Hello from the Land Downunder

[buick1934]

Hello everyone,

I'm Michael from Perth, Western Australia.  I've been a model builder since I was a teenager, building mostly military aircraft, armor & figures, but also the odd muscle car, hotrod and truck along the way. In my late 20's I spent less time building and more time collecting the kits that I wanted to build one day.  Well, many years have now passed and along comes the realization that I will not get around to building all of those cataloged and stored kits, many of which are now going to new homes and I hope, workbenches.  I've narrowed my model building to large scale (1/8, 1/12) road cars and race cars as I like super-detailing to the n^th degree.  Currently on the workbench are a Monogram 1/8 Jaguar XK-E Coupe, Pocher 1/8 1935 Mercedes-Benz 500K-AK Cabriolet; and 1:8 Aston Martin DB5 007 version.

Cheers ... Michael

Welcome Michael...!   I have been building all my life too but my normal scale has been 1/25th or 1/24rth....been wanting to try out some very large scale stuff just to see how much detail I can add to one just seems like fun.

Down under? Isn't that the land where the women glow and the men plunder? 

Welcome aboard.

Welcome Michael..

Welcome. Sounds like you have a nice collection of kits. I don't know how it goes in Australia, but it seems that many of us have more kits than we'll ever build. I'm leaving mine to my kids and grandson.
