Another newcomer, please be gentle!

Morning all.

Another newcomer here, from Reading, Berks.

I squidged a few kits together as a yoof (though rarely finished them!) and modelling kept me amused forany years. Bits like most of us it seems, I found alcohol and girls, full size cars and motorcycles, and modelling fell off the radar.

A chance glimpse of a picture of FaceAche has re-kindled the old bug though, so I've got a couple of basic Airfix 1/72 kits to see if I still enjoy sticking myself to bits of plastic - and I do!

I hope to do some learning from you knowledgeable folks, and see if I can't finish off some of my childhood kits.

Many thanks, Pete.

That's a story most of us could copy and paste. Join in whenever you feel ready.

Welcome on board Pete. It was a period of post operation convalescence that got me back into the hobby after a 40-ish year hiatus. I thought I’d beaten the plastic bug, but once bitten......

Welcome aboard Pete! A familiar story to a lot of us, even more so for me having grown up in Reading (well Woodley to be accurate) and lived in the vicinity until 1988

Cheers folks

Ah, iggie, you left about the time I arrived. The place has not improved, in fact it's becoming a real old dump!
And no model shops anymore :(
