Yeah haaaaa. some one else who is older than me - not by much I admit - but I think I am now the THIRD oldest instead of the second oldest on the forum. Of course none of us can dream of reaching the Guru status of that venerable elder Garry. Barry also beats me with commencement age - I was an ancient ten year old before I started. Anyway Baz - welcome to the madhouse. Just to prove it's crazy it even attracts two headed, Tasmanian dwelling, colonial convict descendents to it's pages.

So nice to get some feed back from my intro from you chaps,look forward to getting stuck in on the site,Baza.

how are you getting on with your biplane build young man.

Hi All, the airframe is built,coverd in nylon, dopped and talcom powder finished, the covering is white as I intend to try my first ever air brush job. I have got the gear,some given to me and some purchased. I have got a book on (airbrushing for idiots,)will suit me fine I think,so when the weather warms up I will have a go at it. The book shows you how to practice on card board , so I will be spraying on all sorts,and hope I can develope some skills on the way. Acrylic paints I am told is the way to go, cheap and water based so easy to clean the guns during the work. When I find out how to put pics on the site perhaps I can show you all:) .

You know what Whis, we all have off days, at least we don't have them every 28days! It takes a big person to say sorry.

My wife suffers from PMT quite a lot, the only good day she had is about once every 28 days:cheer:

The wife has just lost her brother,and I am in the frame as executor of the will so am up to my neck in paper work at the present,hey ho thats life,so modeling is on hold for the time being,Barry.
