Hello All!

[Guest]

Hi Kev near missed this one.

What a history there & it could have been mine. 50 years to the day in architecture. 43 in Jersey where I live.

Which part of the British Isles do you come from ?

I hope with your background we all may soon see dioramas which are my soft spot. Architecture gives a good
grounding for scale modelling. Imagination artistic work.

Look forward to seeing your work in time. Not sure how much you have doen but keep the questions coming.
20 years modelling & I flash questions all the time. Get so many varied anwers most you would not thought of.

I dare give an incite into this diorama thing which has become a passion. Taking liberties but trying , with your
background, to get you on diorama. You always have something to aim at. apologies for liberties taken.

Welcome aboard Kev, you'll find that even the experienced can't even tell what's an SBS. :tears-of-joy: We learn everyday, eat humble pie and enjoy new findings. You've found the best place...just like Hotel California...you can check out anytime but you can never leave. Enjoy your stay. :smiling4:

Cheers,

Hi Kev
Welcome to the forum.

HI All,

Thanks so much for the kind words and warm welcome! Very much appreciated!

I am recently relocated from the Scottish central belt (Stirling) to rural Aberdeenshire in the north east due to securing my first permanent technical teaching role at a high school in the area.

Panther kit is arriving today however we have friends over this evening for the weekend so likely not Sunday till I can get the box open and make a start.... I also bought myself a craft knife and some super glue (when I say I am starting from scratch ..... I really mean it! LOL!!)

Thanks again for the really warm welcome and I will be sure to get back to those who have asked questions in the posts above......

Until then, I have managed to pick and find some images of my previous works to have a wee peek at..... the are all very much "fantasy" based and all the pieces here were all completely scratch built.

Going to go down the road of "proper" historical vehicles this time round but thought I would add some here anyways......

Cheers & Have a great weekend,

Kev

Kev,
with those under your belt, I don't think you'll have any problems with the Tammy Panther, although, I would suggest a slightly more forgiving adhesive, say Revell Contacta, or Tamiya Extra Thin, rather than superglue.........

Exactly what Dave says, a proper poly glue would be better for plastic to plastic gluing.

Wow Kev you may not have the gear but you have the craft, expertise & imagination.

Can expect, looking at your work, some dioramas ??? :tongue-out: Yes.

Every time I switch my PC on in the morning, Chris, I pray. Mine 2nd hand 12 years ago so treading on eggshells.
Rather like the body really.

Apologies Kev for crashing in.

Hello Kev, you've found a haven of expertise here, I've learnt an awful lot and my modelling ability is coming along nicely, every genre of kit has been built here and if you need an answer the search function won't let you down, even if it did your question to the forum will be met with a quick response!

I've a soft spot for armour so looking forward to that build of yours.

Del.
