Wish I could but I can't.

I'm going to have to sort out a calendar of events & a budget to attend one millenium.

[zenrat]

I'll be there Monday for the swa(m)p & s(m)ell and then to spend the day checking out all the builds.

It's this weekend!

I'm off this evening to help set up the Australian Model Car Club table (trucks this year - i'm taking 8 of my utes/pick-ups) and to enter some aircraft into the competition.  As always the intention isn't to win anything but to subvert the IPMS by stimulating the imagination of visitors.

[Old Wombat]

Have a great time, all who are attending!

I'll get there one year, I promise, but this year I'm working all weekend (Saturday through to Friday - Home Detention never rests!).

Well done!!! This is one of the duties of a member of Whiffworld.   Best of luck with your offerings

Were your ears burning?  Buzzbomb and I were talking about you.

Four offerings have been placed.  Two in the Imagineering class and two elsewhere.  One is on the table next to the AMCC stand so i'll be able to sit there and eavesdrop.

Is it really paranoia if they're talking about you?

[zenrat]

Slander?

[comrade harps]

I'll be there Monday.

And I've got 2 whiffs on the DSMC Russian table: the Red Swordfish and the Red BeSS-3 (Ki-43).

[zenrat]

Back home.  Good day.  Lots of socialising.
Photos will be posted eventually.
Before I get to that though I would like to report that Comrade Harps' beard is looking impressively bushy.

Some pictures.

I believe this was built by Uncle Les


Skyraider crop sprayer for Flyer.




Not whiffs but a nice collection of Manc, Lanc, Lincs & Shacks




Again, not a whiff but a clever use of different scales in a diorama


And finally, someone has attempted to model the spit from "that" picture.  I don't think they pulled it off but it's good to see someone try.


More pics here, including a pair of MacRobertson air-race Hornets.

[Flyer]

That is a nice looking Skyraider.

I like the flying boat above it also.

Cheers mate 

The use of different scales in that diorama is good. I've seen it used with figures of different scales in boxed dioramas but not with aircraft/armour before.

[zenrat]

I meant to post this one as well.  Not a whiff but its tiny (1/144 I guess - thats an A6 card its sitting on) and its rigged.
