Agreed; David Bowie is an absolute legend; his influence can be heard in many bands; like the vocals in this one:

Good to hear from you Rog š Hoping that you are not still in lockdown š¦ 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 š 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 š TonyT

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 š š š š 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

Tamiya 1/24 Alpine A110 Monte-Carlo 71
TonyTiger66 replied to Andy J's topic in Work In Progress - Vehicles
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 -
Yes š 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 š Anthony

Gloster F.5/34 - Magna Models 1/72 - Finished
TonyTiger66 replied to AdrianMF's topic in Anything But Injection GB
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 š Keep up the good work Adrian; I see sanding sticks in your futureā¦ -
Letov S.16 - KP 1/72 (95p) - Finished
TonyTiger66 replied to AdrianMF's topic in Less Than A Tenner GB
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 āAB 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 -
Got to love Moby š

Looking forward to this š 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, Iām told: Really want that boxing. However, seeing it made by anyone will be a treat. Good luck with the build š Anthony

TonyTiger66 replied to Wez's topic in Texan / Harvard STGB
Hello J-W Thank you; itās good to be back The NA50 looks superb; I never knew that it existed. It will look great in Peruvian colours. Iām 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. Canāt wait to see your build. I will dig out my Academy kit and the decals. If itās 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 -
Letov S.16 - KP 1/72 (95p) - Finished
TonyTiger66 replied to AdrianMF's topic in Less Than A Tenner GB
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 āAB 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 -

TonyTiger66 replied to LorenSharp's topic in Bunfight Archives
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 š¤ All the best TonyT
