Hello from South Australi***
Posted by Astrospud on Friday, November 11, 2011 5:48 PM
Hi Folks, It's been well over a decade since I last put a plane together, and now I've got the bug again! I'm 40 years of age, married and no kids (2 cats and 2 dogs though :)). My subjects of choice are helo's and modern jets, with some RL space and scifi as well. On the bench at the moment is a Revell 1/32 EC-145 ADAC/Securite Civile, Revell 1/96 Saturn V rocket (40th Ann moon landings) and lastly a Trumpeter 1/32 F/A-18E Rhino. This last one is my focus, though, as I bought up big time on Eduard PE mods. It's the first time I've used PE parts and look forward to the challenge. Other models include Italieri 1/48 Ka-50 Hokum, and an old MPC Star Wars "Millenium Falcon" - and I mean OLD! :D I originally posted Here: /forums/t/142549.aspx but realised days later there is an intro channel. As Rick Perry would say..."oops!"

Welcome aboard. I am sure you will learn plentry as well have lots to add to the forums. PE can be frustrating, and sometimes over used (Guilty as charged) but i love the stuff and it can make a big difference.

I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so

Welcome Sign  As Rube Goldberg said, “Keep it simple, stupid.”

Occasional factual, grammatical, or spelling variations are inherent to this thesis and should not be considered as defects, as they enhance the individuality and character of this document.

Well it seems that I don't fit the Goldberg rule with the Super Hornet!

As Peter Brock said, "Bite off more than you can chew, then chew like hell!"

As for why Australia is a rude word...dunno, but we Aussies know a few ;)

Welcome Astrospud,

From a fellow South Australian (there I said it) this is the best modelling forum on the net. Everyone is real friendly and are allways willing to help.

Cheers Leo
