Model Expo Melbourne 2020: Cancelled

[comrade harps]

Looks like I won't be having my annual meet-up with Fred this year thanks to covid19.

Model Expo has announced cancellation today.

This is getting stressful.

[zenrat]

Not unexpected.

Annoying though.

Agreed.

Well, look on the bright side, instead of wasting time at a show chin-wagging with friends, you can build more models at home --

I'll miss the swap and smell, though. Allways stock up on from esoteric bargains.

Exactly.  I won't impulse purchase kits I didn't know I wanted.  E-Bay isn't as good for that because you can 't handle them and you get thinking time.

Its the difference between searching and browsing. #SpotTheLibrarian

Presactly.

This weekend should have been Model Expo.
Today should have been the Swap and Sell.

To attempt to somewhat assuage my feelings of loss I surrounded myself with overweight men of dubious hygiene and worse manners and attempted to pull kit boxes from precariously stacked piles while they elbowed me and trod on my toes.
It wasn't the same.

Hopefully this time next year all will be back to normal.

So you went to work at the P.O. ? 

[zenrat]

No, public holiday today.

Ah right, so unless you went down the pub I'm at a loss as to your comparison. Or was it purely allegorical ?

It was humour Chris.

I did spend Sunday with Mrs z's oldest brother.  But he's pretty fastidious when it comes to personal hygiene and as ex Victoria Police if he elbows you, you stay elbowed.

Ah, right    I blame Lockdown for me not getting that
