The 2015 and 20th Aniversary meet of the QMHE.
This won gold in the DIO-1 section
This was just simply stunning, absolutly. !!!
The number of WW1 Aircraft that have been entered over th years is prompting the addition of a new catagory.
The "Kitty Hawk's" Bronco.
"Waiting for the wreckers".
A most stunning F-104.
It was a real crowd puller this one.
This was the display by Brisban Truck and Car club SM, and Rosie had all the kids lookin for the cat, the crowe, the birds nest and anything else that they had hidden there, but it think it is the best club display I have ever seen. Atypical Ausie junk ya
This is a card stock model, and the guy who built it got out of Iraq just as the war started there, and I am so glad he made it, as it would have been so sad to lose a talent like this, and he is also a good mate too.
I love this model, and it is exactly what a tank looks like after a "Brew up" and left to the elements . It got Gold.
This was just fantastic to see.
Historic fact. "This was the 190 that Herman Goering had coated in real gold as a gift to Adolf Hitler, and it won gold, as the overall look and finish was the best I have ever seen.
Three 1/144 gems.
The next lot of images are some of the most moving I have ever seen. Scenes taken from photographs of when the ANZAC legends were born at Gallipoli in Turkey 1915.
Look closely and the true feeling of all that happened there comes to life, some extraordinary detail was done on these scenes.
For those who do not know what ANZAC means, they were the capitol letters of "Australian And New Zealand Army Corps". A time and place that cemented out two countries together in the blood of war, being part of the British Commonwealth. "Lest we forget".
🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 👍
The "Peoples Choice" was awarded to my diorama of the "War weary" B-17G being readied for her long flight home.
The peoples "Gong". 🙂

Kerry COXThe standard this year at the QMHE was head and shoulders over last years, and the number of people through the door was double. It was a wonderful display all round.

Kerry COXGuido, That is so nice of you to say all those things mate. It certainly was the biggest thrill I have had for years LOL 🙂
25 August 2015, 23:13
Choppa Nutta....... I can thoroughly recommend bungy jumping, that's thrilling too😉
26 August 2015, 01:03
Bart Goesaertlike the diorama with the gun that they are pulling uphill a lot... only minor thing is that one can see the wires that make the fallen tree, but otherwise...
So much nice models on that show...

Gareth WindsorWell done mate. after the work you put in you were going to walk away with something. Some fantastic models here.
26 August 2015, 08:07
Kerry COXIt was a brand new venue, and it was just so easy to 'access all areas'.
I am looking forward to next year. 🙂
26 August 2015, 08:23
Gareth WindsorYou chose a great background story for the dio this year which maybe another reason for the award you won. I can't wait to see what you come up with next time.
26 August 2015, 08:38
Kerry COXActually, the public knew nothing of the background story, and I won the award purely on it's visual impact.:-/
I wanted to place a "Story sheet" on the frame but It was something I was 'encouraged' not to do. !!
