Hi from Auckland, New Zealand

Posted by LDSModeller on Friday, April 9, 2010 5:39 AM

Big Hi from down under in the Antipodies Cool

Have been building models a good part of my life, found this forum

and thought it a good place to join.

Build mainly aircraft models, have few on the bench in various

state of progress.

1/32 Brewster Buffalo Conversion from F2A-2 (Special hobby) in markings

of 488 Squadron Singapore 1941

1/72 scale Short Sunderland in 270 Squadron markings West Africa 1944

(and I have't used any PE either in interior either)

1/32 Scale RNZAF Grumman Avenger TBF 1-c

(Sorry haven't pictures ready to post)

Hope to post more soon

Regards

Alan

LDSModeler,

Welcome mate! Welcome Sign

I worked with two fellows from Auckland on a ski hill in Alberta Canada. Fortress Mountain 89-90 season. Actually Miles and Darrel were flat mates of mine. (shared condo housing) Cool people. Cool

I still remember waking up from a night shift making snow to see the two at the door, decked out in all new Sorel gear. 'G' day, we are you new roomies' I rolled my eyes and went back to bed. Confused

I see you are a fellow scratch builder! Excellent work on the bulkheads and extra details BTW~
