    Greetings

    Hello Everyone
    I hail from Cairns in Australia. I have resumed model building in my retirement. I prefer ships of 1:200 and 1:350 scale. Looking forward to reading ,seeing and receiving advice from experienced builders.

          A warm welcome from me too. You can either ignore the occasional lunacy or join in if you wish.

            Hello Paul,
            a warm-hearted welcome! I've only been here for a few days and I think it's great. So many nice hobbyists and so much to discover.
            Best regards,
            Andi

                    Welcome. The ships part was kind of a surprise, I kind of expected you to say “tanks” given you’ve got a quality collection of real ones just about on your doorstep, though

                      Hi Paul and welcome
                      Strength isn't about what you can do, rather it's about overcoming what you thought you couldn't do.

                        Welcome Paul.
                        My mother used to live in Weipa, close to you in Cairns I believe. Bit warm she told me in your neck of the woods!!!

                          The Australian Armour and Artillery is literally next door to where I live. I could be tempted to build the German A7V as I used to go past Mephisto at the old Queensland Museum site in Brisbane enroute to school many decades ago.

                            Weipa is about 820kms NW of Cairns. It can be warm at times though I moved from Darwin to Cairns so I have the climate cooler.
