Old Mull Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Hi folks, old newbie. Been building models for over 65 years, started by my dad with Frog Vandiver control line kit and went downhill after that! Interests are quite wide, mostly scratch built, planes, boats, large scale garden railway stuff. On the stocks are two fifty plus year old boats getting refurbished plus scratch 1/24th Macchi M39 floatplane waiting for paint. Now partly retired they might get finished. Anyway, looking forward to getting involved in the forums. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huvut76g7gbbui7 Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Hello and welcome. That Macchi will have to make an appearance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Hello old mull ... to Britmodeller from the USA. Scimatar is correct there is a good sized contingent here that are definitely interwar racer fans. So the Macchi will need to show itself sooner or later.

Old Mull Posted September 9, 2018 Author Share Posted September 9, 2018 Before anyone tells me, I KNOW there is a resin kit for the Macchi, but the cost of it would pay my car insurance for a year! It will appear, but not until I have built a couple of display cases for two 1/72 plank on bulkhead sailing fishing boats. Watch this space ( well, the appropriate place in the forums). Thanks Scimitar and Corsairfoxfouruncle for your welcome. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScalemodelMadnessDan Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Hi old mull, welcome to the forum 👍 wow 65 years of model build, well done! I bet you've built some crazy stuff over the years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Mull Posted October 6, 2018 Author Share Posted October 6, 2018 Dan, just picked this up. Yep, some crazy stuff, most of it out of control, crashed and burnt! Well, the fllying models until I realised what they were costing, before proper RC and ARTF. Been a bit of a butterfly with modelling, mostly planes but boats, static and floating, cars 1/43 and 1/24. Some 54mm napolionic figures. First model? Was a cardboard Viking ship with the old man , I got to paint the shields, at 8 years old. Cheers, Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
