2015 Wagga Show Poster

Hi guys,

I finally got a poster together for this years Wagga Wagga show, if you have any questions, just let me or John know

-Dion

Hi guys Just a quick update, the Truck Muster is Mack & Renault

Should leave it at one or the other (there'll be more than enough others in the rest of the categories anyway), Mack alone opens it up to the cruiseliners, superliners, R bangers, then all the aftermarket ones, Trident, Titan, B model, M series, fire trucks etc etc...

Although, with the option of the Renault, I guess you could build a Renault Magnum and put Mack badges on it (same truck after all)...

Now I've just got to get one of the Mack's finished, I have a tri drive Trident on the bench, an RM6866RS that is still in the very early scratchbuilding stages, and a Superliner stashed away too.

It will have to stay as both, some people have started Renault models already.

I need to clear out some of my unfinished models before I even start looking at starting a Truck, lol

Seeing as the poster was released over a month ago, and it only said Mack, and you only announced 3 days ago that it is Renault also, then they started working on the wrong trucks


I certainly hope this isn't going to be a repeat of the recent Illawarra model show, kit models being entered into (and winning) the scratchbuilt category, a ute winning the truck category, planes winning categories for the wrong years etc...

We did mention both at the show, (which is why some people have stated already) but when I made the poster I neglected to add the Renault, and it's for both so no mater what brand they make Mack or Renault, they can go into the muster.

And if you see anything in the wrong category let the club know as soon as possible, ans we will look into it.

I need to actually pull my finger out and join the club seeing as I'm going to be a 'local' for the next couple of years.

No worries, Anyone is welcome to join, we are a friendly bunch, what sort of stuff do you like to build?

1/24 & 1/25 trucks, rarely out of the box. I'll have a 1/25 Demag AC665 crane on display at the show that was entirely scratchbuilt, as well as a K104 (Auslowe conversion) and a Harley Davidson edition Lonestar Wrecker that was a combination of kit bashing and scratchbuilding...

I just need to find time to finish either my Mack RM6866RS (one of the Army's wreckers) or the Mack Trident that I've got partially started...

I know the feeling, we moved a few months ago, and I'm still trying to get stuff sorted and unpacked, I do mostly modified cars, and a bit of anything, we have a few truck guys in the club

Hey Dion, if I ever manage to finish the recycled Mack, will it be eligible for the Mack muster?

Yep, If it is a Mack it is eligible for the muster

Hey ! the macks in the muster , can they be any scale ?

Hay Scummy, yep any scale, as long as it's not die-cast metal, What scale were you thinking?

Its a die cast kit meant for model train people . Its an ulrich kit and you have to file the burs off and then you build and paint the trucks . Google them and see the different ones .

I cant remember the brand but this is a 1/87 scale metal casting kit its been Australianised and had a lot of extra details added.

How about one in N-scale.

I never seen the b model before .

Both are in the Truck page, you have to look for them.

Hi Scummy,

I had a quick look and a Ulrick kit should be fine, I look forward to seeing it

Ok , it's all i got thats build in the mack stable . My wife noticed it at a swap meet so we fixed it up painted it . It came up pretty good , i brought a couple of early kenworths back in the 70's but never built them .

You allowed to attend this year Scummy????? There'd be a wedding anniversary on wouldn't there......................

I tell ya' Rob, Scummy will have to do what he's told !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! just like the time before, and the time before that.

Hopefully by now he's been able to work out his place  in the "pecking order" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! " Poor Bugger"

God people whinge about shows and catagories, they should try organising and running a show if it's so easy to do and get perfect.
Who cares the social side of it and checking out each others plastic crap is the highlight of any show in my opinion.
Hopefully we'll be there, health permitting and might even have a Mack built for it.
