I have had requests regarding my web " sites " . There are numerous sections , that may interest someone out there, covering my adventures in Music, Theatre, Travels, Prototype Railroads, Modellers. Over 20,000 photos stored on a dedicated server & advert free.... . http://www.modvid.com.au/html/body_worldwide__miniatures.html . This year ( 2017 ) I decided to create a new section to give the web page a fresh look. . http://www.modvid.com.au/html/body_miniatures_2017.html . PLEASE refer to the side bar for ALL listings..... WARNING...... You could end up spending days here.............. . My humble offerings.. http://www.modvid.com.au/html/body_mario_miniatures.html . cheers all and remember............." Stay motivated in Life "
Topic of Contests. I have had many a discussion with Russ Reinburg, over the years regarding contests. Conclusion ???.... there was non... Had the same very enjoyable chat with Lane Stewart at the Denver convention. Man he can talk . In Australia we introduced " Show & Tell " displays and over time many modellers showcased their work, regardless of scale, level of skill or incomplete. Discussion, tips were encouraged, especially for the "newbies' ( which we all were, once upon a time )............ Denver contest room would have had to be the smallest I have witnessed either in the USA or Australia... Pity is was so overcrowd at times....I was invited for an after hours entry to take photos, but just stuck at Dinner with a few mates..... Please note... All my comments are meant to be positive . ( food for thought ) The Denver committee did an excellent job overall...........
Mario, I have frequently visited and admired your site ever since I discovered it several years ago so it was a real privilege and pleasure to finally meet you at the NNGC 2017 in Denver. Disturbed your picture-taking in the very crowded contest room, no less.
Sounds like your site expansion and updates will add much more viewing pleasure and I look forward to perusing the new material when I finally get back home later this month!

I look here and at your website often for all the exceptional modeling that is done, I know this takes a lot of time and is Very Much Appreciated ! By the way the dvd is inspirational and a pleasure to view ! Latin dancing what fun! Jim
Mario, it was great to say hello and shake your hand in Denver. A fun convention and I hope to spend more time with you the next time we are at the same show. I've always enjoyed your work, and the great contribution you have made to this hobby by making so many photos of the world's best models available to all of us.
I would be interested in what you guys do in your spare time.
After being out of the Theatre scene for a few years, a new production is being staged in 2018.
