Greetings from Shifnal

Post by Kitaholic »

Hello fellow modellers,

My name is Gord and I'm a kitaholic, there now I've said it, just please don't try to cure me ;-)

I live quite close to Cosford, Telford ( stones throw from SMW ) and Kingkit ( wish he would stop feeding my addiction :lol: )

Got quite a broad interest but have to admit I really love whiff ( god more admissions )

Looking forward to chatting with you guys

btw great site

Gord
Regards

Thanks for the welcome guys :grin:

@ Paul :- Yes I made it to Telford, actually got a day off :roll: SWMBO saw a couple of models in the comp she liked so had to get the kits to make them for her ( know my place, and a damn good reason to buy kits ;-) )

@ Dazzled/James :- yes def the modellers triangle/heaven here, bank manager doesn't like it though :oops:

Saw the stand Paul, had been browsing as a guest for a while so maybe it gave me a little nudge to get off my backside. It was a stand full of fond childhood memories.

Greetings Gord. I had a very nice evening out in Shifnal a couple of years back, was visiting SMW for the first time.

Looking forward to seeing a few of your builds.

hi Tonto, we certainly have more than our fair share of inns in this town, not that I frequent them :beer: Had to say that as the Mrs Modellers appear to be going to frequent this place now ;-) BTW nice to hear from a fellow Northerner, just up the coast from Whitley Bay myself
