Let me know if you would like to book a site.

Also our club will have a table of kits priced to clear, so make sure you are all cashed up!
We are also thinking of having 'mystery' kits for sale.
Thats right!  Kits wrapped in plain paper with a price on it.  All that you will know, is if its a car, truck, military or plane.  They will be new, factory sealed kits and priced at or below retail.
Anyway, let us know what you think, and if its worth a shot.  Hoping it might be a bit fun.  You can always palm of the unwanted to a friend

Any other questions, just let me know.
See you all there.  Cheers.  Tim

I might just make it this year. Not sure about getting any new builds completed tho.

Will be great to have you back here again Carps - new builds or not

Mystery kits sound good, hoping to be there again this year also!

Thanks for your feedback Paul - I reckon we might give it a go. Looking forward to catching up with you again also mate.

Hmmm, The mystery kits for sale deal sounds like fun and I have an idea for the themed thingie!
Which creates two small questions, plus a bigger one.

Is a diorama OK, can Die Cast be used ?

Will I manage to get anything done in time?

Hey Carps...the bigger, bigger question is:  will you be in Japan again buying more toys
Your ideas for the theme will be OK:  Diecast is good, diorama is good - a diecast diorama might be a bit heavy...

Nope, not headed out of the country for some time, too much going on here.

The diorama is underway already. So much for doing what I planned to be doing today. A die cast car and some plastic, maybe a bit of wood too, shoukld be light enough.

Mystery kits idea sounds interesting.

I've found an Italian and I may even build it OOB...

I've slowed down, but I should get going again soon.  I have all the bits to do my Italian.

GHard to believe but I actually got something done, looks like my plan may come together afterall.

Italy, Yup a week in Rome for the new cars and wherever else I can make it to check out some old cars!

Good news is it's before the Ballarat NNL, so I should be back in time, may even have to change my plan if Itally throws something else up that I think is batter than my current lame idea.

I haven't been to this show in what 10 years. As Carps has offered to give me a lift im looking forward to this very much. Oh and ill make sure to bring cash.

Looking forward to this.
I've ended up building two Italians.  Yet to finish them - Rob's death knocked me back a bit but i'm all fired up now.

2 sleeps to go.
2 Italians still to finish.
Its going to be tight.

Clock is ticking Fred...
Tick,tock,tick,tock,tick,tock.....

No worries Artus... but only if the extension is for the model/toy/hobby room.  
Another great show done and dusted!  Thanks to all the guys and gals that came along.
