Greetings to All

Post by SouthEast Aviation99 »

Having been a member of another forum for some time now and greatly enjoyed sharing my work with fellow modellers, I decided to 'branch out' so to speak and having looked at this forum on numerous occasion (and been impressed by the modelling I've seen) I decided this would be a great place to get even more tips and advice, whilst showing my passion for model making.

I have been model making for some time, gradually learning the tricks of the hobby.
My First kit, I made partly with my Dad's help was the Airfix Me(bf) 109 kit 02048 (which I subsequently converted into a Hispano Buchon) and I have it still, although it needs some TLC.

I do things slightly...differently. I set out my work in the style of a fictitious museum 'The South East Aviation Museum' which I imagine being somewhere locally, possibly the former Hatfield Aerodrome, I am not sure, this is the airfield with some of the exhibits:

That said, I do my updates and works in a restoration/replica style which will become apparent as time goes on. Perhaps a bit mad, but it's fun.

I hope that people will enjoy watching my builds and will provide hints, tips and advice :)

Welcome to the forum Chris; nice to see some of your builds and to hear about your style of displaying them. Sounds a cool way to do things!
Look forward to seeing you around the place, and hearing your thoughts on all the other builds going on :grin:
Best wishes

Welcome aboard !!
That's an interesting display concept. We've had a couple museum group builds - you might be interested if/when one rolls around again.

It's my model and I'll do what I want with it.

Welcome, Chris!

I've always thought a museum setting would be a natural for our models - glad to see someone putting it into practice!
