ScaleACT 2018 Photo Gallery

I didn't enter any of my work this year, as these days I'm too busy on the Saturday to make in early enough in the morning to register, and the entire day is usually taken up with life maintenance tasks anyway. This year, I think I didn't even make it last year, I managed to make the Sunday morning on the show and had a good chance to browse the displays without having to deal with crowds of graying old men or young families with overly excitable children.
I went in with the intention of not buying anything, as I have more than enough toys to keep me occupied for several years at least. However, in the end I wandered into the swap and sell for the first time ever and spotted a couple of smaller kits for comparatively cheap, and after my last couple of attempts I realize that I could use some more practice before I start on some of my more expensive kits. So I spent a paltry thirty bucks and walked out with three old 1:72 scale kits, which'll give me a chance to to practice some of my scale model techniques. In future I'd like to have a crack at larger and more detailed kits, but my apartment demands that I be economical with space in order to live comfortably, so there is only so much I can do before I literally run out of space to put things.
That being said, the vendors usually put on a pretty good spread. You can easily pick up a kit of just about any tank or aircraft you desire, though generally I find that the prices aren't much better than my local hobby supply place. The real draw are some of the figure painter suppliers that have a decent selection from most of the major figure painting bust and figure suppliers. I must admit the quantity on display was significantly up from previous years, which is good to see. I also saw many, many more busts and figures on display, significantly moreso than previous years.

Anyway that'll do for now, enjoy the gallery.
