burns Memorial Trophy but I'm not sure if it was for this build or 1 of his cars - all nice work!


Big scale KW built from wood won best scratchbuilt and i think peoples choice.


2nd place to Col65 for his hook bin truck. Looks great in the flesh Col

To be continued.

Great lineup Tim, some very nice trucks indeed.
Congrats to Beary, glad the GRM made it. Congrats to Col too for the double wins, and to all that placed.
The big wooden KW is a work of art as well.

Thanks for sharing.

Some great photos thanks for sharing then, to all wins

A few more.

Scratchbuilt cabs on both of these?


Ladies trucks with 1st,2nd & 3rd place certificates. The blue KW is the first ever model for the builder including the sprayed paint job.







And here are the winners of the Muttley awards. He can explain if needed.


The last 2 pics are of some of the items in the intermediate class.

Great looking builds , thanks for taking the time to post the pics .

Some more cool ones there Thanks for sharing them.

Congratulations to all those involved with the running of this show. This is a family weekend away for us and as such I don't spend a lot of time at the show but always enjoy it and the people. I got the chance to put a few faces to some of the names on here - great guys! Numbers seemed a little down this year but the standards seem to lift a little more each year. looking forward to next year already!!
