That's the glory of this forum Peter. We don't judge abilities here. We'll give positive and constructive critique (when asked for) and hopefully give you a laugh along the way. I am by no means a decent model maker. But it's the fun of making them and having banter on the forum whilst i do.
One hundred percent agree with this. All you will get is advice, encouragement and support when posting on here Peter. I’ve never seen adverse criticism and don’t think I ever will.
Oh, and Alan is selling himself short. He is more than decent as a model maker :thumb2:

Alan and Tim are right. Post your photos. I can guarantee that the response will be helpful, polite and supportive.

Excuse our Steve,(Airborne 1), there Peter...
... He spent too long in Portsmouth,(that place effects everyone that way!!). ;)
Ouch! That's harsh - I lived down the road in civilised Poole and Plymouth. up country in Salisbury (and beyond) - right up to enclaves in Jockland and the land of the Shamrock - even foreign lands like Suffolk and Daffyd! I'm a well-rounded xenophobe I think! And ... I can spell Smythe in several permutations - ! So there sweet cheeks!! :cool:

.. Not harsh at all Steve ..
Didn't mean anything by it ;)
.. Just Plymouth, Pompey rivalry mate... Nothing meant :smiling3:
... When you're from Plymouth and did your apprenticeship in the yard,and went to Argyle for the footy, you get kinda tribal!! ;)
During my time,I lived all over too,and pleased I did if I'm honest :smiling3: .. So easy to get sucked into the "Stay at home" mindset as a kid...
... Seen too many of my "School Friends" who never have left the Town... that seem happy... But SO dull?!! :sad:

Not for once did I think any slight was intended, or taken, Andy. We've both lived in a Service environment - and what's more we've absorbed that quirky sense of (perverse) humour that comes with the experience! I really enjoy the banter on this forum, I'd love to meet up for a beer (or two) sometime (and include some other like minded persons)- now, that would be a craic!

The Citadel,in the Summer sounds good to me ...

Evenin' all. I am English but living in France. I did a lot of car models when I was younger - about 40 odd years ago - and have got back into it seriously again in the last year or so. A lot has changed! mostly for the better of course.
Apologies for the late welcome been stressing over my Yamato :smiling3:
I lived in France for about 8 years about an hour from Limoges a place called Cheronnac (87)
