Howzit Guys

Went to war and peace show a few weeks ago and there in running condition were 4 Dragon wagons!!Itook some great ref shots  around the winch and drive chains.. if you think these areas are clean then think again they were splattered in grease and oil.

Cheers

I finaly knuckled down and did some updates on the projects I have been busy with. I posted a whole lot of pics of the completed P-40B Tomahawk and Spitfire Mk Vb clip wing. I am chuffed with the Spitty as it looks lekker scruffy! I also started my Spitfire Mk IXe thread. Go take a look and let me know what you think.

See ya at the next meeting! Eric

Not doing much today, as I am winding down after a hectic week and weekend. David my eldest son had his 18th Birthday and party on Friday evening, plus rugby all day at school and then at the Shark Tank in the evening! (Go Sharks! AND Whoohoo!! DHS klapped Michaelhouse as well! Way to go!!)

So I thought I would updat e all my threads on the modelling projects I have been busy with. Go check them out!

Nice to see you here Dudley!

 How did the last meeting go? Sorry I couldn't be there.

Hey guys Eric helped me to post some pics of my stash and desk - I am somewhat technologically challenged but more ashamed of my work space.

Thanks for the suggestions Johan.

The blog here can be used for any comments and suggestions etc. There is also no reason that you cant use the "Club Chatter" and "FAQ" sections of the website as well for that. It would be better to keep it in the Forum environment so we can reply and keep a discussion string going if neccessary. Or do you want to open a new Forum heading for this?

The same applies for the For Sale and Wanted section. I will open a new Forum heading for this right away.
