Bonjour tout le monde

Hi guys - I've had a couple of Heng Longs for a while now, but now my son is old enough to play with 'em, I'm going to have to reacquaint myself with the guts of them, as I think he's already taken some teeth off the turret mechanism of my King Tiger, and is mithering me to resurrect my Jagdpanther too. Time to get the precision screw-drivers & wallet out again, I guess? o-

Yes mate- it is !
As a Kiwi, I am curious as to your screen name ;)
We New Zealanders tend to be more, um, 'affectionate'; towards the ruminant quadripeds known as sheep :{

Ok, that enough sheep-jokes.................

Welcome along & show us how you get ahead on your builds.

Cheers

It's a worrying thing, but the name was a random thing that just popped out of my psyche. Gulp 8O

I'm in the UK, although dangerously close to that there Wales.

Hi SheepStrangler
No sheep jokes, just a warm welcome to the forum.
But if you have any photos you want to share us. :thumbup:

Hi, and welcome SS! Presumably (and based on a nudge.. nudge.. wink.. wink.. example of stereotyping)..if you were across the border in Wales, you'd probably be known as 'SheepSh**ger' :D Incidentally,
I've always been slightly bemused that our Welsh cousins were so proud of being 'welsh', as that's from anglo-saxon term 'wealas', or 'foreigners'....cf. with German 'kauderwelsch. meaning 'double dutch' (foreign in that sense). Looking forward to some posts and pics, but not of terminated woolly ungulates :shifty:

:haha: Curious you should mention that, as I was born in Wales due to some weird rules in my home town at the time, so if I was any good at sport, I could have played for them. Fortunately for Wales, I wasn't :)
