G'day from Rockhampton
« on: March 15, 2016, 10:08:15 AM »
Thought that I'd better introduce myself as I've been lurking around on the forum now for quite a while admiring all the fantastic work. I'm just getting back into modelling and setting myself up with a lot of the new tools as well as learning some of the new techniques that I've seen displayed on the forum. I've gotten onto the Wingnuts train rather late and missed out on some of the kits that I wanted  :'( but I've got the Alb DVa OAW, Fok DVII F and the SE5a Hisso sitting in the cupboard and I'm itching to start! So hopefully I will be able to post some of my efforts soon.

Thanks for the warm welcome guys. Looks like I'm going to have to get cracking and build some models. I've just gotta get my hyper critical anal modeling syndrome under control! ::) It's been the bane of my modeling existence. I think I'm going to have a crack at the SE5a Hisso first, I want to try my interpretation of Stan Dallas's camouflaged D3511 when he was commander of 40 Squadron RFC/RAF. I have a fascination with Dallas as I live in the area that he grew up but sadly he is hardly recognized here, mainly I think because he flew with the Brits instead of the Aussies. Anyway I think it's a pretty ambitious first project but I love that it looks so different from all the other bland PC-10 SE5s. Wish me luck.

Dave.
