Hi
I am Duncan and I live down here in Tasmania that little island below that place called Australia. I've just got back into 1/35 Armour after a looooooong break, buying my 6 year old son his first 1/72 plane to hang from the ceiling, led to a flurry of ebay purchase's as the shops down here charge like wounded bulls!!!
I like WW2 German Armour, but I'm becoming increasing interested in the paper panzers like the E-100...etc...or possible Tanks that could have been... basically 'Panzer 46'

This site is great really glad I found it.
All the best to you all.

Regards Duncan.

Thanks you for the warm welcomes

I a bit relaxed when it come's to absolute reality as I want to enjoy and express myself rather than be measuring the length of a breach or how much Dandruff accumulated on the floor of a Tiger tank!!!
but hey each to his own.... that's what it's all about.

People are people so disagreements happen (I'm not bothered !!!) ... would you believe I'm involved in a heated discussion (sort of... ha! ha!) about a tree????

I've actually entered 2 campaigns! = I'm just waiting for the post woman to get my kits here... (a Dicker-max from France and a JagdTiger from Hong Kong = gotta love ebay) so I can get off and running, plus my OH has got me a mystery kit? and a lot of new paint and other goodies for my Birthday can't wait!!!

Thanks again.
