...or to those from outside the UK, a large town 50-ish miles north of London called Milton Keynes.
Firstly apologies for not saying hello before submitting some of my posts yesterday but life got in the way.
I was invited over here by Si Benson after we 'met' on another forum that has recently pretty much died. I've also seen a couple of other names I know: Wouter and some madman called Bob who is obsessed by Stugs!!
My modelling bio goes something like this:
I'll post some pics over the next few days, once I've had a play and worked out how to add them

My modelling bio goes something like this:
- Did a variety of planes, tanks, ships etc. in my youth, mainly for small volume war-gaming purposes and to a very average standard or fairly poor in most cases!
- Didn't then touch a kit for 25+years. Got married and had kids.
- 5 years ago my then six year old son decided he wanted a model kit and the rest is history - not to mention a lot of expense and filled up cupboards as my wife has pointed out more than once.........
- My son and I exclusively do 1/72, WW2 and normally quick-build kits for our little table-top battles.
- We've recently started working on home made scenery too but are still in the early stages.
- My daughter even helps out sometimes, with tarpaulins being her specialty.
- Whilst I have come back to the hobby in a much bigger way than I ever did it in my youth and want to improve my skills - even going so far as to buy a compressor and one of the new-fangled airbrush thingies!! - for me it's currently about have some fun and quality time with my kids and hopefully making some reasonably decent kits in the process!
