G'day from Tasmania

[Darkhorse]

Just joined, hello from literally the bottom of the world!
I usually stick to 1/35 armor as mistakes (and I make lots!) can be covered up by mud, but will lash out on figures, ships and aircraft at times.
I'm retired and have been that way since I fell off a SKOT APC, before that was a doggie.
Been married for 33 years and share the house with two German Shepherd and a dotty Labrador and soon to be born Malinois.
I will try and put some pics, so y'all can see the mediocrity LOL....

Welcome Troy! This is a good place and those that post regularly have become a rather close knit group. We are always open to new folks and their builds.

I have just finished the Trumpeter BREM-1, a very nice kit, but the instructions on some places are very vague.
Started the Ryefields T-55 and ran into real difficulties with the running gear, I will have to find a donor lower hull, the top will be Ryefield as the mouldings are superb.....the hard part is asking the wife for the money.

Which end of the state are you looking at, houses are generally cheaper here, but we only have the one model shop and that is in Hobart! I usually go through BNA for paints and stuff

Welcome, And VERY nice High Veld Hunter!

This is a what if, a Bronco done out in RhAF colours, also have some South African ones too

 

[KLOTZEN]

Nice, I have the items set aside for a Rhodie Canberra and a Hunter of my own.

This is Merlin, he is one of my GSD's and my service dog, he helps me out with CPTSD when we go get groceries, he turned 3 yesterday (Tuesday here)

Yes I have the Canberra in 1/48 (Airfix) but am not sure whether to do it as South African or Rhodie, I have a DC 3 that I will do as Rhodesian and a Vampire as well. In the stash is a 1/48 Airfix Buccaneer, I'm too frightened to look at that one.....umming and ahhing about a armor diorama with a noddie and T-55

Great looking models and dog. Welcome!! Gary S.

I like the unusual state you have for your russian tanks in Ukraine, they seem to still be working and not wreck!

The running gear issue on the RFM kit means that, as a tank, it is dug into the Spring mud. You could cut off everything and start over. REAL plastic surgery but the wife won't raise her eyebrows! I've done that many times and now build models from scraps left over, as well as the original kit. Don't do as I do, as some projects are over a decade old since I REFUSE to pay the high prices for the newer and better kits.

The Rhody Mirage is a purty thang! I find a lasting fondness for the 'Awker 'Unter! Onya!
