[Ian M]

Thank you for sharing the experience Richard.
Well Done. I think it took some doing to get a gong in that show. The judges had their work cut out!

 

[JayCee]

Congratulations Richard and thank you for the photo's.
John.

 

[Andy T]

It's taken me a while to go through all of those pictures and wow, there's some excellent work on display. And like Tim, the imagination & creativity shown impresses me as much as the finished product.

Very well done on receiving an award against such stiff competition!

 

[Jim R]

WOW!! Being able to attend a show like that must be an incredible experience. So many wonderful models to enjoy.

What always captivates me is the sheer genius of creativity on display. I couldn’t come up with anything close to most of those ideas if my life depended on it!

I totally agree Tim.

Congratulations on an award richly deserved.

 

[Andy the Sheep]

Great show and a nice load of pictures, Richard. Thank you for sharing.
Congrats for your award, is absolutely well deserved... and the competition was really hard considering the incredible standard of models and dioramas.

Thanks Richard the reward was more than well deserved Dave

Thank you Dave

Absolutely outstanding stuff Richard. Just breathtaking. The standard of modelling is exceptional, but that’s almost to be expected. What always captivates me is the sheer genius of creativity on display. I couldn’t come up with anything close to most of those ideas if my life depended on it!
Many thanks for posting these.

You're most welcome Tim, well they had 4 years to prepare and think over.

Absolutely superb - and your richly-deserved award to boot! Well done mate!
Steve

Thank you kindly Steve

This is smashing stuff - I salute your dedication to recording it all to share with us. Some of those figures are simply incredible - the freehand decoration on some is mindblowing!

You're welcome Paul. The one with the green background was freehand painted...crazy.

Thank you for sharing the experience Richard.
Well Done. I think it took some doing to get a gong in that show. The judges had their work cut out!

You're welcome too Ian. The entry idea has to be original, captivating and the story compelling. Took them all day and night to finalise results.

Congratulations Richard and thank you for the photo's.
John.

Thank you and you're welcome John

Thanks Andy. I had to choose some displays to focus and absorb what was before my eyes and missed out others that were equally good. Such was the quantity of talent around me from as far as Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, Philippines, Indonesia and Singapore.

WOW!! Being able to attend a show like that must be an incredible experience. So many wonderful models to enjoy.

I totally agree Tim.

Congratulations on an award richly deserved.

Yes Jim, I feel fortunate to have attended and what an experience it was. The loudest biggest applause and cheers were given to a first time junior category bronze winner...very emotional when she cried on stage. There's a picture of her in the registration queue squatting cradling her creation...worth the wait.

Great show and a nice load of pictures, Richard. Thank you for sharing.
Congrats for your award, is absolutely well deserved... and the competition was really hard considering the incredible standard of models and dioramas.

Thank you Andrea, nail bitingly close.

Cheers,

[Mini Me]

Nice pics. Richard and what a show! I am so glad to copped an award as I thought your attention to detail....particularly the vegetation and water aspects of your dio. were top notch in their own right, not to mention the rest of the build. Again, congratulations and thanks for sharing all the wonderful pics. of the event. :thumb2:

Nothing lucky about it. Great idea and excellent execution were what got you the gong.

 

[Mickc1440]

Great pictures of some brilliant models and figures, congrats on the award in the face of such stiff competition

 

[Neil Merryweather]

It's all been said but I must add my congratulations to you on a
well-deserved result in what is clearly an extremely high class field!
Now it's all over can we see a finished thread with pictures from all angles please?
Or is there one and I have missed it?

Thank you Rick and you're welcome.

Thanks Tim, there were so many other great builds that I count myself fortunate to have caught the judges eyes, am already thinking of the entry for next year.

Yes Mick, as mentioned the standard had risen in the last 4 years. Thanks.

No you haven't missed it Neil, I just haven't the time to photograph it with a suitable background. I need a large white backdrop so that it can be easily edited for our clubs next 3rd newsletter. I should share the past two editions as they look very professionally done.

There is a youtube video out on the Malcom 2023 show which features even more displays including the club stands. Ours is shown in the tail end. Somehow my Kure harbour had 3 angles more than the others...judges said I had put it in the wrong category and would have fared better under Diorama. Ms Tamaki suggested I should try it for next year.

Cheers,
Wabble
