Maybe not the LOYL may just be waiting till the right moment.

Who's Garry Ablett then again do I really need to know
My guess would be he played Galic football

OK,OK.I admit I didn't tick the right box to get on the birthday list
I didn't pay much attention to it till the other day.I have never looked at the calender till you mentioned it
I,m the slackercaught red faced

Lovely work.

Quite inspirational for us mug beginners to see what is possible

Well done! Many thanks for sharing.


.

was that Gary Ablett Snr or Jr? Maybe I shouldnt tell you I go for Hawthorn!!!! Only cos my neighbour is from Camperdown, Vic. I told him Id go for Hawks if hed go for Balmain Tigers.Now we get to drink through two grand finals instead of just one.
cheers, billy

Hi guys.Just something that makes me feel good,being an old fella and all that.
I have noticed that Started My Car is sitting at 10993 views
I was going to sleep making little boxes.Being interested in cars all my life,I thought I will make a wood car,not one of those blocky onesSomething that looked like a car.I couldnt find any thing I liked in books.I finally found Toys&joys and went from there.
I downgraded my dreams with this first one.
I was thinking of opening doors,bonnet and boot.All that was a bit scarry at the time.
Then I found Waynnicko,who builds the most wonderfull wood models.Wayne doesn't have any fancy gear like I was expecting,Most of it he has made himself.
I then figured I had to ramp up my skill level about 300% or so.Well I am trying,and I hope one day I will get there
I still havent made a model with opening parts yet.I am making samples for practice though.Little wood hinges and glueing them in the right place is a skill on its own PHEW is it what
Thanks to all the guys that have pushed me along,It kept me going Being new to woodwork at the time I thought I am never going to get this finished.As I made the parts I posted them.Every one knew where I was at,mistakes and all.
It scared me so much I never posted a thing on my next model till it was nearly finished
Have a happy xmas guys

Hey Aussie- There is a guy over on the metal forum that seems to know all about making model wagon wheels.No pics but plenty of noise.We will see if he can post his effortswonder if he is from Brisbane?

Nope, ya got that wrong, Victoria actually, try Macleod West.

Thats a lot of work but it looks like its worth it.

G'Day Aussie,
