Jason - get your shed organised that will keep you busy. I got a mate who works for Bowens timber (not sure if you have them up there?) He is always bringing home wood that would be ideal for shelving in a shed. Ask them if they got some wood "out the back" amazing what he comes home with - trim it up a bit and Bob's your uncle.. (You know, water damaged, a bit split or warped )
When that is done there are a few good Land Rover models around. There is a 101 GS that is only a few bucks and the tamiya "pink panther" that is a good one too. Have a look on ebay - they usually sell for about 10 - 20 bucks.

Yeah i have seen them on fleebay.
I usualy get my timber from Wes Hughs timber & hardware i used to work there in the mill on all the machines ,but i spent most of my time on the BIG bandsaw...I still get the staff discount...

Hi Banjo, with all this discussion here on planes, should not this thread be in the aviation section; ha, ha.

At Murwilumbah airport is a couple of guys wh have the plans, and make relpica Bi-planes--tiger moths, gypsymoths, etc., and sell these world wide.

Don't realy know what a tigermoth or a Gypsymoth is..But we got realy big BOGONG Moths down here ,Big buggas they are some of them you would need both hands to catch them....

A Tigermoth is a single engine biplane that was used as a trainer for the Air Force in the 1930's and early 40's. You occasionally hear them flying over doing about 120 k's an hour, so they are not very fast and they have a large following of enthusiasts who like to restore/rebuild and fly them, I believe Luskintye has the largest rebuild facilities in Australia for Tigermoths!!
