Title: hello from Brisbane Australia
Post by: spupnik on November 29, 2013, 10:59:42 PM: Hi everyone
I am both and old hand and very new to this hobby. I have been a painter of historical miniatures since my teens but I have only built one aircraft kit since 1980- and that was only a few weeks ago! I have always had a fascination for WWI aviation and also for the aircraft used in the wars following “Peace” in November 1918, especially the Polish- Soviet war and the Russian Civil War.
I was lucky enough to see the most recent Vintage Aviator airshow and that is when I decided to start making planes again.
Cheers

Best wishes

I am a "complete" novice to WWI aircraft, but you could not have found a BETTER forum for friendliness & good advice!!
This is the best I have been treated on ANY modeling forum, "BAR NONE"!! :)

I am hoping to get to New Zealand soon to see all those wonderful aircraft first hand, I am glad they have inspired you to start building WW1 aircraft models and I look forward to seeing your builds posted here.

There are some very nice ww1 figures about too - hope to see you apply your skills to some of them!
I am eagerly awaiting the upcoming release of an RFC pilot and mechanic in 54mm from Model Cellar.
There are several manufacturers out there - you might find something to suit your new interest!
