thats a nice model but i think there was far better on display than that. the one with teh guy waith ax and the big skill at his feet imo was Outstanding

 

[Chris S]

Spud ,myself and a lot of other people would agree with you . But the competition was very tight and I suppose it came down to the judges preference :

Great links Chris Thank you.
As for best of show I must agree Spud.
Cheers

pft judges what do hey know, it should be put to vote for all attending

 

[Chris S]

Spud, you're absolutely right mate ..it should be a vote . In fact a similar situation arose in a show in England a few months back .Judges were allowed to enter the comp and Judges took the golds ....work that out The biggest problem with having judges is they are usually more biased toward their own interest ..its only human ,but Like you I'd rather have comps judged by a vote .....Just my opinion. :

Chris.

 

[spud]

Ya I've noticed that its always that style of figure that will win it. Them judges that entered defo rigged it cheeky sods
