i had to shift my tent to behind the static model tent. the wind blew the r/c display gazebo down narrowly missing robs volvo so we thought best to relocate. i actually was'nt that drunk on sunday night still had a bit though. you will have to bring your models next year and camp its great fun.

Thanks for the photos, some great looking models new to me! Like some of the real ones too, particularly the Colton plant hire, great fade job on that :D
