the handiwork of Fred Clarke who took up model making when he retired 'to fill the time'. he's made about 50 models from scrap wood and old plumbing bits and seems to have had a VW phase. article about him here https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cn8re4dg1v0o?a...VkF92OgBIA

Another Southlandz Model car Swap Meet and Contest has come and gone. This year there were more than 320 models
entered in 40 categories! Competition was extremely tough, but I managed to win four awards (one 2nd and three 3rds).
Some of my entries included:
Taxi Herbie

The Bubble Bus

Bugaboo and Bug Out

IMC gasser

and the Revell California Bug I built 50 years ago!

I didn't expect the California Bug to win anything, but it's not many builders who keep their models for so long, plus the
three-tone fade paint job was pretty bold for a kid!

Next year's special classes witll include VW and Porsche.

Nice entries! I'm guessing the Bubble Bus and Pyro Fire Car were winners given the stickers seen on the entry cards. Which other models won awards?

The stickers were just to indicate special classes.

Yes, those were two special class winners, along with Bugaboo (2nd) in Nostalgic Dragster.
