Hello

[Harris Shoerats]

I'm still trying to master the dark arts of scale model building. I thought it about time to join a like minded group, it's a mine field on your own.

Welcome Russell. Where lays you interest, wheel, wings or rudders?
We have a great mix of wizards, warlo ks and waterbenders in here.

Welcome to the best forum around, Russell.

Totally agree. The forum is the ideal place to share the hobby. To ask questions, to be inspired, to show your successes and failures and to support fellow modellers. And join in the banter

Welcome to the club Russel. Yeah, it is a minefield. No more a case of glueing one part to another - job done. Glue has changed, paint has changed, brushes have changed to mini spray guns.

But it's grand getting to grips with it. I'm only on my third kit since I was in my teens I'm well beyond retirement now. You've found probably the Carlsberg of the modelling world. Loads of friendly advice, loads of help and even more encouragement. Dive in Russel, the waters nice and warm.

Once again, a welcome to the forum from me! Good to see you! (and not everybody uses spray guns/air brushes!)
Steve

Welcome Russell, a great group of folk on here always ready to help

Russell,
If you want a club/forum where you are brought through a build of "I stuck this bit to that bit and then stuck those bits to this bit which once removed from the sprue was stuck to this bit and you have to be sure that all the bits in this 1000 part kit were all stuck together in half an hour, just so that I could demonstrate that I built the latest all singing, all dancing kit first and without reading the instructions once...."
Then this is not that place, here we stroll along at a gentlemanly pace, where we savour the item we are building to the sweet aroma of curing superglue......
What a load of rubbish - who wrote this - this is not in my contract - I demand to see the director....
Welcome Russell, the matron has just arrived with the fire bucket and rough sponge for my bed bath.....
Mike.

Hi, I really don't know what I prefer. Growing up in the Cold War era, I lived near RAF Upper Heyford so I have a soft spot for the F111 Aardvark and Phantoms. The beautiful clean lines of the Ford GT Mustang are also attractive to me, which I'm trying to build at the moment.

 

[Geoffers]

Hello Russell and welcome from me too

I’m already envious, living near Upper Heyford sounds like heaven

Geoff.

 

[Andy the Sheep]

Hello Russel and a warm welcome from here too!

 

[Tworrs]

[Mini Me]
