Hello from Yorkshire

Post by Mr T »

Hi, my name is Martin and i am a 1/7nd aircraft modeller in my early 60's. I build aircraft used by the British armed forces from WW1 to about 2000. I also dabble in model railways. Over the years have built Vacforms and Resin as well injection moulded, both mainstream and short run, so not afraid of the odd challenge. i even got a fair way with a VeeDay/Merlin kit before it meant with a genuine accident.

Welcome aboard, Martin. Your interests will fit right in here and we're looking forward to seeing your work.

We have small but active vacu-form, resin, and rail modeling groups here. For the latter, the Classic British Kits SIG hosted here did a rail-focused display last year at SMW/Telford.

A warm welcome to the UAMF Martin. Whereabouts in God's Own are you if you don't mind me asking?
