I used to own one and you have goaded me. Had a lot of fun, but that Lucas fuel pump was a bloody nightmare.Unfortunately not mine. Just a random Internet pic I thought to goad you with
Lucas fuel pump? You had an electrical pump? Mine is mecanical, driven of the cam shaft. In 18 years, I replaced twice.
As a retailer, I can say that the whole premise of the IPMS is geared towards commercial modelling. You are at the beginning of a new generation of model designers and producers. It will take some time, still, for people to understand this incredible work you are doing, but it will happen.

Hello everyone,
I went to another model show yesterday and the results compared to the Toronto show were quite different. The general reception on both the bentley and the hydra was pretty much the same. Very good reviews from the public. But this time, the judges also liked them.
I have to say that I sorta shot myself in the foot by putting both cars in the same category which was the large scale. I was basically competing against myself but I really wanted both models next to each other for easier explanations. I also have to say that weren't many entries in this category but they were still very nice.
So the hydra won 1st place and the bentley 2nd. The bentley also won best engine and public's choice.
I also brought my 1/8 wooden kayak that won 2nd in the scratch-built section.
I'll be trying another meet in novembre and this show should be a good test for the Hydra since the theme this year is "movie vehicles". That's pretty much in the Hydra's alley!

Bravo, Francois! Well-earned!
It's always exciting to exhibit your model in a competition. Now you've finally received the honor you've long deserved, François. Here at SoS, you've had it for much longer.

Excellent, glad to hear this!
Wonderful! About time someone starts noticing the skill involved here.
