Howdy lestweforget,
A hearty Congratulations!! goes out to you for both winning, and 'stealing'!
Hey, because the event was held in Australia, does that mean all the finalist's got a ceremonial pint of Foster's? :-)
In fact, that's a bloody good idea.....I think I'll have a Foster's when I get home tonight to celebrate your Win! (like I needed an excuse )

As I understand it, depending on state of origin Fosters may be an insult
Congratulation anyway, cant wait to view the pics

Well done mate. Couldnt get there this year.
LWF, what was the over all standard of the 1/35 kits in the comp like??
Any Aussie stuff??
I will have to agree with LWF, Fosters is an export beer. We dont drink it here in Aust.
