    Hi to everyone

    A friend recommended the site and after a brief look I really like the set up. I'm probably going to be regarded as an "oldie" (70 +) I had not built a model since being at school,but with the "lockdown" I decided to pick up a hobby again. I tend to work in 1/35 scale. Ex military. you can probably guess my favourite subjects. Have built a few dios in the last couple of years, Not up to some standards but I think I'm improving, AND I'm enjoying it! Look forward to contibuting something to the group, and getting to know some fellow modellers. Best wishes - Wobbly (Mick)

        Mick,
        oldie? nah - just well matured! So - 1/35 Military - what era? You'll find someone on here with similar interests, and you can pick up all sorts of useful information and tips - and vice versa!. Just dive in & ask questions - if one person doesn't know the answer, then someone else will - or know where to find it!
        Dave

                        I suspected you were a sherbet forester - call it intuition! Para for a while; mixing with refined, cultured people made me realise there was a different world outside the cement factory so re-badged a couple of times and eventually finished up in Int - 24 mis-spent years but a life-time ago now!

                              Hi Mick, great to see you here.
                              Strength isn't about what you can do, rather it's about overcoming what you thought you couldn't do.
