Paul, congrats mate, that's an amazing scene you have put together.

Cool Wayne, hopefully we'll get some more heavy duty flatbeds to load some tanks on.

Nice, but where's the Locomotive?

Hey Mike, always fun to start collecting a new series. I'm tempted to collect this range as my Grandfather spent several months there as a Trooper with the Australian Lighthorse and later as a Military Policeman patrolling Egypt/Palestine etc during WWI. He brought back several souveniers...

Yikes, beware the 'Curse of the Collecting Mummy' :)

Same here, Autumn is our wettest season on the 'Sunshine Coast'.

Perhaps the most important thing missing from this discussion is that in most Countries you are only considered to be a Trader under the Tax Law if you Buy Good(s) intending to Sell. Most Collectors are Not Traders and are allowed to Declutter their Collection at any time. Consequently you are...

Mike, the vehicle is from the King & Country ALH (Australian Light Horse) range.

Food fights are usually fun, but seriously, those Muslims are never happy, give them a part of your country and they still complain.

It will be interesting to see how they can do a Naked Gun movie in the current PC environment.

I suspect the trend of blackening of the barrel end/muzzle brake on prebuilt collectable models follows the trend amongst the plastic modelling community. Personally as a past model builder and painter I find this subject (somewhat) interesting but can understand that others do not. I think...

Yes, firing does tend to blacken the barrel end, and it's worth noting that some of the barrels pictured have covers on the end to keep out dust etc.

Some popular releases this month, I'll get the VC Patrol set and the Capture of Ned Kelly set, with an opportunity to mix these Troopers with the JJD Gold Rush sets. In 1906 Australia made the World's First feature length film, 'The Story of the Kelly Gang', and of course it's the Worlds First...

Louis, you sure have some impressive displays mate :cool:

I suspect there are a number of factors involved however I agree the increasing use of drugs certainly makes things worse. I've been rewatching the terrific Narcos TV series that Brett recommended to me several years ago. The series reminded me of the early days of drug use in Australia, back...
