'Gidday all! Thought I'd come and say hi I know there are a couple of you here who already know me from MCM and LSP, but for those who don't, my name is Simon and I'm a model-holic.
Firstly, thanks Joe for the very kind invite to join to which I gladly accepted. I look forward to scouring these boards and checking out the wonderful talent that's here. I'll post a couple of current WIPs and some RFI's in due course.
A little bit about me: I am a kiwi living in Australia, not too fat, nearly 50 and fortunate to have a wife and child (who sadly isn't into modelling as much as me, despite my best efforts). I'm not a professional modeller by any stretch and I don't take myself too seriously. Always willing to learn new techniques where I can and I'm happy to share any knowledge that may be of use to someone. Oh, and I have a serious issue with super detailing sci-fi kits....
So, with that, I say hello and now I'm going to check out some of the builds here! See you soon and thanks for having me Si

Welcome aboard! You can't go wrong super detailing a sci fi kit, at worst you're just predicting the future. What could go wrong?

Welcome to the show, Simon! Hooray another car afficianado? yes and no - I do build cars (as well as planes, ships, tanks, sci-fi, even trains) but I am not terribly good at them. I am getting better results now than what I used to but still learning ways to get a better finish without the mistakes

Howdy, Simon. A Kiwi living in Ausie-land is like a Brit living in Aussie-land, or an Ausie living in Brit-land. Now I know three of yuz, you making number three, HA! Kinda like a New Yorker living in Kansas, I recon. T'sall good, cause you're still close by, either way, right? Post em when ya got em and have fun! Cheers, Ski.

Hi Simon! Welcome to MSC! Glad to have you join us here. I'm in the same boat. You name it and I've built it. I started in 1946 (6 years old) and never stopped. Love sailing ships and WWI & WWII planes. Look forward to seeing your work. Stay safe. Jim
