Hi folks. I have been a member of this forum for a long time now but life gets in the way occasionally and it must be over a year since I was last on. After quite a break from modelling, I am trying to get back into this great hobby.
Fortunately, when I 'retired' I bagged up my stash and put it into storage. Although I have dabbled a bit over the last year or so, I have done nothing serious as I just couldn't get into the swing of things. Well, it's time to take another run at it and give it my best shot.
On the bench is a 1/35 MiniArt Valentine under construction
I also have a Tamiya 1/48 Tiger awaiting weathering and a Hobby Boss KV-1 decaled and glossed up ready for some weathering attention.
Project for the new year is a Zvezda BT-7 with Eduard photo etch and Bronco tracks
Armour is still my favourite subject but I will build anything that takes my fancy. Although, as Ron will confirm, I am no good at dioramas and, despite his best efforts to get me started, I have yet to make a proper diorama.
So that's it! I hope I can contribute to the forum in the coming months and keep the interest going again. 2016 will see huge changes in my life, one being my retirement in about five months time. So I am starting to plan my future now.
Looking forward to getting re acquainted with older members who may remember me and meeting the new folks and getting to know them.
