Hello Everyone

[Hull Bulldog]

Hi guys,

Just wanted to introduce myself, I'm Chris and a modeller from the UK, my main subject focus is around WWII armour and some aircraft, although I'm quickly running out of room to show off the finished kits!

I have seen a few familiar names/models around here from Instagram which is great so figured it was about time I got myself involved in forums a little more.

Anyways look forward to having enough time to post some builds.

Chris,
welcome to the forum - you'll find a lot of like minded people here, and we're probably the friendliest forum!! All types of models & all types of modellers. Loads of inspiration, and there's always a new technique, or idea that you can pick up ( or add! ).
Hull - I used to join ships in Hull, in my first career as a Merchant Navy Officer & I took my professional qualifications there. I spent a few nights or more in the local boozers! The most memorable being in a pub called the 'Shire Horse' ( this was in the 80's ) - motley crowd - livened up by someone letting off a CS gas canister - about 50 blokes trying to get out of two doors, all gasping & crying....................
Dave
PS - 3D printing? That's intriguing!

Hello dave,

Cheers for the warm welcome, I have been lurking for some time now.

It's been a long time since I have gone out into actual Hull Town for a drink, but the name of the pub sounds familiar...not sure if it's still there or maybe under a new name now. Sounds like a crazy night though!

Ahh yes I run a 3D printing company for scale model products and bench aids, been up and running for a few years now and are going from strength to strength. Did not want to include this detail in the first post here as did not want it to seem like I'm self promoting.

Anyways thanks again for the warm welcome and I'll be sure to post some of my WIP tomorrow as I'm heading out for the evening now.

Chris

Haha! More shelf queen's than finished projects .... I'm known to be easily sidetracked from a project and start another :tears-of-joy: ... I'm trying to correct this bad habit!

Hi Chris
A warm welcome to a great forum.
I went to secondary school in Hull many, many years ago. Hymers College. We use to bunk off school and go and hang out at the docks. That was back in the day when Hull had a large fishing fleet.
