    Hello there and good evening!

    Hi Everyone, wow I forgot about this forum. I took a long break from model making, I last logged in here i think back in 2015.

    Looking at starting the hobby up again.

            Marc,
            2015? - I hope you have a letter explaining your absence! :rolling:. The forum is a truly friendly place to visit, no matter what subject you model!
            Dave

              Yes so my explanation is: I got into motorcycles (real ones) and forgot this hobby. Just opened up my old modeling case, i need to service the airbrush, go through some of the paints, throw away the bad ones, get some new supplies, and make a start on the Muria. The GTO got shelved due to the kit not fitting correctly, it wasn't particularly well made.

              It seems that COVID has has a massive impact on the cost of kits too, they are nuts at the moment.

                  Hi there Marc,
                  I hope that not too much of your modelling gear doesn`t need replacing:thinking:,
                  ..... as you say,the price of kits is quite mad at the moment...... although there are still some bargains to be had if you look in the right places:thumb2:,
                  Cheers,
                  Andy

                          Ahhhhh, motorbikes.

                          Yes, modelling is expensive, but not as expensive as bikes!

                          I gave up riding when I retired, both at work and personal use...took up modelling, never looked back!

                          Welcome back!

                            But ... bikes aren't as expensive as wives (especially if you had more than one!) ...!
