Hi all, new member checking in.
I'm Rick from Wellington, New Zealand.
I've been modelling for more years than I care to think about and yet still haven't completed as much as I could (or feel I should) have... but at least it's consistent!
My interests cover a wide swathe of genres, mostly of the 'What I think is cool' type, so there is plenty to keep me occupied (and poor)...
Current projects are:
1/35 Sdkfz 247 4-rad conversion of the Tamiya '223
1/32 WW2 VW conversion of Airfix kit
1/72 Sky Crawlers-esque twin-boom heavy fighter Whif
1/72 Moonbase Alpha defence tank scratchbuild Whif
1/72 Soltam L33 SPG conversion
I will only be able to check in as and when I have net access, so there will probably be a few hiatuses there, but we'll see how things go.
Cheers and TTFN
Rick

I am currently unsupervised... I know, it freaks me out, too. But the possibilities are endless!!

Thanks, everyone
I feel right at home here, amongst the rest of the 'assorted nuts' - oops, used the outside voice again, didn't I...
Dirk - I'll get some pics up when I have access to a camera (and figure out how to get them here...)
