Middle Earther in the Middle East...

Post by Aaron Smith »

I am a New Zealander living in Dubai, UAE. I build mainly WWII armour in 1/35 (all nationalities), and as an ex Royal New Zealand Armoured Corps officer anything NZ is of particular interest (in fact it was a cross post of Gary's Sherman III that brought me over here). Unfortunately I get very limited build time which results in a lot of kits started and few finished, but I hope I will be able to achieve a bit more this year and contribute something positive!

Hello Arron!

Have you done the ski slope yet? How about the Dragon Mart? Half the furniture in our apartment was from Dragon Mart.

I was two and a half years in Abu Dhabi with Etihad Airways. We used to enjoy driving up the Deadly Highway to see friends in Dubai.

Any of these look familiar????? :D
