Thanks for the lovely welcome, everyone, near and far. It does seem like a friendly place. I've seen Rabbit Leader's post and I'm following his build for tips. I've enjoyed a little Mendip caving, Jon. Stayed at the Cerberus hut, did a bit of free diving in Swildons Hole and a memorable (up to a point) several pints of Butcombe in the Hunter's. Happy daze!

How do? I'm a very recent returner to the world of model making from West Yorkshire, UK. Now a parent, I remember my dad making models with me/while I watched, and thought it about time I inflicted similar pleasures on my kids. Things seem to have come a long way since the Airfix kits of the late '70s that I remember flinging together and ham-fistedly distressing. I'm looking forward to trying some more careful assembly and subtle weathering on the 1:72 Airfix Bristol Beaufort I've just started. Very much here for the tips, inspiration and huge skill and historic subject knowledge I've already noted. When not dadding I'm a keen outdoorser, enjoying climbing, caving, cycling and hill-walking though these days the knees let me know if Ive enjoyed myself too much. Thanks for having me.
