Hi from Quinny - Brisbane, Australia.
Hi everyone, my name is Quinny and I've just got back into scale modeling after ... Oh, I don't know maybe 45 years 
I built many models as a kid - really enjoyed it, then life takes over - you know the story 
.
So what brings me here ? Well, I'm on the wrong side of 50 & looking to slow down a little and get to some things that I'd like to do. The missus & I have downsized the house after the kids have moved out & started thier own families - we've got a no-rush renovation going with the new place, and part of that will be my new workshop & barbeque / brewing, area - looking forward to that ... 
Some of my other obsessions - errr sorry, hobbies include BBQ, making seriously good craft beer 
, gardening & when the new shed is built, I've got two old motorcyles that need some lovin. A 1989 RGV & a '78 Z650.
I used to enjoy some fly fishing when I lived down south, but it's bit warm up here in Queensland for trout.
Blah, Blah - why are you here Quinny ? 
Earlier this year, the family & I visited the Aviation Museum in Evans Head (Northern NSW Aus.) They have on display a F-111C - the Australian variant in camo colour. What a beautiful aircraft. As a little kid, I remember them flying over our house at night at about 200 feet doing 500 knots, probably flying on terain radar, heading back to Amberly Airforce Base - just awesome.
On sale in the foyer, was the F-111C Hobby Boss 1:48 scale model kit - the family decided I needed to build it - so that's why we're here 
Let me have a bit of a kick around here & try to figure out how to post some photos.
Cheers,
Q
