The I really like the A7V the painting of the tank and the figures are excellent! Fantastic to see some of the Australian modellers displaying their art. Thank you Davo.

That A7V was a fave of mine. But like I mentioned in the caption at the very end, I had no idea it was based on a real photo until after the event. Once I found that out, it was even more impressive to me.

Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull once said that he gave up trying to be a lead guitarist when he heard Eric Clapton play because he knew that he'd never be that good. I get a similar feeling about model building when I look at some of these models! Oh, well...

@vincentrathbone26 5 жыл бұрын

I know the feeling.

@DavesModelWorkshop 5 жыл бұрын

No way! It should inspire you, not daunt you! Forget techniques, my take away is what cool models did I see that I want to try building myself, or what cool unexpected things do I want to try, like the UV light effect. Don't be too hard on yourself.

I had that feeling about getting into 3D animation about 20 years ago... now after doing a multitude of jobs I've hated, I'm finally having a crack at doing creative work that I love AND I regret being scared off and now realize that with a little effort I could probably have created the art that I feared!!

Truly a world class show! Camera equipment is just that equipment; but your videography was excellent you made me feel like I was at the show even though Iam thousands of Kilometres away here in Toronto Canada. The models speak for themselves they were all works of art and the imagination that went into displaying them was brilliant. Thanks so much for sharing your experience.

That F-14 under construction was robbed. Only reason I can think of is that it was "too clean". The current "Meta" is all about them panel lines, pre-shading, dot filters, pigments... Dave, next time please bring a banana so everytime you say "it's biiiggg" we can get a sense of scale?

Heh heh, I'll do the banana effect in 2020! Agreed about the F-14 - I can only guess that maybe its reference paperwork was somehow lacking, because it was a damn fine model...

Have to agree.. the TOMCAT was a fantastic build and I would often like to see model represented as a STRAIGHT OUT OF FACTORY build..I like both formats. Would like to know who built the TOMCAT?

Have I missed a prior gag or just have a bad mind?? Why a 'Banana' as reference?

@soupfork2105 5 жыл бұрын

Brad Houston “banana for scale” is an internet meme. I think it started when someone on Craigslist was selling a TV but didn’t have a tape measure to get the size, so he included a banana in the photo for scale. This went viral and was copied shamelessly and profusely. Ever since, bananas have been a healthy, renewable, nutritious and carbon neutral unit of measurement.

Totally agree, could see the pain staking amount of work that had gone into that Tomcat model that somehow came second??? The first place model was nice but quite bland in comparison and how long the build took compared to the Tomcat??? Poor choice I think.

The TOMCAT is amazing. Would appreciate more info. Think it was a TRUMPETER 1/32 Model but there must have been extensive scratch building to achieve the structural detail. Would like to know more. I was there for the last day and this model would surely have been best in show.

It was definitely a Trumpeter kit, I remember seeing that on the entry display card. But yes, as you say, SO much scratch building for that cutaway effect. It impressed the hell out of me too...
