Another new chap, from Australia

[Stevo79]

Hello Everyone, 

 

Well first off my name is Steve and have recently moved from sunny Sydney, Australia to Melbourne, Australia after retiring from my 15 year military.  As a kid like most of us here started at an early age modelling plastic kits.  From there the hobby grew then I hit that special time of our lives when we discover 1. Women and 2. alcohol and not in any particular order. The hobby took a back seat for probably 20 years with work, wife, life and kids taking up the time.  After being injured and being permanently retired with a full military pension I was left with a lot of spare time so I jumped back into modelling to keep my mind sharp and the motor skills going plus its one thing I can still do comfortably.  I got back into the plastic kits for a while then progressed to 1/3 and 1/4 scale gliders and model ships.

 

I have completed a number of model ship kits and am ready to get stuck into some scratch building now.  I look forward to chatting with you all in the forums.

Gidday Steve and welcome aboard.

I'm also in Victoria although a fair way from Melbourne, which is how I like it.

You certainly have found the right site for the sharing of knowledge and expertise.

I wish you all the best in your endeavours.

Mark.
