Hi from Sydney, Australia

[Dave Manning]

Hi everyone.

I've just registered and would like to introduce myself.
I'm 4 years into my retirement (37 years in Aust Customs!!!) and on top of my painting (portraits, horses and dogs) and amateur astronomy & Astrophotography I've recently re-visited my childhood and gotten back into model building.

I've yet to try Hard Paper Models but have already ordered a series of "kits" from EDU Craft Diversions in the USA to go with my Revel 1/144 Space Shuttle which I'm currently building.

I'm putting together a bit of a 1/144 scale display of Milestones In Space Exploration after completing my old 1975 Airfix Saturn V last year for the 50th anniversary of Apollo 11.

The display will be nice for when ever my Macarthur Astronomical Society gets to resume public viewing nights and special events. Not anytime soon though, I fear.

Anyway, thanks for alllowing me to join your Forum and I'm ready to absorb as much as you guys can offer.

Dave

Gidday Mate, from Melbourne. How's your Kangaroo? (Gotta keep up appearances, they all think we keep them as pets).

If you haven't found them already, there's a number of build threads of the Educraft kits in the Space forum, I look forward to seeing yours and if you have any queries, don't be afraid to ask.
