Hi All
This is my first post on the forum but have been keenly reading everyone's builds for ages. Last year I reached out to Liam Mahoney as I saw that he was in the same state as me (Queensland Australia), we chatted back and forth and when he said that he was having a drive day (Dec 23) I was keen and drove down (only 1000ks each way

). I met some great people and picked up a boxed 2014 Mid Tiger1. It took about 5 minuets for me to get a call from my wife thinking our bank account had been hacked, so I told her what I had bought, and got a stern "we'll talk about this when you get home"

. So, I am officially part of the Armortek family. I wanted a dedicated room to build in so every time I closed the door everything would be as I left it. I've finally finished my room and started my build. I am not a modeler, just a heavy diesel mechanic who loves to build and make things. It may sound silly, but I have read so many threads I feel as I know many of you. I will be relying on everyone's experiences - successes and failures to help me through this exciting time. Seriously, unboxing this was like Christmas as a kid!!
