I will be visiting in February 08. Melbourne, Sydney, Wagga Wagga and beaching it in Cairns. I have a friend in the RAAF in Wagga and my cousin married an Aussie in Melbourne. I meet her husband for the first time right after you guys purloined the America's Cup from some unsuspecting American sailors <grin>.

G'day

Newbie to card modeling from Central Queensland. I haven;t made any card models except for a Metcalf Goods Shed. I have been reluctant to get a card model as I was unsure of the quality. Then I seen and remembered the goods shed sitting on my shelf and thought "well that is good for card, I guess the others could be too." Anyway mainly interested in 1/200 airships as card seems to be the only option for many of them.

Hi all, Adelaidean here... Crows man and true Aussie. Into all kinds of card modelling as well as the wargaming stuff and scenery...
Always interested in trying out all types of stuff to build too!! Interests range from fantasy to historical to scifi. I dont build cars anymore because I reckon some blokes just have the knack. I'll build tanks all day if I could

Cheers.

Hi to all locals from Sydney's Inner West.

Love the paper and wood and have had a dabble with 3Dmax.

I make great use of my Canon IP5300 that will print on paper to 270 gsm, and breakfast cereal carton for thickening.

Re: John Griffins query ...I think you have Buckley's chance of finding paper kits in OZ. Best option is download electronics and print them yourself. Intersted in others success in getting printed card from overseas to your door in good nick. Also interested in a local source of metallic paper for printers.

G'day fellow Aussies,

Roger Pearson checking in from Bendigo in central Victoria. I have a number of modelling interests, but the one pertaining to this thread is the modelling of "Allied Light Coastal Forces 1914-1945" using card models as a basis.

My predominant scale will be 144th, but I have been tinkering with some in 72nd scale and seriously considering a few in 35th scale. My sources are dominated by 'Coastal Forces in Paper' who has done some very nice Fairmile 'A' and 'B' MLs, the 'C' class gunboat and HDMLs to name a few. I also have a Vosper MTB, a US PT Boat and a BPB MGB among others.

Other models I am 'tinkering' with include Sub Chasers from both world wars, the WW1 ML and the small Australian built Army supply and ambulance launches.

I have tried posting recent 'progress' pics on this forum, but the pics I have fall just outside the allowable size, so if anyone wants to see what I'm working on (a Fairmile B in 35th scale is going to be quite impressive I think), just e-mail me or give me a call.

Cheers,
Roger Pearson.
