Many congratulations on your medals, very well deserved. Also thanks for the images you and Pete for taking the trouble to post so many images.
Quick question - how do you transport the builds without incurring any damage?

Being a member of the modelling dark side, we have the ability to mind meld them to the show.... What a load of garbage....

Seriously - I obtained a couple of plastic bread trays via Evilbay they are about 1mtr x 150cm with a 50mm wall. To stop the models sliding around I taped (double-sided) some bubble wrap into the bottom and use rolled up lengths to stop and sideways movement.
They are easy to carry and once the public get a dig in the ribs from the corner, you get complete freedom of movement... Seen too many modellers using flimsy cardboard boxes where the bottom falls out because the selotape gave up holding the bottom closed.

One of my photos shows how someone did it - bread tray lined with expanded polystyrene and toothpicks to stop the models sliding about.

Many thanks Wabble, there were some really good builds there and the BoS really deserved it, like two peas in a pod we both watched each others model grow in the club.

Will try to find out tomorrow for you.

I suspect it's a Fujima kit. They can go for silly money or postage from abroad is equally as silly!!

[Andy T]

Plenty of stunning work on show there!

Congratulations on the gongs Mike.

[Neil Merryweather]

As expected, total success Mike.

Looking at the photo again, I think it's a box sold for under-bed storage.
