    This is so cool Digger and Will. You two did a very good job at assembling it. A proper job! I got a mini me for my birthday and that made me pretty happy. This makes me want to make some airfix models now.

    In the "Big Cats" thread, I think some people claim to have seen larger felines than that roaming the Australian bush.

    Last time those DIY models were available, I decided that it was time to start educating my 3 year old granddaughter about iconic vehicles, so I bought one for her as well as one for myself. She enjoyed helping me assemble it and seems to treat it with a good deal more respect than her other toy cars.

    Supermarket chain ---- says it will open stores in South Australia, expanding its Australian reach beyond the east coast.

    The company said it was making plans to open up to 50 stores, creating 900 jobs.

    It expected to take some years to find a warehouse site and retail store locations across SA.

    The company said it would work with the SA Government to help find appropriate sites.

    Independent Senator Nick Xenophon questioned whether SA shoppers would benefit.

    "The collateral damage will be felt by the smaller independents," he said.

    "If you squeeze out and hurt the smaller independents that's ultimately bad for the community, bad for consumer choice."

    The Independent Supermarket Retailers Guild said smaller stores in SA would remain competitive.

    Colin Shearing from the Guild said, unlike ---- which imports many groceries, independent supermarkets supported local products.

    "At the end of the day we have distribution channels that are a little bit different, where we can actually tap into local produce and local suppliers, so we have that opportunity," he said.
    The unnamed grocery store get ther groceries & produce from local suppliers & manufactures. Electrical & other supplies mainly come from Europe as Australia does not manfacture the products.

    Ok, couple of things need to be said here...

    Firstly, if anyone can get a couple of those models, drop me a line... PLEASE

    Secondly, Digger, from one bloke to another, from one father to another, from one Landy lover to another......

    Next time you are forced to attend Ikea against your own free will, let me know. Under sufferance, I will attend, and show you the "secret blokes short-cuts"

    Built into every Ikea store, are a series of short-cuts, back alleys, and secret paths that are invisible to women, thus can only be seen by men.

    Actually thinking of setting up a service for like-minded guys. $5 per tip sounds fair to me...

    Okay, but only if you supply emergency rations.
    At any given point in time, somewhere in the world someone is working on a Land-Rover.

    So far my solution to the Ikea problem is I find a fellow 'hostage" male and I then 'stage' a fight with them, staff attend promptly and drag us both out of the store the shortest way possible.

    Thank my co conspirator and look for the nearest spot to celebrate my freedom (theres a pun there) with a beer!
