G'Day & Welcome to a top forum "Paul".
It's great to see and have another toymaker, model maker join the forum....
The mob on the toymaking & model making section of the forum are a top bunch....
There are a heap of members in & around Melbourne as well as across the rest of Victoria..
You'll find a heap of helpful & knowledgeable blokes & ladies on the forum and for most very willing to assist.
Make sure you show off your handiwork as everyone loves a photo, especially WIP [work in progress] photos with build notes.
Enjoy the forum.
Enjoy your woodwork and model making.....
Cheers, crowie
PS - Take a stroll thru the toymaking & model making sections to see the variety and talent of the folk who are on the forum....
