Custom Build Winner of Mac Aus Con 09, thanks for all who voted for my custom. I'll post up some more details when I have time.

WOW!!!! What a day, we all had a ball...what more can I say. It was great meeting up with the Aussie forum members, making new friends and showing off our displays. Have to say the displays where awesome, a really great effort put in by all attending. And yes those who couldn't make it you missed a great friendly event but it has layed the ground work for future Aus Cons. I'd like to say a big thank you to everyone who voted my VF-1S+ EMU "Best Custom Build" and thank you HLJ for the awesome prize " Bandai 1/72 VF-25F Supermassiah" with B-Club hand set and 10% discount voucher. Also BIG congrats for PeterB winning "Best Custom Paint" for his VF-2SS custom (Please correct me if I'm wrong...lack of sleep...lol) winning the 1/72 VF-25S Supermassiah again with B-Club hand set and 10% discount voucher. Congrats to Cowie165 for his effort with I beleave secound in custom paint (again correct me if I've got it wrong...lol) Sceam Man for his effort in the Transforming comp, I think this provided more laughs than anything all day. Just managing to beat Sream Man but it was ever so close, really these guys where so even it was really hard to tell who was quicker....lol. Big thanks to Overdrive for the Yamato 1/60 VF-1D that was the prize. I beleave Matt won "Best Custom Toy" winning GNU YF-19 and 21...........awesome effort.

Now a Huge THANK YOU to Matt who has put in a lot of effort and funds to make this day happen and to say it has been a pleasure to be working with him on the con board. Thanks to Chriss for the picture he awarded me what an artist...thank man. Thanks to Sonic for doing our con posters and our con Momento Picture and of course polidread who supplied our Valk Girl who we used in the momento pictures.....I'll be sending polidread and Sonic there pictures shortly, thanks guys. A Really BIG BIG THANK YOU to our sponsors who put in a massive effort to bring our con to life, with out these guys support it wouldn't have been possible to do the con with the awesomeness we achived...so thank you Kirin Hobby for your massive effort, HLJ whos sent awesome prizes for us modelers, Overdrive who has been with us from the beginning with a massive effort, Sonic for his designs, Mecha Studios Australia for momento pictures, Studio Starforge for the resin figures, I'm sure I left somebody out.....lol, but thank you so much for being our sponsors.

Well only a couple of days out...rushing now to finish my main custom for the con, been a massive project to do to get it ready....... Are we all getting excited now or what!.....lol See all us modelers are keeping our models at "Top Secret" status which will make they day a lot more fun. Saw your cammo scheme on that Commanchero PeterB nice work looking awesome, hope it's making it's way to the con. And I'm very curious about your custom cowie, looking forward to seeing what you have done. We'll I'll be getting everything ready today and Friday to bring up, all my gear the prizes and give-aways so going to be a busy couple of days. Looking forward to seeing you all at the con!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks guys for your posts and showing your support. I haven't heard from Matt today as he is having dramma's with his internet but I'm sure he'll be delighted with the responce of support and as a board member myself I would like to say thanks also.

Well one week out from the con and us guys on the board and the attendees who have paid are very disapointed in the turn out for this even. Matt has spent a lot of time and effort to bring this con to us, I have while Matts at work spent 24/7 emailing people putting up posters organising and planning as well as trying to build customs and get kits finished for others to show at the convention. Not to leave Shazam out who has also put in a lot of hours. We have been given great prizes and give aways for everybody which took a lot of time and effort on or sponsors behalf. This has been planned for over six months and still we are sitting on 10 people who are comming WTF, we even have some US members offering to prop up the con to help with the overheads that we could be left with and all because a lot of you Aussie fans are really quite p!ss poor. Fair enough that some members had to pull out due to loss of work, newborns and that's cool life comes first, but I beleave there is a lot more of you out there that just can't be bothered or think you may not fit in as maybe your not quite as full on a fan as some, but thats a pretty lame reason. Out of 22 seats to book out they should have all been filled months ago and yet we have 12 seats still to fill, not good IMO. This year will be the only 12 hour movie marathon so you will be missing a great 12 hours of Macross, Revoltechs give aways, momentoes, piss and more and this is all for $107.00 which is not that much when you consider what it costs to hire a theater. At this point I'd like to say thank you to all who are attending as some of you are comming from interstate, like PeterB and Sonic all the way from SA only 8 days from returning from his honeymoon (Big Congrats to Sonic and we hope he has a life time of Happiness). So it seems to put quite a few fans to shame. The con will go on with or with out the support of Aussie fans, and the fact that or US buddies are willing to help shows how slack you's (you know who you are) really are. So BIG BIG thanks to MacrossMan for his offer it is very generous and sadly due to the lack of Aussie support it may be needed. So come on Australia pull your head out you a$$ and get your self a seat an show your support for the effort that has been put in......as it's all for you the Fans........we can't do any more now it's all you!
