a night to remember

A truly fantastic evening, thanks to everyone involved.
Glad to form part of the best club on the Island
Long live SSM.

Cyril.

The club is not just the name and premises, the club is alive because of all of us ... and yesterday was a proof of that, a day to remember!

Well done gentlemen, a 30 years legacy is no joke!

NOW LETS PREPARE TO SHOW THE GENERAL PUBLIC PROOF OF THIS ... prepare yourselves for our 30th Anniversary MODELLING SHOWCASE!

PROSIT!

Ivan

A great do indeed, it was fantastic to see everyone including a lot of old faces who we hadn't seen for some time and even new ones (I saw at least one). Well done to all. The guys who got the special awards truly merited them. A brilliant idea Aldo, it made the evening more memorable.

Forgot to thank all the guys with the cameras who are going to immortalize this event. Great show and thanks!!

Now in 10/20 years time we will look back at yesterdays photos and say ''what a long time ago that was! when i use to have a full head of hair''

If I can still see by then that is!!

I agree with all of you... it was a fantastic event. New guys like me generally feel a bit akward at such events, but i'm glad to say that with such a warm welcome I felt right at home.

Thanks again to all of you!

Hopefully I will be able to share some of my work with you guys soon

I am proud and honoured that I am part of the SSM. This is what I call Band of Brothers!


VIVA SSM

I see you used the avatar Wayne, you chose Marco's favourite, great choice!

I am proud of you all SSM brothers , although at the moment or time call it what you like , I don't build models ..I'm still proud to see your masterwork being done in such a devoting way..it gives me satisfaction for all these years, that I have been knowing you and shareing all the interes of this magnificent hobby.. good luck guys for your futur builds ..and God bless SSM brothers..

Bty Wayne you made a very good choice for the avatar...

Thank you so much my friends, you are second family to me.

Wayne it was nice meeting you for the first time, please try to come on Wednesday evenings, even if it's just for an hour. And don't you ever ever feel offended if we criticize your models, that's how we sharpen our skills and improve our modelling. I learned a lot from these people in these last ten years and I haven't even scratched the surface yet compared to what they do and know.

Thank you all for a memorable night!

It makes old guys like me proud to have dedicated a few years of our younger days to launching an idea which has grown to become an icon of serious modelling in our country where mediocrity is still accepted.

Thank you Alex and Tancred for being there with the cameras, and Tancred's witty humour is better than ever (I liked the tongue/young one best)!

Thank you Oliver, Ray and of course Joseph for making sure the food is abundant. Thank you Ivan for translating your great artistic skills into the graphics we enjoy.

Welcome new (old) members - we are glad to have you back after an absence of so many years...

...and again, thank you all because you are SSM.
