There some good entries and of course there are the upstarts, which are encouraging.
This is an interesting threesome of Triceratops, named Family Outing. The poor chap won nothing for his great effort. Never mind, we see you again next year, not me, but I will be a spectator, given the poor judging critirium and experience, which will likely kill the show, and bring the standard down hill since all the top pissed of players are fed up and may bow out, that is now a confirmed likely path of progression unless something is done by Stargek to rectify this secret squirrel thing about winners, judges and the damn one prize per person policy plus the price fixing at the showroom. Wanna give then give, most modellers are quite well to do type, not boys begging for some cheap thrills.
Grand Master Paul Quek earned my respect in the late 70s and early eighties with entries like Russian Bullfight etc.... this legend produced this epoxy putty sculpted on the potato faced figures Tamiya is famous to make and made it looked good. Some chaps told me the eyes are too big, what the heck......if you are screaming after the enemy in your fatherland and smelling sweet revenge for the 2.8 million Russians the German Blitzkreig took, your eyes will pop as well.
Simple, sweet and long time painting effort pays off, the grand winner Paul Quek.
The GIs with the T Rex won the most creative award. The Dino has good overtones but a little too dark, if it can be lightened abit then it will make a great diorama! The theme is killer enough! One advice, actually, its is damn good, if it joined the Diorama category, it would have won more money for the same price....bro, strategy sia! Tip tip liao, can share share booty next year since I never join.
1/16 scale Wehrmach or something, not sure who put in this since the whole competition is secret squirrel type.
This is Ah Tan's. Took alot of effort in building the base of foam and a lot of interesting stuff. Great T34 turret as well. Congrats to our brother!
