Hi all, just recently attended and had a great time at this annual show held in the island of Penang. Basically a three and a half hour drive up North spending three nights and four days there. The show was held at the usual Cititel ballroom for two days. I hitched a ride up with two fellow modelers and stayed at Cititel. Two of us got medals, my buddy got a bronze for his dio and me a silver for my ugly little tank. The competition was stiff this year with armor having more than a hundred entries. As usual I helped out with our SMM group displays bringing stuff on D-Day as that was one of three themes we decided on. The others were Planes of Butterworth through the years and SMM's past medal winners and latest works.
We were treated to the cream of Asia with participants from China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Vietnam, Thailand, Lebanon, Singapore, Phillipines, Indonesia, Austrailia, New Zealand and Spain.
I was practically busy manning the table so most of the photos are shared from the chat group so apologies for some blurred ones...
The start of journey and set up.... begins with my stash on the bench waiting for transport followed by photos of other displays and a dodgy character... :smiling3:

I had the priviledge to meet Imad Bouantoun whose a well known Lebanese diorama builder judging at the show. He told me he was thrilled that he could see my R&R dio up close after catching it on Facebook two years ago.
Next batch...
