  1. Thanks for the warm welcome, just got to figure out the photo uploading now.
  2. Hi to you all I have been lurking around for a couple of years and have finally summed up the courage to join in. I have been modelling since my early years but only sporadically due to life and too many interests. I definitely remember building some Airfix ships when I was young but not sure what else. I graduated to building motorcycles in my late teens and then a bit later moved onto vintage cars. The Falklands war kicked off an interest in military and a visit to an airshow at Brize Norton started me off with V Bombers, which has become a bit of an obsession. As I worked as a commercial vehicle fitter I also started building trucks. After quite a gap due to the acquisition of a SWMBO I started again on vintage cars. This was due to the acquisition of a Bandai Bugatti Royale on Ebay. Unfortunately life took over as my lad got into Warhammer so it was building 40k models for a while. Since he grew up I have gone back to cars. I get very little time probably only two or three hours a week so progress is slow. I am a serial starter but not finisher so have many on shelf/loft of doom. Even after all these years I am still rubbish at it. I have learnt loads from this site so thanks to all. I have always brush painted but after finding paints don’t seem to be as good as they were and some colours impossible have graduated to rattle cans which always have to be done outside. The models I have finished look OK on a shelf but not close up which I am happy at the moment but I am always hoping to improve every time. Cars and trucks seen easier but I am yet to build a decent looking plane. I have managed to find a space to work in my sons old bedroom but as everything has to be packed away every time it limits the amount I can do. Hopefully as semi-retirement is looming, more time will arrive. I could go on but that is enough of my waffle, I look forward to drooling over all your models (sorry I mean the pictures) and being able to comment.
