johnteddy Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 I,ve just joined with my 11 year old son Ted. Been restoring and painting subbuteo figures past 12 months, ( too tight to pay the big money for rarer teams). We've both just started our first Airfix Model.(1/72 spitfire starter kit) Looking forward to doing some more and will probably need a lot of advice as we progress. First time with acrylics infact new to the whole process. Im 55 and Teds 11. Cheers all, have a great Day, John . 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullbasket Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 Welcome aboard John (and Ted). Ask away with any questions that you may have. Have a look around the site before you do so that you ask in the right section. There are plenty on here who will help with whatever you need to know. But above all, have fun. Both of you. John. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArnoldAmbrose Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 Gidday John and Ted, welcome aboard from West Oz. I think my son was 10 or 11 when we built our first model together, P-40 Kittihawk if I recall. That was about 20 years ago. I'm into ships now but there's a great many here doing aircraft, collectively have a wealth of knowledge and are very free with advice. Regards, Jeff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BluesModeller Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 Welcome aboard John and Ted! Nice little kit to start on, I have a couple in my stash.

Thanks for the welcome... Been a keen guitarist for many years but cant really find the time or space at home at the moment. (not a gigging guitarist). A wardrobe contains my amps and pedals etc at the moment unfortunately. Cheers John. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valleyforge Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Hi and welcome along. I hope you and the lad enjoy your time here. Subbuteo, that brings back memoirs of the child hood. I had a bash at collecting all the world cup teams at one time. I am mostly into WW 2 1/72 aircraft. I am learning new ways in the art of using any airbrush and using different things to put through it. Hope you and Ted have a great time on the site.
