I am in Wellington on holiday, and we have an awesome view out the window at the port. Yesterday and today we have watched a small ship unloading land rovers, hagglunds with what seem to be generators on the back, and large unimog sized (but not unimogs) trucks, all painted in dark forest green paint. Yesterday 3 hagglunds with trailers, and two of the unimog sized trucks and one land rover left on the back of PTS trucks. The ship is called the HARTWIG SCAN, and it may have come from Singapore. I can't find any info about it, even from the Wellington port, so was wondering if anyone here knows about it. I'm wondering if maybe it is just army surplus equipment from Singapore... I have emailed the shipping company to see if they will tell me...

That's no good Dave. My prayers are with you for a speedy recovery.

looking through some of the other diorama's most of them it is hard to believe they are models at all!

Great shots Errol. I was there and loved it. Walking back to the carpark with a few minutes to go and the Mozzie flew straight over my head! It sounds very good when it is very close!

When I saw this on TV I was quite impressed and really enjoyed hearing from a war veteran. For a recruitment ad, it was really well done.

I have built this model, as NAC ZK-BRD. It was not a fun build, and I am still not entirely happy with how it turned out, but there isn't anything else out there in 1/72 is there?

So when are you putting pictures up of the model with "a few flaws"? All I can see is an amazing spitfire! Really well done.

Remember that lady that wanted to have a bubble machine blowing bubbles at an art gallery in Wanganui, but the water for the bubbles came from a crematorium? How is that considered art but a beautifully crafted model aircraft, ship, or vehicle is not? Most art today is not original. All paintings are of something real, hence not truly "original". If elephants can draw on a canvas and it be called art, then i can paint a plastic model of a plane and deserve to have it called art as well :-)

For a truly amazing time consuming good time you should type these co-ordinates into google maps: 32.163005,-110.852877 . It is the most amazing aircraft graveyard I've ever seen... I wonder if we sweet talk the yanks, whether they will let us have some of those mothballed F16's as a present ;D
