GOMBs Model Show coming up this Saturday at the Chapelhow Legion (284-606 38 Ave NE). It runs from about 9-4 with a $2 entry. Come on out to see some cool builds.
This is my latest, and it's a do-over - I tried to encase the wreck of the Bismarck in resin a few years back and wasn't happy with it. So I tried it again with a larger kit and it went *slightly* better than before. Resin is a difficult medium and this one has fewer bubbles but the details of the ship are obscured. Nothing ventured nothing gained, I guess.
Spoiler!

Ghost Ship of the Northumberland Strait took the "Bent, Battered and Broken" award. I told the organizers that they'll need to add "Burning" to that description for future contests.
...and I got a steal of a deal on this kit. It's not that monstrous HMS Surprise kit I put in the Cool Video thread, but this one's gonna be a fun and rewarding build:

A good day all around - lots of great models and a greasy Legion lunch.

When I was boxing up at show's end a lady (about 70 years old) came up to me and said when she saw it her first thought was "this guy must be on some GREAT drugs to come up with that idea".
