Well, we might be repeating ourselves here, but we again need to offer a very sincere THANK YOU to everyone who helped make ScaleACT-26 our biggest and best show to date! 227 entrants contributed to our biggest ever competition with 841 entries on the tables!
The organisers are exhausted, but really happy because running ScaleACT is actually heaps of fun! We get to put on a big show to celebrate the hobby we all love - and you, our mates, keep coming back! It's a great big plastic party :-) The show won't happen without you - so again - thanks everyone!
Highlight images are presented below, and our wonderful competition management system (hobbyshow.org) also provides a Results page which lists all award winners and photos (if available). See it here.
If you are just after a quick list of all place getters - here's a PDF listing!
AND if you can't get enough ScaleACT, here are a collection of videos from our amazing AV team headed by chief geek, Peter Shum!
