Some more details from yesterday's mega-meet:
In attendance were Kerry from Brisbane; Martin, Sue Ann, Ross, Ben and Paul
from Melbourne, and locals Richard, Pete, James, Kev, Andrea, Eli and
myself. The meeting room at the Mittagong RSL was very good: large, well
lit, plenty of tables and ample refreshment close to hand (unless you asked
for the kid's meal cheeseburger).
MOC highlights included the HES Indescribable just out of Port Block Yards,
Fort Kurst of Andrastavia, Thunderbird 1 by James and ROSCO's mammoth crane.
Several of us contributed troops to Kev's Andrastavian battlefield -- can't
wait for the next chapter! Ben brought his staggering collection of
catalogues, promotional leaflets and the like, and the most heinous assembly
of Johnny Thunder figs I've ever seen. They dominated the Welshishish
battlefield, although I suspect that one less tactical nuke and a bit more
Bruce Willis could have turned the tide.
We enjoyed a good deal of trading, clone vs LEGO discussion, and the
prospect of doing it all again in about six months. Thanks to everyone,
particularly the various hosts and lift-givers and the interstate folks for
making the trip.
