Hi Andy, can you see the communications tower on North Hessary Tor ?? if so then I live just to the left of that :smiling4: actually in Princetown near the prison.

[The Smythe Meister]

No,I can't see it from here,but I know exactly where you mean.
Go past that area very often for work
Very nice ..... A bit bleak on a Winter's day mind!

Thank you all for the very warm welcome, I'll do my best not to ruin to many models but as I said in my OP it's been more than 50 years since my airfix days. I have dabbled in other stuff during that time however, learned to fly model helicopters, a mixture of Hirobo, Schluter, Kalt and one or two others whose names escape me. They all had to be rebuilt on numerous occasions, not much glue involved though. I fear that painting will be hard especially weathering. Never mind I'm here to learn.

Regards to all

Tim,
welcome to the forum, there are a lot of returnees to the hobby, a lot has changed over the intervening years - any problems, ask away - we won't bite! ( they might try to set you on fire, though ). Above all enjoy yourself

Welcome Tim! We won't bite unless our dentures are securely fixed!

A warm welcome from me Tim, as you will see I mainly work on dioramas based on Russian armour, set fire to buildings and generally have fun.

Your fathers story must be both interesting and heartbreaking knowing what all those involved went through because of two madmen.

Welcome back to the hobby Tim. Destroying kits you say as a youngster - not to worry some of us older ones can still manage that on a good day.
Bob the Stug should be contacting you as you both share the same interest.
My last memory of Dartmoor was early morning runs in full kit up and down Yes Tor.
Do not worry if you make mistakes or you need help, there are plenty on here that can point you in the right direction and even the simplist question will get a reply or several.
Cheers
Mike.
