According to our unofficial sources, not only was this creation voted a class winnner, but it was also a very close contender to Best in Show award, loosing only "on points" to one (also scratch-built) model. |
Modelling world's interest for Alien movie subjects is going as strong as ever. Bengt Wahlstedt took the 1st prize in the film and fantasy figure class against a tough competition. |
In the small scale diorama class, this story-telling scene of Apollo 11 Recovery won the judges' hearts and minds. Diorama built by Barry Davidoff.

And yes, the train was moving... |
Why the judges liked the superb paint job on this
Highlander Clansman is self-explanatory. Magnus Fagerberg took the 1st prize among figures
larger than 72 mm.
Mike Blank's reputation as a world-class figure
modeller is going strong. His entry in the small scale figure class (40-72 mm) brought him
the 1st prize. Regrettably we don't have a photo of the winning object, but this is Mike's
other entry in the same category, Knight of Outremer, which placed second!
In the bust class, Magnus Fagerberg excelled (again)
with his Crow Leader.
Scratch-built figure class is where modelling comes
closest to being an art form. Mike Blank sculpted this maginificent figure of horse-riding
Waldemar Magnusson himself.
Some of the large scale-dioramas tend to be huge in
size, and so even this years' winner. Rickard Pamenius entitled this amusing object
"Hades Mining Co.". Definitely different!n
