2012 Model Expo & Competitions - Gallery

Picture
Fun and enjoyment was had by most everyone who attended our Model Expo held over the weekend of the 21st & 22nd of July, at the Invercargill Working Men's Club.  Undoubtedly, our most successful show to date had big displays filled with models, a model rail layout, and plenty of competition entries on tables for the public to enjoy and muse over.  With continuous modelling demonstrations, a big screen television providing background war documentaries, and a collection of noisy ForceFX lightsabers for the kids to indulge in their Jedi fantasies, it was certainly an entertaining place to be.  The popularity of the event was clearly demonstrated by the record crowds that queued up at the doors on Saturday morning and continued to steadily stream in over the entire weekend.
