Look out for my whiffed-up DUKW on the DSMC table: http://www.whatifmodelers.com/index.php/topic,38683.0.html

Will be there on the Saturday. May bring my Putty Hog piece ( related to the Carpet Monster) but not sure, hard to transport when coming by plane from Sydney.

Bring em all guys.

I will have a couple of Whiffers there as well
Be there all weekend, usually under a Starship Modeller hat.

I'll be there with a blue Dalek T-shirt with Keep Calm and obey, or if it's cold it will be covered in a grey jumper with a Richmond Tiger on it.

Just back from giving a hand to get the AMCC (Australian Model Car Club) stand set up.
I don't enter builds in expo but I do have some cars on the club stand. Look for the lego men.

Hardly anything on the tables yet but entries were rolling in.
The lighting is bad as ever.

Looking forward to returning on Monday to check out what's there and do battle in the swamp & smell.

Will be there Monday too.

Taking in the DUKW last night I caught a glimpse of what I think was a SM.79 in an awesome arid camo. Must find it again.

Yes, I saw that. Amazingly intricate airbrushwork. Didn't have my camera though.
It's on the table next to the Gundam club IIRC.

If I remember to take my camera on Monday, I'll post a pic here. Don't know if it's a real scheme, maybe a whif camo?

Pics posted in the Whiffs found a shows thread.

As far as I can tell, no one commented about the historical inaccuracy.
