16th Annual Super Model Car Sunday Perth Western Australia 13th July

[alan barton]

Hi everyone,

Just getting in early to let you know about our show. Last year we had a grand total of 1, 123 model cars trucks and bikes displayed inside and outside the West Coast Street Rod Clubrooms. We had a record number of rookies last year with a build quality that left us breathless! Put Sunday 13th of July in your diary!

This year's themes are as follows

Cacklefest - The Long and Short of it!
We want you to bring along all your 1/24 or 1/25th scale Top Fuel dragsters. Front or rear engine, it doesn’t matter because we are going to arrange them chronologically on a six metre dragstrip diorama so that we can see how the length of these ultimate race machines has increased over the last sixty or so years.

Engines.
Yep, just what it says. Instead of building a model with an engine in it, build the engine as the model! Absolutely everyone can participate in this one because it doesn’t matter whether you are into cars, trucks or bikes, they all have engines. Scale doesn’t matter either – anything from 1/43 to 1/6 will fill the bill. This is a great opportunity to show off your detailing skills. Make sure you display it on an appropriate engine stand to complete the effect.

Starting with V!
Yep, Viper, Volkswagen, Vauxhall, Valiant, Volvo, Virago, Vincent, Vespa, Velocette, Victoria, Vega, Vette (yeah, that’s cheating I know) I’m sure there’s more. Need more – just Google it! Any scale, any style, as long as it starts with V!

Flight of the Mustangs
Some Mustangs might have flown in the sky but the ones we’re talking about are the wheeled variety that will be celebrating their fiftieth anniversary this year – a pretty good excuse for a party, don’t you think? I know plenty of you have your only little herd of horsies so bring them along and we will put them in a corral all of their own! Our five metre long street scene diorama will be waiting for a 1/25scale Mustang Nationals to populate it.

Start looking now for cheap flights! We'd love to have modellers from all over Australia and hey, all over the world, to come across to our special part of the planet. The show is only twenty minutes from the airport and we can organise a shuttle and accomodation so it will be a cheap weekend. Its a full weekend with Saturday open for set-up and socialising (strictly entrants only) plus the legendary Give 'N' Take box, a great goodie bag, and a free choice from the Wall of Kits after the presentation. Come and join in Australia's biggest model car party - you know you've been talking about it - make this year THE year! PM me for entry forms and details.

Cheers
Alan
