I'd like to thank everybody who came out and supported the fourth
edition of BC RPM last weekend. The modelling was as good as ever and
the turnout was higher than in past years - we even had our first
American participant which was nice. This was the first year to
include a show & tell session during the lunch hour and it seemed to
elicit a positive response so there's a good chance we'll include it
in next year's program. Thanks also to everyone who brought supporting
documentation. Although probably the result of a well attended
national earlier in the year, the build sequences captured on camera
were almost as interesting as the models themselves. I would encourage
this practice for future meets. If you have any comments or questions
please feel free to ask at ahutchinson.mudbay at gmail dot com. Below
is a link to some of my images from the weekend. It is worth
mentioning that I forgot my tripod Saturday morning and the resulting
images were little short of disastrous. For that I apologise to the
participants. Hopefully for next year's meet we'll be able to arrange
for a proper photographer to capture the models in all their glory. In
the interim mine will have to do. Included in the set are a series of
images taken Sunday morning from the show floor focusing on the PGE
BCR modellers table, a few of the contest table and Brian Pate's
beautiful marine setting of Point Ellis, B.C.
