M Workshop News page

ah for once I actually might have something ready for this

so Sonny.....what you're building?

Hi guys, thank you for the interest.

The competition is but the icing on top of the cake.
It will bring an added dose of excitement to the event, which should be attended by all who are interested in scale modelling.
There will be live demonstration of techniques, hands-on airbrushing sessions and vendors will display magazines, tools and new releases.

The competition will be open to all brands and scales, within the categories listed.

This event will span several days. The dates and venue are still being confirmed.
Do come and rub shoulders with fellow modellers.
Stay tuned for more details...

Wowzers! So many categories! I'm gonna participate in every one of them! Yeah right, that's if I have plenty of time to kill... Guess I might try Aircraft, maybe a Auto, or hmmm....maybe I oughto complete that unfinished robot kit of mine... Now I have to choose...

I might pop down during the show.......as a guy who's starting all over again, I think it's more beneficial for me as a learning experience.......

At lease, I'll get to know more of my fellow modellers...

Will be popping down to check stuff out... Do keep us updated alright?

Will definitely sent in a few entries.
Got a German 8ton half track with AA guns standing by

Got a braille SAS jeep in the works since 2005 - almost finished its in the braille scale section of the armorama forum - not sure if there is a section for this in the competition.
