Title: G'day from South Australia
Post by: Carpo on April 20, 2012, 04:55:13 PM: Hey All,
Great to see a dedicated WW1 modelling forum standing up.
As an introduction, I am a mad Australian Flying Corps modeller and my builds can be seen here: http://home.iprimus.com.au/carpo1/1_48_ww1_aircraft.html (http://home.iprimus.com.au/carpo1/1_48_ww1_aircraft.html)
I once modelled exclusively in 1/48 but WnW has altered my plans for the future.
A couple of my build articles can be seen at the Australian Society of World War One Aero Historians here: http://www.ww1aero.org.au/modelling.html (http://www.ww1aero.org.au/modelling.html)
Best regards to all,
Carpo.

Looking forward to seeing more of your work, and hopefully some good tips and info.
Cheers,
Lance

@Lance - not too much1/48 going on at the moment - maybe later in the year! Now in my 40s, I rely more and more on magnifiers to do the work!

@ Sean - are you going to Melbourne Expo this year? I might see you there! I always like to think I introduced Brad Cancian to WW1 - but I think he got into it because he knew he could do it so much better than me.....
