Bear Hobbies Online Shop Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Hello Friends I just say thank you to Mike and his team for allowing me to join the Britmodeller forums ! You will find me mostly in the Vendor part of the site ! But I just take this opportunity to say hello to everyone and introduce myself. My name is Mark, I worked many years overseas in the Oil and Gas Industry - I have recently returned to Sandhurst in Berkshire. I am keen (no fanatic level) scale modeler. I was a "returnee to boyhood hobby" about 10 years ago. I have nearly built all genres - Sci-Fi, Figures, Diorama, Cars, Aircraft and ARMOUR... yes in reality If I need to call out the one I love and live for - it is really tanks and afv models - in 1/35 ! AND if you were to ask in particular which AFVs .. I have done nearly all historical contexts.. WW2 etc.. but now I really settle on Modern armour. I have visited a lot of the shows over the years, not been to Telford for a while - but mainly have been going to the big European shows - Moson, SMC in Holland etc. I have just recently been able to return to my old club IPMS Farnborough... I really have a lot of friends and colleagues in the Model community - and hope to have many more here ! I have been lucky enough to be published in Magazines over the last 7 years - Air Modeller, Military Modelling, MMI, SMMI, Migs "The Weathering Magazine" and also Abrams Squad - Abrams Squad is run by Pere who is one of my best amigos ! I have been copy editing for him for about 2 years - basically taking articles and translating them into the English version of the magazine. It is very interesting work ! https://www.plaeditions.com/es/pla-editions-books/227-abrams-squad-11-english.html OK - so most recently - We started Bear Hobbies. The first outlet is ebay shop which opened January Ebay link removed - no ebay links allowed on BM. and the main outlet (more stock and much better prices)..opened only 3 weeks ago ! https://bearhobbies.com/ I will talk more about them in the Vendors introduction! But the main reason to start a Hobby Shop was to provide the kits that I have enjoyed building at a really good price for fellow modellers - to have fun - and to learn ! We are very small company operating out of Sandhurst but we are expanding stock and suppliers to more "hard to find" items very soon ! I really wont have much time to comment on all the wonderful builds you guys are doing ! I have been lurking here many years ! However, I am really here to help and try to answer any questions if I can - in particular about the paints and weathering products that we stock "Ammo of Mig". To this extent I am trying to create a youtube model channel demonstrating model builds and techniques. all the best and happy modelling ! from Mark 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
