Hi all,
Apologies for being quiet of late. Things continue to tick over well on our little forum; I am enjoying watching all of the action in our current group build. I thank you all for being such a great community here, you make mine and the moderator's lives very easy :)
Otherwise, industry news remains pretty quiet, with a couple of 1/32 related exceptions. Such are the ebbs and flows of our WW1 aviation modelling niche.
As for me, my modelling drought continues. Work and life have meant I haven't sniffed any glue since about August 2024, and sadly that trend looks to continue. The joys of a very busy job working for His Majesty's Royal Australian Flying Corps, and managing a sizeable property and the associated work! Accordingly, I'll continue to model vicariously through all of the builds here, haha!
It also means that I am yet to undertake some of the minor forum restructuring I mentioned in my last update. This restructure is not an urgent thing, so it will come in good time. I still always welcome inputs on how to make the forum better, so do keep them coming.
Lastly, some of you know I live in Brisbane, Australia. Right now we have a category 2 tropical cyclone bearing down on us (the first in over 50 years this far south). Tropical cyclone Alfred is due to hit landfall here as a Category 2 cyclone in the next 24-48 hours and track through Brisbane's northern suburbs, so we're all battening down the hatches. We're expecting very strong winds and a lot of rain and flash flooding. My stash should hopefully remain above the high water mark!

In any case, life continues...!
I hope you all remain well, and may the model glue remain every present in your nostrils! Model on, chaps!

Stay safe Brad, praying for you guys down under.

Good luck and stay safe!
-
Best of luck with your cyclone defences, hope you all make it through ok.
-
All the Best through the stormy weather, Brad!

"I shall model vicariously with all the build's going on here" Ha ha, that's how me with my shaky hand's modal on! And thoroughly enjoy my numerous builds! ;)

This cyclone has been in the news daily here too. I hope you will all be okay Brad.

Thank you all! Thankfully there wasn't any real damage at Casa de Cancian - all has returned back to normal. Thankfully the cyclone did not turn out as bad as it may well have been. There were still some of us closer to the coast that certainly got hit a bit harcer.
I sincerely appreciate all of your kind words of support!
Cheers again!

I'm so glad to hear it!

Glad you made it through ok. It made the news here in the UK just before it hit, so it looked like it was going to be bad.

Good to hear you folks are all allright over there Brad! We were holding our breath...
