Discovered this forum after purchasing stuff from the shop and have been lurking for a while, but feel I should really get around to introducing myself. After a few score decades,(read teens) away from the hobby I starting back to modelling in 2021 as a way of relaxing/keeping busy during the winter months when I was unable to enjoy my motorcycle due to the crap weather. My wife bought me a model 1/48 Tamiya Churchill crocodile as a Christmas present. Since then I have never looked back and with each model build I have gradually learned new skills.
How things have changed since my boyhood, back then for me it was paint brushes, an old nail file, a sharp penknife, and the screwdriver bit to open the Humbrol and Airfix paints and a 0.7mm pentel pencil for drawing camouflage lines as well as the obligatory get high poly glue.
Mainly do 1/35 armour(Tamiya) and a couple of 1/72 aircraft at present, but have an increasing stash of 1/48 aircraft and other manufacturers armour waiting in the wings for a dedicated workstation in an up coming house move.
