  1. Happy happy birthday!
  2. Hi guys. I have a really nice student named Ottis. For xmas I gave him a BanDai X wing fighter. He built it. He had never seen a plastic model before. He described building it thusly, "It was really cool and fun"
  3. Superb! Well done. I love your cabinets as well.
  4. That gig was unforgettable. A regional 4 night tour. 6000 + Kilometers. Three men in a van full of gear. This gig was a Bachelor and Spinster's ball. The town is a race course and a pub/General store. The gig is in a huge tent. During Smells like teen spirit, I saw a couple engaged behind my drum riser. At the far end of the tent two enormous fat women are mooning the room. (Imagine 2 giant light bulbs) a fight is engaging the bassist. The crowd is jumping around mindlessly drunk. I notice someone is jumping up and down on the tents roof. Right above the drunken dancers. RIIIIIIPPPPPPP and gravity took hold of the trampoline loving dancer. He lands on the dancing mob. So many gumboots! That was just one song. The pay? $280.00 cash in hand. We drove 8 hours to get there. Classic.
  5. Correct. I know a bit about heating metal. I am a fully qualified industrial blacksmith. I used to make large hooks for cranes. Terrible job. The furnace is 2600 C° and we worked the metal at 1900 C°. Our tongs were 1 meter in length. Completed my apprenticeship at 18, and never worked a day at it since. Drumming was way less hot.
  6. I really want a good Vampire. I always loved its low stance. I am unaware of a large scale Vampire. I do have a Matchbox Venom which I will build soon. Your choices?
  7. Hi guys. I nearly bought this today but I would like your thoughts before forking out $175.00. Many thanks.

  8. A crazy young woman. I reckon she will have left by now. The rain is pelting down. I will go to an Italian restaurant later. It is only 4.30 p.m. Sunday. Life is good. I am very happy with my life. I am no longer touring in bands. I get to work on models. I have zero debt. I live very simply and play drums every day. I have no woman and don't want one. No point with a body that is 70% numb. All I need to do every day is a body check for injuries. Life is good.
  9. I used to fly around Australia during the 1970's when I moved from job to job as a child often in the Fokker Friendship. I am looking at the 1/72 Italeri version.
  10. I gave her my business card when she moved in. I offered to help explain about the laundry, where to eat etc. I escaped into town to Hobbyco. As you may imagine, I picked up soft sanding sticks, flat clear and 3 models. I bought the HKH Gloster meteor, 2 Hasegawa 1/24 formula one cars. I am now at the bar where my band plays. I will stay out until dinner.
  11. The day is wet and I hope it reaches the fires. Last night I sat and had loads of fun blending pastels and seeing how far I can go. I have been mixing pastels in all kinds of ways using the colour guide.
  12. She seems to have gone. She will return.
  13. Thanks guys. As far as I can tell, she recently arrived from China. She is a stranger in a strange land. I have no desire to cause her any harm. My fault is I am a huge softie. I can envision my day, making cups of tea and being gentle. I have yet to see the latest Star wars movie. Of I go into the city I will spend money. And we all know if I go to Hobbyco there is bound to be so.e juicy models. (Plastic models. Unlike my youth when models were female and I was on TV so often) I can always find a Korean restaurant and eat kimchi and drink Sohju. For crying out loud, knocking!!!!
  14. Check this bizzare situation out. I live in a small flat. The rent is cheap and my hospital is a 5 minute walk away. I am just a musician and am not rich. These flats aren't for the wealthy. Last Saturday a nice young Chinese lass moved into the flat opposite my door. She seemed nice I gave her my card. If she had any question she could call. Monday morning I awoke to loud banging on my door. She. "Did someone die in this flat?" Me. "No, not that I know." She. "I want the truth, I can't live here." Me. "Have you called the real estate agent?" She. "I want to move out..... I try to assist her. She's totally freaking out. Long story short, she left. I ring the agent to find out what is happening after receiving a crazy tect from the woman asking me to call the agent (not my agent) to ask them to send a priest to cleanse the flat. Madness. I awoke this morning to more knocking. She's not gonna leave me alone today, Sunday. I don't want to deal with it. It is pissing down with rain. Really coming down. Perfrect day for modelling. I always have my door open for fresh air. My options are, deal with a frantic nutter, go into the city to the model shop, maybe see a movie... When speaking to Allan, the agent, he apologized for the trouble. My response, "At least we're not married to her!" My damned mother was insane. Crazy woman tried to strangle me when I was 12. I get all the crazies!!! After George Harrison was attacked, he said to Eric Idle, "Why doesn't this ever happen to the Rolling Stones?" End rant. She inspired my current signature.
  15. Anthony Fokker and his companies created some interesting aircraft. Name Fokker aircraft you'd desire to build in large scale. The F-32 would be one interesting choice. Another?
  16. Great. Glad I can help. A music student of mine is one of Australia's best professional artists. At his urging I have begun to buying important colours used to mix every colour. I am currently experimenting with colours. I just made RLM 02. Yay me!
  17. I don't own a bed. My relatives sold it when they thought I was as good as dead. They replaced it in a rush when I remained alive with a HUGE couch I cannot remove. They must have brought it in through a window. I have not slept in a bed since leaving hospital.
  18. It looks very good. I am going to get it. The 2000 is such a sexy Mirage. I may get one of each.
  19. Go to an art store and buy a complete set of pastel chalk. There are colour mixing guides online. You will save LOADS of cash. IMHO Modelling companies selling tiny grams of powder top dollar are ripping customers off. It is criminal. Pastel mixing guide.
  20. I am devastated. Zero interest at my end. I'd prefer a Defiant!!!! What a waste of space. I'd prefer rampant hemmorhoids. At least there is a cream for that.
