G'day from Victoria, Australia

Post by David Hurst »

Thanks for the add to this forum.
I have been modelling for a good 30 plus years, my interests vary in all avenues of modelling from Armour to Aircraft to cars and truck and I also dabble a bit in Warhammer.
My armour interests are mainly 2nd World War German, particularly 1/35 Panzer 4, Panzer 3, Stug 3 and Half Tracks. I have an interest in Australian post WW2 artillery, in particular 25 Pounder Field guns.
My Aircraft interests are mainly German WW1 and 2 Piston engined and Allied fighters and bombers. Scales 1/72 and 1/48.
My Car interests are mainly Sprintcars and other dirt track open wheel categories. I was at one stage designing artwork for models and having decals produced.
Warhammer 40K Space Marines, Fantasy, Forgeworld and ORK figures are my favourites.
I'm currently building 2 Stug 3 B's and an SDKFZ 253.
I dont think any of my completed models are box stock, I enjoy modifying and scratch building. I scratch built a few Panzer 4's from the old Tamiya 4D kit before Dragon came along and released a lot of what I had already in my collection. I no longer belong to a club, it's been about 16 years since I last went to a club meeting. I just enjoy tinkering away at something different.
Looking forward to seeing your creations.

Hello David!

You will find a lot of people here who never build anything direct from the box.

Welcome David! :D

Your interests look like they're just my fields (with the exception of the cars and supplant planes with dreadnought-era warships ;) ).
Apparently a little excursion into the 40th millennium comes automatically if one likes armour :mrgreen: .

Make yourself at home here, sit down in a comfy spot and by all means show us some of your builds! :D


Best regards
