Gooday to you all - Another one from South Africa!

Posted by Panzerjaeger on Saturday, May 27, 2006 3:24 PM

Hi Everyone

I just thought I would intro myself to this wonderful forum. My name is Arthur and I live in Johannesburg, South Africa. I mostly build figures in my preffferred scale of 120mm resin/white metal but do from time to time build the odd plane and armour piece. I am currently busy with German WWII Fallschirmjager and will post some pics as soon as I am done. Once again, it's great to be on board!

Till Later

Arthur

Work, work, work! You gotta put models on the table somehow!

Welcome to the forums. You'll have great fun here. Lots of good quality information and tips, and tricks. What kinds of model shops are available in your part of the world? Just curious Question [?]

Happy modeling.

Hi Neil

we have pretty decent ones around here where I live (Johannesburg) Pretty much everything is available from new kits to model supplies etc. There is only one problem and that is that figure building in 120mm is not so popular here so the availability of decent resin or white metal kits is very limited. I usually end up shopping on line at Squadron, Red Lancers etc. Postage and shipping is hell expensive from the USA or europe and ends up costing you about the same price the kit did! But I suppose it's a passion and everything has it's price.

Thanks for the welcome!

chat soon
