Ailsa McVicar Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 (edited) Good afternoon, Just thougth I would introduce myself, I'm new to model building and working on my first model, interest in the hobby has come from my partner who has been a model builder for years. I joined the forum as I thought it would be a good place for research and information. So far the projects I want to do, and I have a list of ideas, have been inspired from the movies. My stash also grew this week as I got a couple of new kits for my birthday Anyway, hello to all who happen to see this.

Hopefully we shall see some of you builds in the not too distant future. With regard to to research and information, ask away.

Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 Hello Ailsa... from the windy city of Chicago USA. Those look like nice kits, Ive built the standard (non grand slam) Lancaster from Tamiya but that was 31 years ago. I mostly build WW2 & Cold-war aircraft in the mid scales of 1/72 and 1/48. Added to that the occasional piece of armor or Sci-fi to give me a change of pace. Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope you enjoy the forums Thanks, I wonder if there is anywhere in the forums that gives more info on Dioramas and creating them? Links, books etc? I'm trying to find info and see what I need to make up a diorama box of materials to use etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnT Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Nice to have you on board the bus. And with a bus model too. You will find the folks on here more than willing to help with advice and encouragement. It’s a relaxed atmosphere as long as you don’t start them on the colour of Malta Spitfires joking aside you could not have pulled out a chair and sat down with a better bunch.
