**Well, as promised I've uploaded the pictures to a "gallery" called focus modelling weekend.These were all taken during a quiet moment or two when I was able to break free for a minute or two - There will be more to come when other members email their photographs to me.

There here is one image attached below, all the others can be seen here (I hope I got the right link!!)

Seems like a good time was had by all, it would be nice if someone over here could organise the same type of event.

Time - and lack of a suitable venue, Oh - and the day job

*** Twice a year is the current plan, with a variety of limited attendance hands on "schools" in between (each school over 3 weeks, in the evenings, 2.5~3 hours per night). We do quite a few ad hoc 2 hour sessions (airbrushing, soldering etc) on weekends for focus members and any modelling friends too.

Hi
It really was a good w/end with lots of good quality workshops held throughout the day. I have booked myself into 2 and I am considering a 3rd.

It was great to see the spirit down there, everyone put in and gave their best. In the focus group their is a father and son who attend all the time. I hope someday that I will have that bond with my kids and they will consider it cool to hand with their old man.

I think the second one Richard runs will be very big as word of mouth will insure this.

All in all one of the best w/ends I have had in a long time.

Thank Richard and Focus for a great w/end

Which workshops are you going to do Martin? I already contacted Richard about the trackwork one but which others will be offered soon do you think? I need to pack some in before I chuff off over to Melbourne!

Hi

Same as you point construction and spray painting.... got to get some use out of that spray booth I got from Richard. Nice bit of kit.

If I had a choice it would have to be point construction no doubt about that. I will talk to Richard tomorrow about it in the afternoon. I think the sooner the better...hint hint.

I may have some problems soon as I am going to Boddington Gold, finished at the refinery next week.
