SA Scale Model Expo

[Old Wombat]

Apart from my lower back & left hip deciding to act up towards the end of both days, yes, I did.


 ..... Although I seem to have missed bringing one of my builds home with me (the firefighting Crab). I have emailed the club secretary. Hopefully he'll get back to me.

That's a "B" mate, hope you get it back

I can't display the images directly but in the following photo link, near the centre of the right half, is a bloke with long white hair & beard, wearing a blue shirt & tan pants, who may just happen to be the author of this post.

On my rogues gallery as I type.   I understand a reward is on offer.

Not quite crisp enough for facial recognition software to get a lock...

Thanks for sharing all the pics.

Assuming the gentleman in question is the one wearing glasses then he reminds me of a few Disney film characters

Yes, he is wearing glasses, but he's never thought of himself as looking like any kind of Disney character, however one bloke at work does call him "Catweazle".

@Old Wombat , thanks for showing those photos of those lovely made models.
Hope you get back your firefighting Crab.

News on the "Crab" is good. The Club President of the SAPMA got back to me & he has it!

I just have to phone him to arrange a transfer of possession:

Hi Guy,
your model was spotted, and gathered up and safely with me, Club President

I live north east, so glancing at a map, easiest would be to meet somewhere around the Highgate/ Myrtlebank area for a safe return...

my number is  XXXX XXX XXX

great model, the Object 279 Hull and the wrecker cab with circular saw attachment and then done in CFS colours, that was an excellent build!!

regards

Jamie

A kind of slimmer (much slimmer) Burl Ives, when he was playing lovable characters rather than villains.
