G'day folks
Posted by Gunnie on Friday, December 15, 2023 6:51 PM

Hi all,  have recent joined this forum as I'm about to return to scale modelling in a big way after way too many years away from it. 

I started building kits 48+yrs ago as a kid. Then after joining the military I gave up on it due to moves, space, marriage,  family etc. All the usual detractors! But now that I'm retired and we'll settled.

Over the past 40yrs I've amassed a sizeable collection of kits & it's long past due that I did something about that eh!

My first major project is a diorama depicting my EOD team, Callsign Wallaby 2, & our Bushmaster PMV. I've managed to get the 1/35 PMV kits, several Meng EOD operator kits, Talon RPV & upgrades for the vehicle.

Now I'm just waiting on my youngest & his partner to move out of the cottage into their new home. Once they're out I can set up my hobby space again.

Looking forward to interaction with you all as I'll be asking for advice along the way. 

Wishing you all a safe, happy Xmas  & NY'ers.

Hi folks,

Thanks for the welcome folks.

Jim, you're right there,  there is no dumb question!  I've always told my subordinates that the only dumb question is the question never asked.
