Black Country Mon Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 Hello I returned to modelling just before the pandemic started. My wife wanted me to get back into a hobby I enjoyed as a lad. My first attempt probably not the wisest choice the Revell London bus. As I hadn't made a model for some 50 years this came more of a challenge than a pleasure. I stuck at it and eventually finished the kit. My next attempt Revell Spitfire this was a better attempt. Then a Lancaster. Then various trucks and galleons I am now back into the hobby I loved as a boy. Having taken early retirement this year due to a health scare, will have more time to enjoy my hobby more. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bandsaw Steve Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 Welcome aboard. I have never built that Revel double-decker but there was one here at our local model show / comp and it looked stunning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Country Mon Posted November 23, 2022 Author Share Posted November 23, 2022 It looks good when built. I have brought another one to build to compare and see if my model making skills have improved in the last few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 Hello BCM … from across the pond in Chicago USA. I’m medically retired (Disabled) myself, so If you need any tips or help say hello. I mostly build military aircraft myself but do venture out into armor or sci-fi as a break.
