Excuse my ignorance @DinkumDog @south of heaven but do you put the planes together - as in a crafts type of thing - or purchase replicas for display? An expensive hobby?

No ignorance mate.
I have built a couple but most of my collection are gifts from clients so I can’t take credit .

Some are solid diecast, some plastics snap fit ( putting wings engines on and landing gear ect) the pictures I've shown are all pretty much assembled, I do do molding kits where everything is put together by hand and painted yourself, I'm still working on my airbrushing before I'm game enough to post a finished product.

Also price ,can be absolutely stupid expensive for diecast planes high end 747 can be around $300 ,I hunt around ebay gumtree ect for bargains, you can also grab a pretty detailed resin and plastic 747 for under $50 which 99% including me of people wouldn't know the difference in a nice display case,
I stick with my Qantas is expensive high end stuff but other carriers ill bulk up with cheapies,
I'm still learning the ins and outs myself and by no means am I an expert

Thanks for the info fellas.
Sounds like a lot of work but very rewarding and a great hobby!
Lots of patience and steady hands I'd imagine.

Here's a 109 I've been mucking round on a few undercoats

Whatever you can fuck up in modelling I've fucked it up,some shit these professionals do is insane. You get some parts that are never seen in a cockpit 1mm big and people detail it im not that committed

Mardi gra week would of made a killing ,I don't think I'd would of liked the inflight cocktails though

True story, Air NZ used to run a ‘pink flight’ from SFO to SYD every year for Mardi Gras. They had an inflight disco / fashion show and the entertainment system had ‘themed’ music and movies and the crew dressed up too. Was sold out every year months before. Huge boost to the NSW economy. Disclaimer: no I did not go on it (not that there’s anything wrong with that), just knew about it through people in the biz .

No. You stumped me. I had to google him. Train simulators are not my thing.

When I go on live radio, the topic has been pre-arranged, but I get questions from listeners about anything rail related, without notice - so far I haven't been stumped; but the day will come.

We used to hire out steam loco 3801 to the organisers of the Mardi Gras. We ran a return trip to Kiama the day after the parade. They were still partying from the previous night, but were good clients - did their own catering, and cleaned up after themselves. They have a lot of rich people in their ranks.
