Vapouriser Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 (edited) Morning all, hot off the heels of going to see Top Gun 2 last night I finally thought I ought to make my first post. I do look forward to spending sometime on the forum and hopefully learning, improving my craft and getting to know people !! Have a great day and if anyone is doubting whether it’s worth booking a ticket to see Mr Cruise Pretending he’s still 25 - stop. It’s bloody marvellous 🤩 Edited June 14, 2022 by Vapouriser Spelling!

Mark Harmsworth Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 Hello and welcome (I seem to think that's a catch phrase but can't quite place it). Anyway - greetings from another inhabitant of E. Sussex. I'm sure you'll enjoy being a member here. Do you have any specific interests? all the best Mark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vapouriser Posted May 26, 2022 Author Share Posted May 26, 2022 Thanks guys - reference specifics, I’m back to the hobby as a mature student after a brief 30 year hiatus … having an 8 year old son and lockdown did it !! I like 1:72 air - but midway through a Tamiya 1:48 F15 right now and really enjoying the size so far. Recently acquired an air brush, and that has equally delighted and confused me! Hoping to learn lots here 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crowborough, East Sussex - about 10 miles south of where I was raised and went to school in ‘Royal’ Tunbridge Wells no less ! Used to go to a Hastings a lot as a young teen - the arcades were a big draw. Straight on the train, no changes in an hour and the likes of Outrun, Mortal Combat, Rolling Thunder and Double Dragon were there with their flashing lights and amazing sounds - I loved Hastings !

I know Crowborough - not very well, but I remember it being a nice place. Tunbridge Wells, too. Oh yeah, the arcades! The sound of summers on the seafront. Crikey, that takes me back 🙂.

When I was Tunbridge Wells based it was always most straightforward to get the train straight to Hastings, now from Crowborough it’s easier (and quicker) to drive to Eastbourne or our favourite beach at Pevencey Bay - which in fact is where we are going today, first time to the beach this year and the British weather actually looks like it’s going to be OK 👌!!

Costa del Pev as we affectionately call her is quiet, easy to park - has a nicely cleaned and maintained toilet and a convenience store just round the corner that sells reasonably priced ice creams Im sure however the Witterings are a wonderful place to visit off peak (we last went in August 😬) In fact the last time we went, we saw a pilot come over and do the most wonderful little aerobatic display -and seemingly just fit the hell of it. I don’t know the technical term for when it looks like the plane has stalled and is falling uncontrollably out of the sky - but they did this several times, along with loops and barrel rolls - it was fantastic !
