It’s pretty incredible how you can create such detailed master pieces in such short periods of time. Thanks very much Chris, to be honest it surprised me a little when I gathered up what I’ve built in the last few months, there was more than I thought!

Great builds there John 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CallumC Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 The ford tippers needing a load of grain or lime (in the tipping motion) that would really set it of. Once again another very nice model you've made 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Johnson Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 That's a lovely layout piece. I like the old stone buildings and walls. It's taking some time catching up but it's really enjoyable. 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I was finally persuaded to give it a go Paul, so fingers crossed I can get the display ready along with some shelves behind to display models on....there’s a lot more work goes into these things than you realise, still very much looking forward to the day though! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing ventured nothing gained John, your bound to be a bit apprehensive being at the wrong side of a table at a show but your handiwork deserves the credit that irs due, I know you're not chasing glory, but it be great to see you showcase your builds. From what I remember the mart cafe grub was good too 👍 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I think it’s important to support a new show like this if possible, it’s easy to say how much we all miss Penrith, hopefully offering a little support helps this one build on those foundations and takes the show in a new direction 👍 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll be a 4 year or so since was last in there just before the covid job started but couldn't knock it... Yes your right though good bit of support will hopefully help it become a yearly event and not be the end of the road. Be grand to have a catch up though and admire some more of your handiwork 👍 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
