I love aircraft, especially helicopters, and have owned several aircraft models over the years. Although RC models look exciting, I've never owned a Radio Controlled aircraft, partly because I believed they would take some experience to fly, and expensive to replace after the inevitable...

Stephen King is one of my favourite authors, has written dozens of books, many becoming a succesful TV series or Film e.g; Salems Lot, Cujo, Pet Sematary, The Green Mile, The Shining, The Shawshank Redemption, Stand By Me, It, Christine, Firestarter, Tommy Knockers plus some adaptions that could...

A recent 'incident' in my neighbourhood has resulted in the death of a young woman, a man shot and several others injuired, apparently caused by a guy on drugs, but who knows really. What the heck is wrong with people these days? I hope he gets life, but no doubt he'll get a lighter sentence...

Hi fellow Treefrogers I have reluctantly decided to sell most of my Toy Soldier Collection. Before I consider selling any Australian based sets I intend to initially sell all my German sets, mainly WW2 Germans in Normandy plus a few WWI German sets. Please check my current ebay listings on my...

I'm looking forward to the Third Film in the 'Extraction' franchise on Netflix, hopefully it has minimum 'woke' issues that continue to ruin great franchise films. I actually enjoy these movies more than the John Wick movies in that they are more realisitic and dare I say believable, sorry...

A future classic? ;)

Watched this tonight at a small cinema in Brisbane, comfy leather seats and alcohol def helped but movie didn't disappoint. In fact, one of the best movies I've seen, non-stop action, comedy and hijinks from those guys. However there's a lot of swearing for those that may consider that...

Title could have been 'Stranger Things' but that's easily confused with a TV series, best to borrow from previous similar thread titles ^&grin Anyway, here's a thread for everything Local, Statewide, and Global etc that you find Strange. Be it related to Traditions, Culture, Customs...

The Quick Links link hasn't worked on my tablet and phone for some time, it works ok on my desk top. Anyone else having probs with it?

Hey guys, I'm after the King Tiger with Porsche Turret, preferably the Normandy version but Winter version will do. I ordered a Winter version listed on The Collectors Showcase website but Brian says they are now sold out and he can't get any more. Hoping someone has one to sell. Cheers Matt

I recommend viewing the following video, in addition to the usual information about various aircraft he reveals some interesting insights into historical events.

You think you guys have problems. I've never been to a dedicated Toy Soldier Show that was open to the General Public. As far as I know the closest in Australia would be the annual King & Country Dinners, and even they have been neglected lately due to Covid etc. I really thought Toy Soldier...

The Australian Armour and Artillery Museum is a privately owned museum dedicated to tanks, armoured vehicles and artillery from the Second World War and post war periods. It was officially opened in 2014, in Cairns, Queensland, Australia. The museum has purchased a number of vehicles and items...

I thought it would be Interesting to Hear what Music other Members enjoy. Personally I love most kinds of Music ranging from Classical, Easy listening to Heavy Metal. I have a large collection of songs on my You Tube Music App that I play at Home and while travelling. I guess I'm obliged to...
