Hi,
I'm back to the hobbie after 19 year break. Was a keen modeller until I discovered cars girls and alcohol at 18. I got interested again after I saw the Abrams tanks roaming across the desert on my TV screen last year.
Main interest is AFVs. I'm especially interested in late WW2 vehicles from Normandy onwards.
I've just finished my first model - a Tamiya "frontline breakthrough" Sherman. Which I built while communting between Melbourne and Sydney for work. I was so desparate to finish it I masked off the bathroom in my hotel with newspapaer and sprayed it with Tamiya model paints

. It doesn't look too bad as a starter.
At the moment I'm working on a Tiger 1 "late". It has Zimmerit which I wish I'd never added but have almost finished. Then there are about 19 other AFV kits that I just "had to have" - not to mention a lone Haseqawa P-38 Lightning that I was given as a present (my favourite aircraft) - waiting to be built.
At the moment I'm really just trying to build from the box (except for the Zimmerit!) while I re-acquaint myself with model building before I get more ambitious.
Cheers,
Darren
