Airdogspiff Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Hi Not exactly a new member but I haven't posted anything before nor have I even introduced myself. I have lived in Perth, WA since 2009, after getting myself transported here from England. I was an RAF Police Dog Handler many moons ago, that, along with chasing jobs around the country, meant that modelling had to take a back seat for 20 odd years but now we're settled, I'm trying to make up for lost time. I am mainly interested in 1/35 scale stuff from the cold war time period but will have a go at anything that I like the look of. Cheers 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArnoldAmbrose Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Gidday Cobber, welcome (back) aboard. I'm into ships myself, mainly Airfix 1/600 scale to date. And rather crudely assembled. What did you do to get transported? And 7 years or 14? 😁 (We've been watching DVD's of "Against the Wind" of late). Regards, Jeff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

europapete Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 (edited) Welcome aboard! Although I am in Rhode Island, USA, I have a brother-in-law in Brisbane and an Uncle in Cairns. When I call Richard's (BIL) office, I always ask for the Pommie Barstard in my my best Aussie accent! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 and they put me right through to him! Uncle Graham is retired, so that quip doesn't work with him 🤣🤣🤣. Anyway, enjoy our irreverence, madness, and sarcasm. We mean well, and tap into the vast collective knowledge of everything model related. Regards, Pete in RI. ps, I hope you have some of those AWESOME! shrimp on the barbie.

Cheers Hello to a fellow Aussie who has taken the plunge to post for the first time. Opposite side of the country (QLD here) but I was also originally from the UK and I share your 20 odd year hiatus from a hobby that I hope to restart, Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
