This is overused but great models, all! Love the 'in-action' tank - had to inspect the photo for the sand off the tracks. The wood on the CWT - great effect.

I really would like to see more info on all of the models. I think they all deserve at least some mention of the builder and what model is used.

Hopefully there were more entries than this. If not, we modelers need to dust off some shelf queens and get building

It IS a Merkava, my error. I'd love to see more photos of it and find out how the sandstorm from the tracks was made.

Now there's a plan! Sophocles' Oedipus Rex won second prize for that year's Athenian drama contest. The first place winner has been lost to posterity.
