- Here are my personal highlights of the 40th Australian Model Expo which was held in Melbourne in June 2023. I don't show every model, I selected the ones which really impressed me the most.
I've broken it up into chapters so you can jump to the models which interest you the most:
00:32 - Aircraft
05:30 - Dioramas
09:41 - Military
11:10 - Vehicles
12:02 - Figures
13:09 - Sci-Fi and Fantasy
15:47 - Ships
(Apologies up front for the quality of my camera focus in some sections of this video. If I could go back again today and re-record it I would, but sadly the Expo is all over again for another year!)

The Figure of CAPTAIN MAINWARING won me. I would buy it in a heart-beat. Great work all round.
It's a kit by an outfit called Ybros Sculpts. if you Google "ybros sculpts captain mainwaring" you can see more details.
@@DavesModelWorkshop appreciate the info👍
Thanks for this and your light-hearted commentary.👍👍👍
I was there and missed much of what you filmed . I think the smell of fried food distracted me.🤣😂🤣. Agree about the lighting. Always raised by many.🌝
Ahhh, the lighting kills me every year. So blue, so dim!
Awesome ! Thanks 👌👌👌👌
Most welcome 😊
Been waiting for this David - great to see and thanks for sharing! Hopefully I can get there next year....cheers Chris
I specifically thought of you mate when I filmed the inflight models! ;) I'm glad you got to see it.
@@DavesModelWorkshop Thanks mate - hopefully I can provide a good display at the Qld show in August!
Awesome show !
So many great builds , WOW .
Full watch !
Japanese display is just great .
NYC Police car , so many favorites.
Mike.
Cheers Mike, I'm glad you liked it. It was inspiring to be there in person.
Thanks for posting David !
Cheers :)
Well done Dave.
Thanks Mark. I thought twice about uploading it when I saw how poorly my camera performed, but I figured it was better than no video at all.
Stunning works, all of them. Much enjoyed and appreciated. Thanks Dave. Take care
Cheers Val. Hope all is well there is SA.
Thanks for the peek. Some really wonderful and inspiring stuff there, would love to have been at the show.
It's inspiring to see it all in one place.
Great video, Dave! The Japanese aircraft display was fantastic. I don't think I've ever seen so many in one spot. The dioramas were stunning. Amazing creativity all around. Thanks for making this video!
Thanks Ken. I thought twice about uploading it when I saw how poorly my camera performed, but I figured it was better than no video at all.
Absolutely a lot of badass models, fantastic Dave 👍👍🤘✌️
Thanks mate.
@@DavesModelWorkshop - no problem mate, you're mighty welcomed!
Thanks Dave - it's always great to see the work on display at these shows. So many great models - very inspiring.
Cheers!
What a wonderful show great to see them happening again. Thanks Dave....KA
Thanks Kerry, hope you're keeping well.
The two helicopters are in order a Westland WS-61 "Sea King" (British Licenced Sikorsky S-61) And the Bell AH-1Z Viper or possibly the AH-1(4B) W which was the test version. These differ from the standard "Cobra" having 4 rotor blades, twin engines and the AH-1Z having an upgraded Target sight system (TSS) 😉
Thank you. My ignorance is removed! :) Cheers Bill
Wow!! How do you know that?
@@Mrlonely237 previous employment/experience with helicopters 😉
Superbe modelling there😊 thanks for sharing it !
Cheers :)
0:45 - Sea King Helicopter, one after it is a Huey Cobra.
Thank you. It's embarrassing that I had no idea ;)
@@DavesModelWorkshop That's Ok, you did say you were unfamiliar with anything after 1945, although I'm surprised you didn't recognise the Sea King from the Apollo space program.
good show nice walk over the model show keep them coming
Thanks, will do!
Very cool models and figures.
There was a lot of inspiring stuff there.
That's amazing
Great show Dave. I thought the bust of the woman with the skulls in her bonnet(?) next to Princess Leia was brilliant. I also like ships although I'm working up a hatred for a Revell Mayflower, vintage 1966 (yipes)! It has more flash than Gordon so I'm putting it down to rubbish 1620 trees, but I won't be defeated. Nice one again, all the best.
"More flash than Gordon" - I love it!
Thank you mate Dave's that was very nice video i am from Brisbane 💯🤟🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼👏🏼👍🏼👍🏼.
Glad you enjoyed it :)
great vid....thanks for posting.....many we dont see in canada
Thanks Troy. Yes, I feel lucky to live in a city that holds this show each year.
First expo in many years. Will be back next year. ✌️ x
It's always an inspiration :)
Nice report. Looking forward to a better camera next year!! :)
You and me both! :)
"Square" Roundels. 🤣🤣🤣
I couldn't think of a better way to describe them! :)
Thanks for the insight Dave, as you mentioned, the tables are looking bare. I'm surprised, I thought this was the biggest comp in Australia? Or is that another? Only 2 months to go for ours up here in QLD, QMHE.
Hi Grant, yes, apparently this is the biggest show in Aus. Apparently entries were huge last year, perhaps this year is a natural decline compared to that?
There were P-40s everywhere!
Apparently it was in response to "Happy 40th" for the 40th Expo. Happy 40 = P-40
@@DavesModelWorkshop have you made one? I'm looking to do one next in 1/48 with Aus markings, would like a recommendation for a good kit.
@@sentimentalbloke185 Sorry mate, I haven't. I've got a 1/32 one in the stash, but have not yet made it.
@@DavesModelWorkshop cheers, buddy
The corsair and divers was fantastic. Do you know the author? Thanks for the tour!
It's by a modeller named Wayne Kohlmann. It took out Best in Show and the People's Choice awards!
👍👍👍👍
Thank you!
@@DavesModelWorkshop no, thank you 😁👍👍
That railway dio is "straight", I.e. not done at an angle. I do mine like that. Judges, I suspect, Mark you down for that. You're right - it should be a deciding factor regarding imagination and storytelling for dioramas.
Thx.
Absolutely! Give me good storytelling any day over a "perfect" clean build.
Dang
I didn't even know we had such a thing in Victoria ... how do you find about about it?
I’ve been going to it annually for years, but they do have a website and a Facebook page if you google Australian Model Expo.
I think the main reason for your blurry photos is because a dirty lens. If you use your cellphone it is critical to wipe the lenses before taking photos like yours. All the fingering and talking on the phone makes the camera lens dirty from smudge and that has a huge effect on the light reflecting. Nice video. 👍🏻
I think you're spot on correct. It's a pity, if I could have gone back the next day I would have.
The police car diorama was built by a guy whos daytime job is a police officer
Ah, cool!
*promo sm* 💔
Yes you should apologise. Why bother with such a useless camera or phone or whatever you used?
When you start using your precious time to produce your own free content for other people, I'll start to take your advice Mark.
Dear me Mark and I thought you were going to complain about not getting 16minutes and 41seconds of your life back.
Silly me.
Perhaps next time you could turn off earlier.. or not even post.
Personally I thought the presentation, and editing, was quite good.
You see I enjoyed it.. and at my age time is precious.
But that’s just me…!!…👵🇦🇺🇺🇸
