2016 SAPMA EXPO

Just a reminder for all the SA boys here, we've got the 2016 SAPMA expo coming up on the 15th & 16th of October.
Once again at the new, and better, venue at Immanuel College. And this year not clashing with Bathurst...thank f for that. No excuses now revheads.
I'll be there with a few of my recent builds, & I know 70cudatj will be too, so come on fellas, show ya faces again.
Ray, Rowan, Nosaj, Brad, Steve (VCV8),Will, Retrospect, Ren & Others, come along and catch up, put some stuff on display just to show it off, help fill the tables and show the military guys that cars, bikes and trucks are cool too.
We'd love to see all your work in the flesh.
Hope to see you guys there.

Cheers Anthony

Count me in, should have about 6 to bring along.

Be good to catch up and chat.

Anyone else going?

.... you had to ask?
Despite a family wedding on the 15th I'll be there, up for a chat too

What's the go with set up Antwon? I don't want to have to come down twice, to drop off/pick up models, etc.

From memory you have from 5pm Friday till 4pm Saturday to get your entries in and on the tables. The judging is done overnight Saturday. Award presentation is at 4?pm Sunday.
If you are just putting your builds in for Display only, then I'm sure you are free to put them on the table anytime and collect them anytime.
Anyone fell free to correct me if I'm wrong.
Give us an idea when you may be there and we'll make an attempt to catch up.

Cheers

Anthony

Will let you know mate. cheers.

Gday all,does this expo have stalls as well to buy models etc

GDay Chop, yep there are a number of vendors there selling all manner of modeling paraphernalia. I have to admit, a lot of Military subject stuff but there is usually a good number of vendors that sell tools and accessories that we all use.
Having said that there are also several guys that always sell kits at reduced prices, so worth a look. I usually pick something up each year, and quite often at a bargain price.
Come along and look at the displays, or even bring a few of yours down to put on the table.
You don't have to enter for judging, just put em on display and help fill the tables.
Hope to see you there.

Cheers Anthony

Does anyone have a rough idea when they're going to get there? I'm aiming for mid morning Saturday if everything goes to plan

no worries thanks antwon i mite bring some down i usually end up breaking them moving them once there on the shelf that"s were they stay lol but looking for wood to seeing some builds some of the builds i have seen on here are amazing

Hey SA boys, won't be able to make it sorry, but will start planning some builds for next years show!

That's OK Retro, book it in for next year mate........we'll take a bunch of pics for all to see.

Well done bro, great day for you

Thanks mate, congrats on the awards too. I love going to expos, so many ideas to take in. I've had some inspiration tonight and I think I'm going to have a crack at something a little different... and it's not another racecar!

Thanks mate. It's good to see all your work there
It's always a yearly highlight and it's such an inspiration boost, I'm sitting at the bench tonight deciding what's next, something new or just bloody finish some of the half built stuff I have!

nice pics, thanks for sharing

Thanks for shareing the photos of the SA model show of to Wagga next weekend looking forward to it Cheers

R36, I'm very keen to see what you come up with if it's not a racing vehicle...can't wait.
Col...I hope you do well at Wagga...make sure you show us what you guys get up to over there.
