How do you do !

I don't know how much information I should give, so here goes: I'm French, retired and living in Hong-Kong since the mid-90s with my wife and daughter.
I haven't built a kit in... a long time, so I'm pretty much starting from scratch again. I do not have pictures of my old models to post sorry. I just built a Spitfire from Eduard a few years ago but it looked awful so I'd rather not humiliate myself by posting pictures :tears-of-joy: .

In particular I have close to no experience with PE parts and hairbrushing, you'll likely see questions from me in these 2 areas. Amongst others.

I have the following kits at home to be built:

1) 1/350 USS Birmingham from Very Fire. With PE parts from Blue Ridge. Present from my wife and daughter for my birthday this year.
2) 1/125 U-47 with interior from Revell. No PE parts. Present from my sister a few years ago. I'm a huge fan of submarines, hence the kit.
3) 1/48 Voyager space probe from Hasegawa. With PE parts from Eduard. Present to myself lol a few years ago. I also love space exploration.

I have started the hull of the USS Birmingham and while I'm waiting for some supplies to come in for this kit, I'm thinking of doing the Voyager kit to get me going on PE parts and hairburshing.

I think that's about it.

- Jean.

Jean,
welcome to the forum. You'll find lots of like minded people here, don't worry about not being able to show pics of your earlier builds - I'm certain that all of us have models that weren't photographed ( whatever the reason! ). I'm partial to warships, but I don't stick with one genre - I hop around...............

welcome


that voyager is one ive never seen before

Thanks for the welcome fellas !

I post a picture of the Voyager kit, as well as the corresponding PE parts from Eduard. The kit itself looks very simple even by my standard, let's see about the PE parts.
