Ah, yeah, gidday from New Zealand

[Kitchen Modeller]

Dipping my gumboots back into the forums water as I’m finding myself an ever growing refugee from the bot infested multi level marketing rage bait factory that is Fecebook.
I also sort of stumbled in here by happy accident after asking Paddy about a kit he was selling (sold) on MFH Builds. I was only about a year late…. or about a day in New Zealand time. I’ve been lurking for a few weeks now and I do like the vibe here, so thought I’d say hello, because Paddy asked a question I wanted to answer , so it would be rude not to introduce myself.
Cheers,
Terry

Welcome Terry!

Welcome Terry! Yes this is a really good group and all you need to do to join in is post and be a good mate. Paddy does phenomenal builds, and there is quite a diverse group here, but many of us have become friends even across the big ponds. If you want to meet some of us and chat we will be having a google meeting Saturday morning, 9am East Coast USA time or starting about midnight, 1 am your time. There is a thread GOOGLE MEET that has the link.
As to Farcebook, yeah it is a bit of a pain in the can, but then again not a lot of folks are all that computer savvy and that is their only outlet. We do try to be helpful and constructive with our critiques on each other here. Mostly it is just pointing out the things we should have noticed on our own and missed because we are nose in on the build.

Hi Bob, Happy to show some of my builds. If it floats, flies or drives I'll build it. Just to ID what I've put up there's a pair of MFH 1/20 Ferrari, the remaining cars all 1/43. A 1/48 Airfix Spitfire Mk.Vb, 1/32 HK Mossie (Oboe), 1/32 Trumpeter Bf109G-2 and F-14D.

What a nice line up! Well done sir. Whatcha working on now?

 

[Kitchen Modeller]

Thanks. Working on two MFH kits currently. A 1/43 Porsche 917K which will be a curbside once complete, and a 1/12 Ferrari 412P. With the 412P I hit the MFH trifecta jackpot in having not one single unwarped body part except the doors and I not sure about them either! Pictures of 412P are just a lose fit to check ride height. All four tyres touch the bench, so I got that much right.

Overall your builds look really nice Terry! Keep them coming!

Hi Terry
I think you will fit right in here, we are a small band of people from all over the world who wanted to show our work and chat models, ask questions and have a laugh but couldn't find these options on offer on most forums or face book . Love your wide range of topics and the extra mile you go with presentation, The mossie flying over scale cliffs is a brilliant idea, not seen that done before ...I will try an MFH car with a roof one day but at the moment the vac form glass is an obstacle for me as i know glass in a car needs to be perfect or it looks awful, bit like a real car. clean the wheels and polish the glass , you are 75% there
should be able report back on the tubing soon
