Well done Robert perhaps you would like to send some pictures in to be turned into a photo feature.

Congrats Robert! Being as that's the Fall Show, do you know if there is a summer show as well? I've been looking to enter some of my models in a show, but so far I've been unable to attend one due to scheduling...

Well done on your 2nd place Robert, but to be honest we can't really see very much of your work from that one (fairly poor) photo.

Okay, everyone wants to see more pictures so here are some. Please bare in mind that I have only been modeling for three months and this is my first diorama. I am so surprised and happy to have won. The winner was amazing and I will upload some photos of that one in a bit.

Thanks again for your congratulations and support.

Robert

thanks for posting a few more pics of your winning scene and the other diorama which is very well done too. looks like there is lots of talent on the Wet Coast.

you definitely have a knack at putting together a great diorama regardless of how long you have been modeling. will you be planning on going to the Nanton Western Canada Show in May 2011?

i hear it has 600 entries and the best stuff is published in Finescale Modeler's Great Scale magazine each year. cheers, bd.
