Donny Posted July 20 Posted July 20 Hi guys, briefly, I'm from Brisbane Australia. Just getting back into the model car scene after a thirty-year hiatus. Built many models when in my twenties/ thirties, but then life got in the way - kids, mortgages and all that. Got back into modelling building a railroad for my son and now my grandson. I'm a retired motor mechanic and trial driver so cars are in my blood. Just purchased a couple of kits to get going again, so I guess you'll see a few posts popping up every now and then - you know, how the hell do I do this type of post. Nice to be here and share interests. Donny 6

G’day Donny, I’m down in Tassie mate, still a little cold here to spray paint at the moment ( I build in my shed ) but I’ll make up for it when it gets warmer.

I'm very lucky that way mate. Typical Queensland winter, low twenties right now, has been cold though 0-1 at night and 15 in the day, that's cold for us, as you would know, winter usually around 22/23, beautiful. I have to spray outside anyway, the wife cracks up about the smell, even outside, I have to wear my mask, so I know how she feels. Keep in touch. Don
