Andrew Patmore Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 Hi, I am a very part time modeller with it being my second hobby, though used to model a lot and still have a lot of my old paints, etc. I am self confessed old school and have not moved onto an airbrush, still using brushes. Also dabbled with acrylics but prefer enamels. Maybe I could be convinced. Andrew 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArnoldAmbrose Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 Gidday @Andrew Patmore, welcome aboard. It's enamels smeared on the the hairy stick for me too. In my case it's mainly 1/600 scale ships. What about you? 🙂 Regards, Jeff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Patmore Posted November 2, 2022 Author Share Posted November 2, 2022 Gidday Arnold, In the past yes. I probably went through half of Airfix’s 1/600 range at one time, some of them even floated in the bath. If I did that now the wife would add it to the list for the divorce. Aeroplanes are my main interest, mostly 1/72, though I have done a couple of 1/48 which are more forgiving in some ways and I will do some more. Also done the odd tank, figures, Apollo spaceship etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Patmore Posted November 9, 2022 Author Share Posted November 9, 2022 Thank you Neddy. That’s a good question, Mark. When I first looked at this forum, I picked up from somewhere that it started in Czechoslovakia. Now I can find absolutely no connection with eastern Europe at all. Doh! Was it even this site? What a plonker. That is actually a good idea for an avatar. Should it be a picture of ‘Plonker’ Rodney, or ‘Stupid Boy’ Pike. Another thought. Shrek. As in ‘I should have Czech myself before Shrek myself’. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Harmsworth Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 Oh. That explains it - I thought you were trying for a nautical 'ahoy' but mis-typed. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neddy Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 I was a bit puzzled too. I Czeched everywhere but couldn't find any references either! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Patmore Posted November 14, 2022 Author Share Posted November 14, 2022 Hi Tenacles, I thought "That can't be right". So I had a look at a map of Europe, and you are right. Prague is the smack bang centre of Europe. 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bertie McBoatface Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 Welcome to the gang Andrew, there's plenty of interest her in aeroplanes but don't forget to look in on the Maritime area too - you might find yourself building boats again!
