Hi All, my name is Dave. I hope you had a good Christmas and New Year!

I'm familiar with a couple of members through Britmodeller (Madsteve and Colin Burgess) and FB (Colin again), I spotted the link to this site through one of Steve's postings over on BM.
A couple of threads regarding Baxmod caught my interest, I have a fair few of their 1/35 kits in my stash. I'm currently working on the G6 kit and I also have an Olifant begging to be finished! I'll try to sort out a few pictures.

Dave.

Welcome fellow Brit,

Its wet and wild here, unlike our cousins in 'ol SA where its typically warm at this time of the year.

So you're building a G6, nogal? Will love to see the finnished kit! cyclops 

Till later bub.

Wow, that G6 is an awesome kit!!

That turret is big enough for 6 blokes to stand up in it!

I guess that is going on my wish list!!

Can't wait to see you do the works on it!

very late from me! I've been a bit slack around here to date - but welcome from downunder!

As for your stalled Olifant - get you're rear into gear and get it done!

looking good.

Cheers Phil.

I think the Olifant will be back on the bench once the G6 is out of the way.
