G’day everybody,[:D]
I’m a new member here. I was just having a browse in the forum, there were so many discussions I didn’t know where to start, I decided to introduce my self and get my bearings from there.
I am 29 and live in Australia. I started modelling at 10 with cars. Went of it in my late teens then got into Games Workshop 40k. I did this for some time,then I grew up (from a certain piont of view), and 2 years ago got into 1/35th armour.
My first completed project is a diorama featuring a Tiger 1 and its crew going over maps with some german soldiers in a field. I am now doing an Aussie M113 FSV and an Aussie F/A 18 Hornet, and have just bought a Marder II, and a VW type 87
I have one Question at this stage. Can anyone tell me where to find good walk around pictures online? Good reference books are impossible to get in the area I live and so expensive on mail order. I am particularly interested in finding Marder II’s, VW type 60’s, and German WWII motor bikes.
Thanks for reading, speak to you soon, Wacky

Hello Wacky and Welcome Aboard! [#welcome]
heres the marder II http://afvinteriors.hobbyvista.com/marder2/marder2a.html
G’day Capt’ Caveman,
Thanks for the links mate. Their awesome! They’ve even got colour pics of the Marder II. I spent quite some time doing searches for “marder II images” and the best I got was old blurry pictures.
So tell me, are you working on anything at the moment?

Good to see another Aussie join the forums. I see in a post in another area that you live in far North Queensland, can understand your problems, had similar problems when I was in Darwin.
Enjoy the forums
Thanks for all the messages, it was exciting to see so many replies so soon. I will see some of you in the armour forum in the future. I will be forced to visit the space and
sci-fi forums on occassion too.
Hi Wayne from SA. Good to hear from you. Cairns is surprisingly limited for models, references and materials. There isn’t even a hobby shop here, Toys R’ Us is the closest thing. I grew up in Brisbane, that’s where I got into models.
Soon I will be going to Japan to live a while, I fear however that I wil become broke from buying models.
What are you interested in with your modelling? Do you have any photos posted?
Hear from you soon.
Catch ya later, Wacky
Can’t understand how I missed this one. Anyway better late than never. Welcome to FSM.
Welcome to the forums, Wacky!

I mainly model 120mm Fiqures and german Armor. No photos yet but I am working on it. Hope to post photos of the fiqure I am working on now and the 60cm Morser when they are finished.
Welcome to the forums, wacky! Going to Japan, eh? Get in touch with J-hulk up there… he’ll point you in the right direction for finding stuff in Japan. [:D]
Welcome to the forum, Wacky. There’s a bunch of great people here. Have fun & enjoy !
