Hi All
As with so many others (I've been reading the introductions :smiling4: ) I have decided to have another go at modelling, must be at least 50 years since I last ruined some plastic kit or other. I'm now nearly 66 and have started to free up time in order to allow me to do new things and to repeat past mistakes :disappointed:.
I have a particular project in mind (probably more than one) based on my Father's time spent in Russia. My father graduated in 1941 as a Leutnant from his Panzer training school and was posted to Russia as part of operation Barbarossa. Sufficient to say he survived the war and ended up as a POW in a camp at Friday Bridge in Cambridgeshire just outside Wisbech.
He fought in and with many armoured vehicles, Panzer 11, 111 and 1v, Tigers and the later Panthers but his favourite/preferred AV was the Stug model 111. So based on all of that I'm interested in building some dioramas based on those vehicles along with some Russian armour all based on some of the stories that he told me as a kid growing up.
Any help and knowledge that I can get from here would be great. Lots of really nice work on here by the way.
I forgot to say that my name is Tim and I live down in Devon, on Dartmoor. Thanks in advance for any help given.
