Okay, here’s my recollection of events.
Bugs meeting number two-pi-over-three (or whatever) - Sunday August 3 2003
This time the meet was at Kerry’s, and she had unilaterally declared the theme
to be ‘Ekka’, a very timely idea, as well as organising prizes (yay!) from
Ozbricks. Kudos to both Kerry and the Ozbricks team for that.
Attending was (from memory, get Aaron to add you to the list if I’ve forgotten
you) Kerry, Michael, Gary & Callum, Aaron, Tara, Ken, Allister & Junior, Jeremy,
and, and... I know there was more of you, but the names elude me - my mind is
overrun with mathematical formulae :)
Kerry had the bigger Star Wars ships and the Darth Maul Bust on display, and we
all discussed the value and general coolness of such sets, as well as the
well-documented fragility of the Stott-Despoja. Ain’t it the truth?
MOCs at the meet were:
*My Ekka Clown Heads, the caravel La Empresa and a small model that arrived as
a spaceship, but became a submarine by popular acclamation;
- facades - The Breakfast Creek Hotel being latest in the lineup;
- Grain Silo, with working ‘pour-out-into-the-hoppers’ action;
- fire engines (mass shock!);
- ludicrous number of Space creations - including mecha, transformers, Spiffcraft and Pre-Classic Space Era vehicles;
- and, (memory shorts out again) there were more Ekka related ones, stalls, ferris wheels etc, but I don’t remember who’s they were. There was also a train layout, which may have featured things which i missed because trains is really boring :)
After much admiration of models was done, voting for the prize-giving was
underway. In a campaign marred by violence and intimidation, my clown heads won
the ‘Ekka-themed MOC’ competition. Yayyyyyy :)
From memory, the Quinlan household cleaned up most of the rest of the prize
draw...
Then it was down to the ritual S@H ordering. I wasn’t much in this, but there
was certainly much splurging (isn’t there always?)
Looking forward to the next, as always. I wonder if we could all fit in my
two-bedroom unit... :)
Michael
