samhobbs Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 (edited) Hello, I'm Sam, I'm 15 years old and, I started modelling again about a year ago, after a 6-7 break. I enjoy modelling Second World War Era aircraft mainly but do enjoy building the odd armour kit from time to time. I purchased my first airbrush about 7 months ago, and so far really enjoying it. At the moment I seem to end up buying large kits usually 1/32, despite not having adequate space to store them. As a young kid, I built many Airfix starter kits, which I would knock out in a few hours at weekends, but since about September last year, 2016, I have started modelling more seriously, and devoting much of my free time to completing kits. I hope to start posting on here soon, as I have just received a bunch of new kits for my birthday, which was today, August 1st. I also have an Instagram account devoted to my scale modelling, called scalemodellinguk, for anyone who has Instagram here.

Mike Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 aboard Sam - most us never worry about how much space it takes to store our models until after. Start young! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyTiger66 Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Welcome Sam and !! I hope you got some great things and had a good day. Take the numbers of your age, swap them around and you have my age The years between go very quickly! Once struck by the model making bug it's always there as a great hobby, even as you've found, if we take a big break from it now and then. Looking forward to seeing some of your models and/or builds TonyT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CedB Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Welcome Sam and happy birthday! I've had a quick look at your Instagram and wow! A motorised B-17, great job! Most people shy away from the kit, let alone fitting motors... and the finish looks very good too. Looking forward to seeing more of your work on here - happy modelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorby Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Happy belated birthday Sam, and welcome to BM. Just had a look at your stuff on Instagram and wow! Your not only a good modeller (your Revel 1/32 Me 262 is excellent), but you have also got a good imagination – that B-17 encountering a Bf 109 is amazing. Looking forward to seeing more of your builds on here. You seem to have the talent and youth to end up becoming a first class modeller.
