A friend recommended the site and after a brief look I really like the set up. I'm probably going to be regarded as an "oldie" (70 +) I had not built a model since being at school,but with the "lockdown" I decided to pick up a hobby again. I tend to work in 1/35 scale. Ex military. you can probably guess my favourite subjects. Have built a few dios in the last couple of years, Not up to some standards but I think I'm improving, AND I'm enjoying it! Look forward to contibuting something to the group, and getting to know some fellow modellers. Best wishes - Wobbly (Mick)

Mick,
oldie? nah - just well matured! So - 1/35 Military - what era? You'll find someone on here with similar interests, and you can pick up all sorts of useful information and tips - and vice versa!. Just dive in & ask questions - if one person doesn't know the answer, then someone else will - or know where to find it!

I suspected you were a sherbet forester - call it intuition! Para for a while; mixing with refined, cultured people made me realise there was a different world outside the cement factory so re-badged a couple of times and eventually finished up in Int - 24 mis-spent years but a life-time ago now!

Well wobbly, if you are a Sherwood forester you have a lot to live up to….not only did they produce and publish the Wipers Times, they ran a pub while they were in the front line during WW1 :thumb2:

Welcome to the madhouse Mick,
you couldn't meet a more lovely bunch of guys in here,

just watch out for Matron, she's known to single out new members for her obligatory 'strip search',... she's always looking for contraband you see... oh and don't give anything flammable to our resident pyromaniac 'Comrade john Race', he'll have the place on fire quicker than you can say Russian Green..lol
