Hi everyone!

I'm coming back into the hobby after 7 years. Am interested in most stuff, haven't developed an obsession on anything specific yet. I have completed 3 models this year so far: 1/35 Tamiya AAVP7, 1/35 Trimaster 20mm Flak and 1/35 Tamiya SAS Land Rover with Eduard PE. My goal:

to complete my stash of 30+models in 5 years...

On my workbench: 

a 1/35 Dragon 7.5cm Pak 40 waiting to be painted
a 1/72 Fujimi Luftwaffe Phantom with completed cockpit and seam lines on fuselage shouting out to be removed. This is a very old kit. Just wondering if any guys out there have done this one?

Technical Stuff:
will submit pictures once I figure out my camera (pressie from SWMBO)

swingbowler: cricket term. refers to a bowler who delivers ball which deviates in flight, causing batsmen to mishit the ball and hence get out. famous swingbowlers: Wasim Akram, Damien Fleming, Ian Botham and of course Dennis Lillee

that should be enough.

Welcome Aboard Lim,
Looking forward to seeing your work.

I know nothing about a lot of things, and twice as much nothing about Cricket...... :-)

Welcome to Armorama!

I have that Dragon Pak 40 waiting to be painted as well. Check out the following thread for an error in the instruction sheet. I hope you haven't made the same mistake as I did.

Welcome aboard! For a good demonstration of the swing bowler's art take a look back at what Pakistan did to the England cricket team this morning...

wow! thanks for the hellos guys, you are definitely active!

1. correction: SAS Jeep, not SAS Land Rover, got my completed and next projects mixed up.
2. Have installed camera software, I have images on hard disk
3. Problem: I spent the whole morning taking beautiful pictures and they are huge in memory: 2.5 megs each. I only just discovered the 600k limit here. Ouch!

Be patient guys.

Lim...welcome to the Big A family. I think you will find that this is the best model forum on the net. Most anything and everything you could want to know is right here at your fingertips. And if you can't find it ..just ask..

Can't wait to see some of your work...

Lovely jeep mate and welcome to a VERY addictive site. In fact I would suggest you run away right now, 'cos once the hook bites... :-) :-) :-)
