G'day guys
Well, although theres one more day to go, the show has been a complete success, something like 4000 people attended, which is alot, they came from all over, NSW, QLD, TAS (aussie states), and i would think its fair to say, most of those people walked past and looked at our stand.
I lost count of the amount of people that asked me about armorama, the museum, or just my models.
Ricky (Achtung) wasn't gonna come until tommorow, but he changed his mind, and i got him to bring along some of his models to make it a true armorama display :-)
Here is a pic of all the melbourne members of Armorama.

:-) :-) :-) at least we outnumber armorama timbuktu.

Ok so here are some general shots of the expo













That's our display, the KV-1, Marder, and truck (sorry forget its name) are Ricky's, the rest is mine.
theres another pic of some people checking it out.

Well all in all i had a great day, hope you enjoyed it too Ricky.
Cheers guys

Hi Dave,

Thanks for the pics - very interesting. Wished I'd known about this show earlier (but thanks for the heads up yesterday!).

Recognise a few of the other punters there. Pity you didn't have a little more space to do some 'hands-on' modelling!

Enjoy tomorrow.

Regards,
Adrian

Thanks for the coments guys
Adrian, next year be sure to come along.
Yeah all the guys from WSMC were there, Frank Morgan also showed up, he's still keen on working with me on a few articles which is good, asked John to come but he couldnt make it this time either, but he's said next year itll be on, so that should be good.
Cheers

David

Looks like a good show with plenty of variety for the spectators.

I see it is also getting cool there - you should make the journey to tropical Queensland for our warmer climate. :-)

Hopefully it is such a success that it is on again next year.

Thanks for posting the pictures. Look like a great show. The best was seeing the two of you. It's nice to see fellow Armorama modelers. You're table and models do us proud.
I'm glad you had fun and that you represented Armorama so well.

Chuck
