Cheers Ben, great pics mate. Thanks for posting them.
Planeteers dominated the Figures category again, with Ben Flood (Figure Lover) being awarded First Place in Vignettes with his conversion of "Stampede", which also was awarded the Empire Hobbies prize for Best Figure (thanks once again for your support Ian (busso boy)).
Ben also was awarded First place in Sci-Fi/ Fantasy figures for his magnificent Boba Fett and First in Large Scale figures with his Greek Fokides(?).
Daniel Kitsak (dannyk01) (16 years old) won the Intermediate Figures section and was also awarded the Vickeridge Prize for Best Junior Modeller for his Adolf Hitler figure.
Scott Murray (khogor) was awarded Highly Commended's for both his Pirate bust and his Chinese General (Jackie Chan) bust and did very well in the Sci Fi figures with his manga-esque "Proposal" figure and Mutant Spiderman. These won Places didn't they Scott??
Chris Walden (loosehead) came second in the Busts category with his Eastern Viking and Lloyd Chidgzey (Lloyd) came third with his scratchbuilt Ned Kelly bust (which was awesome).
I was fortunate to receive second and third in the Large scale figures category with my Royal Marine Commando and British Infantryman Afghanistan, First in Small Scale figures with my Roman Aqilifer, First in Busts with my 3rd New York Regiment militiaman and Highly Commended for my WW1 ANZAC vignette ("Journey's End").
WASMEx is a very small show by international standards, but its the most important event on the Western Australian modelling calendar, and a highlight in my year. Its vry pleasing to see kids, who weren't even born when we started WASMEx back in 1999, now entering their kits in the competition and enjoying the hobby of scale modelling.
