I haven’t posted any images of the finished and weathered J6 as I planned to enter it into the modelling competition at Guildex.
I was really pleased to take third place “Commended” from the judges but was even more pleased and surprised to get the “Runner Up” award from the “Public vote”.
The winner of the public vote was the same crane that took first in the rolling stock category, which meant, that in the eyes of the public who voted that the J6 was the best loco in the show.
I managed to grab a couple more shots out in the sunshine this morning. I am really pleased that this took third place in the Modelling competition. It was one of three cranes entered and one of them took first. The one that took first was an impressive scratch built beast with a professional paint job which really made it look superb. As soon as I saw it first thing in the morning I was sure that it would win.
I finally got around to finishing off the Crane and match trucks this week ready for taking them to Guildex to enter in the modelling competition. Nothing like a deadline to make you pull your finger out.
