  1. Agreed; David Bowie is an absolute legend; his influence can be heard in many bands; like the vocals in this one:
  2. I love Nick Drake, lovely photograph šŸ˜Š šŸÆ
  3. Good to hear from you Rog šŸ˜Š Hoping that you are not still in lockdown šŸ¦  One of my stepsons is at MIT; suffered the vast lockdown last year, brief reprise in this tiny island of relative safety, known as ACT; then went back to Vic; into lockdowns šŸ˜” Stay safe, you and yours; I hope that you can get some modelling done to pass away the indoor hours. Long recovery for me, so model building and music will be the therapeutic measures employed; once discharged from this fine Hospital. All the best Remember; wear a flask šŸ‘ TonyT
  4. Hi! I am also in Canberra. Northside in my case. Welcome on board! This is a great community, lots of fun and a better group of people; you will struggle to find. I used to be on here a lot more, but my health took a dive. Hoping to be here more soon. Currently in The Canberra Hospital. My poor health means I have never been able to meet up with e.g. @Romeo Alpha Yankee, however, hospital visitors are currently very welcome, hint hint šŸ˜ƒ šŸ˜‰ šŸ˜‰ šŸ‘ Looking forward to seeing your builds. As soon as I am home; I will be starting a build. Possibly a Gulf War Tornado. All the best TonyT
  5. Had no idea that there was a 1/24 kit of the Alpine. It looks fantastic. Great start with primer and colour. Watching with enthusiasm, Rally number plates? Good luck with the build Anthony
  6. Yes šŸ‘ Count me in with a Seversky SEV-3 in Spanish Civil War colours. Its a resin kit in 1/72 by Kora Models. Hope we get to do this šŸ‘ Anthony
  7. Looking good Adrian. The Magna kits have a lot of resin, heavy, but interesting subjects. Im searching my memory for the correct name; but it also reminds me of a Polish Pre war prototype. in fact, one that may have flown right at the start of the war. PZL P-50 Jastrzeb maybe. Have a vac form of that by Broplan stuck with a friend in the UKā€¦ One day šŸ˜‰ Keep up the good work Adrian; I see sanding sticks in your futureā€¦
  8. Thank you for the kind welcome back Adrianā€¦. Its a long story but all going ok for now. Your Letov looks great with the paint and decals on. Such a big span on these birds. I hunted out the ā€˜AB Modelā€™ kit today, then went to look at his website. Lovely models. Plus he has restored real railway wagons; is clearly a real artisan. Well worth a look for the variety of Letov variants and an incredible looking Farman Goliath. The end is in sight with this one Adrian. Really nice work Best regards Anthony
  9. Looking forward to this šŸ˜€ This is a kit that I have wanted for some time; as you say, there was an HMS Ajax version. My grandfather was on Ajax at some point, Iā€™m told: Really want that boxing. However, seeing it made by anyone will be a treat. Good luck with the build šŸ‘ Anthony
  10. Hello J-W Thank you; itā€™s good to be back The NA50 looks superb; I never knew that it existed. It will look great in Peruvian colours. Iā€™m not sure, but maybe the Peruvians used the Curtiss P-36 too? The NA 50 really looks like the Boomerang from this end of the globe. Canā€™t wait to see your build. I will dig out my Academy kit and the decals. If itā€™s not too late, I will make a bit of a start tomorrow. All the beat Great to be back, thank you for the kind words, Tony
  11. Great to see you building this kitā€¦ I made it around 17 years ago. in bed! How I ever got all those struts to line up I will never know. it looks great Adrian you are doing a lovely job. For the radiator it the front, you can make a nice feature if you go for it. Rub a little pencil graphite into it after painting it with metallics. If you would like to see a photo of my dodgy attempt from years ago; think I have one somewhere. Also an unmade ā€˜AB Modelā€™ with the KP Kit as the base, but resin bits for a different engine; a prototype of some kind. Keep up the good work; it looks smashing so far; that jig is very clever. All the best Tony
  12. Hello Is it too late to enter the Group Build? I have an Academy 1/72 kit and some funky French decals. Possibly a war in Algeria subject All the best TonyT
  13. Hello This is a great idea. I love Vacforms. Please count me in if possible. The Rareplanes kits are nice, but I have lots to choose from. Possibly a Lockheed Electra. May have a chat with my pal @JOCKNEY about a cunning plan šŸ¤” All the best TonyT
