Hi there Nige, it was good to see you all again over the weekend. Beefy and myself enjoyed our stay once again and hopefully see you again next year. It was good to see Steve and Mrs C, I'm pleased she was able to attend. Keep in touch!

Hi Brian



Thanks to all the gang for saying hi at Perth. It was great to get together again and I hope you all at a good time. I had fun and enjoyed the weekend even more by slumming it in the caravan making it easier to enjoy a couple of beers for a change.

My pal Rab and myself shared a table where the focus was very much on his vast collection of rally cars, road cars, 4x4's and motorbikes.



This is just a small sample of Rab's collection and he manages to churn out each model in jig time with the same masterful paint finish with varied decal sets.



His personal favourites are his prized Scoobies in Mika Blue!!!!!!!!!!!!!













This is Rab himself (the ugly sod on the right)


This was our accommodation for the weekend


Rabs is the posh one on the right that even has a magazine rack
(and the magazines were of the other modelling kind)

Alex (who snores louder than the trains running in and out of Perth Station) made use of the table to get some build time on his Sunderland flying boat was glad to get some valuable hints and tips from all the guys he chatted to.



My wee collection managed to squeeze in nicely on the table but I would have loved to have had at least one of the G wagons finished by the show Oh how life gets in the way of hobbies











Never mind, there is always next year



All the best to everyone that made it and see you next year.

Strange, that doesn't look like the Perth I know.
