Hi

Post by JamesG »

Hi All,

My name is James, some of you might know me from the Britmodeller forum as James G. I build mainly Soviet jets in 1/72, and US Navy carrier aircraft in 1/72 (and occasionally 1/48). I also have some 1/72 Swedish jets stashed away somewhere!
I have tried all sorts of modelling in the past, aircraft, ships, figures and little bit of armour/dioramas (even a couple of cars..). My proudest build to date is the 1/32 Tornado GR4 (converted from the Revell ECR kit). I really like the scenic aspect of dioramas and always try to place my aircraft builds in some kind of context.
Away from the modelling bench I like football, both playing and watching. I am a supporter of Nottingham Forest and also follow Shrewsbury Town. I play badminton, and go mountain biking and hillwalking when weather allows.
My wife and I just moved to Sheffield with my new job. I plan on setting up a hobby room when we move to a permanent home (renting at the moment). I'm hoping to attend the Sheffield/Rotherham IPMS meetings when I can.

Looking forward to meeting the good members of the UAMF!

Hi James and Welcome to UAMF.

Looking forward to seeing your builds. I too like USN aircraft and currently have an FJ-4B Fury on the bench - I love all that High-Viz!

And Soviet stuff too - check out the Cold war SIG boards at the bottom end of the forums...

Cheers

If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing

Welcome to the forum James and, reiterating what Stu said, you might like to check out the Cold War SIG lower down the forum topic list. 8-)
