www.kiwimodeller.com/Here's hoping it succeeds where so many others have failed  Wonder if IPMS clubs will get on board to help promote a genuinely open national modelling forum as the guy hopes, with IPMS and non IPMS co-existing in a constantly updating site. Hope so (No Calum... haven't forgotten ANZAC Modeller. An excellent resource) Cheers.

I have met Gary who runs that forum, he's a great bloke. He also runs the RAF B24 Liberator website.

Heya chaps, I've been registered here for quite a while but I'm pretty slack when it comes to visiting (just ask the folks). Yeah I'm still alive and I'm pretty tenatious so expect to see the site around for a while, the B-24 site has been going for 12 years nearly now, through a couple of hack attacks and data losses, server deaths but I keep bouncing back. Hey Dave where did we meet, not only am I crap at visiting but my mind is going as well Thanks for the plug anyways, thought I'd stop by and say cheers. Gary |

We met at the Armistice in Cambridge model table last November, and you were showing me the model of your Grandad's B-24, plus various other things. i used to be in the Hamilton model group before it went posh and became IPMS, back in the days when I had time to do my own modelling and not just admire other people's work. In those days the core of the group were the late great Tim Cunane, Kerry Carlyle (who's on here occasionally), Dave Roberts and Mike Aldridge who are still in your group, Matt Melchart, Wayne Parsons (?), and myself with a few who came and went. I think I was a regular to monthly meetings for about four years or so, but my modelling become less and less and then Kerry, who always gave me a lift, moved to Auckland so I stopped going. It was a fun group though. i recall we did a group build of NZ Warbird aircraft for a display in the Hamilton Library to help promote the 1995 airshow at Hamilton. I did ZK-DAK and ZK-TAF in 1/48th. tehre were all sorts of models of current warbirds there. The previous year we also did a group build in 1/72nd of D-Day aircraft also for the library. They were very supportive of our club actually. Not sure if they still are.
You and I have also corresponded via PM on Key Publishing Forum I believe, in fact I PM'd you last week. ;D
It's always good to see other kiwi sites promoted here. Good luck with the site and forum and please rmemebr if you get any good NZ aviation models come up there, tip us the wink here with a link so our lot can go have a looksee.
