Hello all

Post by Canuckmodeller »

Greetings from Canada Toronto specifically. I'm finding myself with a lot of time on my hands recently so I thought I would pick up the hobby again as the last model i built was a Russian hind when I was a young lad. I'm a recovering addict with 8 years of sobriety, and because of the state of the world we find our selves in I'm dealing with a lot of free time and boredom. i have an immense stack of models and I thought I would start with a 67 dodge coronet. looks fairly straight forward and thought it would be a good stepping stone for the more intricate armor models I intend on doing. anyway that's me and i look forward to chatting with you all in good time.

best regards

Adam

P.s love your flory models YouTube channel it has become my go to for advice and entertainment. Cheers

Welcome!
I can totally relate to having more time this year - I've started a YouTube channel myself! 😂

Can't wait to see the Dodge. I'd like to build more American cars myself. 👍

BTW, I've never been to Canada, but I was wearing a Maple Leafs Jersey yesterday! 👍 🍁

I did say flory models sh@#$%@ sorry I think I had a bit of a brain fart ...... I was watching a flory models video review of aks paints as i just purchased their interactive varnishes and was looking for some insight. i did truly mean Paul's channel (international scale modeller). by the way really looking forward to his Honda fireblade build and the volt mustang oh my god what a beautiful paint job and that colour :jd: Again sorry for the mix up i hope i haven't offended anyone. not the first impression i intended on.

Happy modeling everyone

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnny_Canuck

Johnny Canuck is a fictional lumberjack and a national personification[citation needed] of Canada. He first appeared in early political cartoons dating to 1869 where he was portrayed as a younger cousin of the United States' Uncle Sam and Britain's John Bull. Dressed as a habitant, farmer, logger, rancher or soldier, he was characterized as wholesome and simple-minded and was often depicted resisting the bullying of John Bull or Uncle Sam. He appeared regularly in editorial cartoons for 30 years before declining in usage in the early twentieth century.[1]
