Well described Saabs, your meri reminded me of the arse gras seated in rear of the 206 during the Omkalai incident. They were unable to physically do up there seat belts before departing GKA but somehow freed themselves, opened the rear door of the 206(tricky) and fled out of sight before the gyros had stopped spinning

I right clicked and saved her when I saw her a few weeks ago!
 
I've gotten into all the trouble I need for one lifetime...(but it doesnt stop me lusting).
If you want to take 1:1 female modeling as a pastime I am sure you can customise one of those playmate dolls..
all you need is a few tins of slightly darkened skin tone paint, bit of straw (mind you this could prove irritating between the sheets), need to find a way to mold new larger areolae.
glad to help in you modelling endeavours

If I remember correctly, that was Miss PNG around 25 to 30 years ago.

At close to 50 and no doubt, a number of kids, the thought is far less appealing now than it may have been back then!

Depending on the amount of detail required it will prolly cost a bit more than 2 Kina ;)

cost a bit more than 2 Kina
Guess they would now!:E They were 2 Kina way back in the early 90s, so I was told.

Beheading, murder at PNG school fete

Police are hunting a notorious criminal after violence at a school fete in Papua New Guinea left eight people dead and a severed head hanging from a power pole, reports Radio Australia

PORT MORESBY, PNG ---- Police are hunting a notorious criminal after violence at a school fete in Papua New Guinea left eight people dead and a severed head hanging from a power pole, reports Radio Australia.

Local media reports an armed gang attacked villagers at the school fete in Kainantu district last Friday.

The gang's leader has been identified as Patrick Sira, who's wanted by police over a string of murders, rapes and robberies.

Mr Sira reportedly interrupted a speech by a local magistrate at the fete, produced a gun and shot him dead.

While some people ran for cover others retaliated and killed three gang members.

One was beheaded and the head hung on a power pole. Another was killed the next day.

Mr Sira may have been shot in the leg but was able to escape into the bush.
I guess school fetes in Australia are pretty boring by comparison.

Tinpis's 1:1 Modelling Project
 
http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y15.../pnggirl-1.jpg
Having been engaged by Tinpis to make a 1:1 model of the above, I have prepared a few materials for the conversion of a standard playmate doll.
I have sourced replacemement areola which with a bit of airbrushing will come up nicely:

Now with any scale modelling you need excellent reference material to "get it right", for instance with my F-27 project I need top and bottom views to get the scheme and registration details correct.
This project is no different, so if anyone can provide us with photos of the hidden details of this subject, from as many angles as possible, tinpis and I would be most grateful...

cac sabre; At some previous time I may have been able to assist you in your endeavour, as I once had in my posession a calendar issued by an organisation in Port Moresby which featured all the contestants for Miss PNG for one year.:ok: From memory it was the year that Mabel Daure won the competition, by a default if I remember correctly.
I knew Mabel from a brief period working for MBA and she was one of the loveliest PNG ladies I ever met!:ok:

But regrettably, some filthy swine (said in my best Goon show voice) stole the aforesaid calendar from me some time ago!:mad::mad:

Well, it disappeared around the time that Mrs Pinky and I moved house.:confused:

cac_sabre 2nd Oct 2009 14:33

What a scoundrel...you cant trust anyone..even missus pinky?
 
Calendar scan woulda been nice but what I really want is those bloody elusive PX F-27 pics.

Vale Scotty Adam

I knew Scotty from Mt Hagen and TAL in the 70's
He crammed at least two lives into one in those days running his trade Store with Martin Tyler, tending to the Yellow Submarine, bon vivant in the Kagamuga -Hagen mode, and sometimes carded for 8 rounds horizontal welterweight at the Hagen Club.

I suspect he had a heart of gold

Condolences to Pat and family.

Sorry that I can't help with modelling PX F27s or Miss PNG but I'm sure you've all noticed that Pixie is introducing its own FF program. Does this mark the end of a long association with the red rat? :eek:

Ok there is a pic of the F-27 topside.. I just need a shot of the starboard wing / rego markings.. someone must have a full copy of this shot?

Torres 6th Oct 2009 09:04


you Talair blokes never looked this swish!
But do you realise that after that photo was taken, John did wear a Talair uniform for some time?

God, I'd forgotten those Talair adverts - and the problems they caused in PX management! I did a deal with the PX Advertising Manager (whose name alludes me) and the first time PX management found out Talair was advertising in their in flight magazine, was when they opened their magazine. Didn't do anything for the relationship between Der Fuhrer at PX and Talair management! :} :}

Obviously Wally was flying the Twin Otter that day........ Looks like Blackjack back on but if I recall correctly, it was the local priest. :)

tinpis 6th Oct 2009 19:55

Who is the open shirt dude igat planti gras bilong em?
Seems familiar

Torres 6th Oct 2009 20:46

The guy chatting with Wally was the Talair Agent but I can't remember his name. I have a feeling that at one time he was a Member of the House of Assembly?
