Re: Hello from the basement!
40?!?! You young whipper-snapper you! Welcome to to this wonderfully insane and supportive forum, where only the bravest may tread (or something). Don't worry about the moderators, most of them don't bite and if you throw a Starfix kit in their direction, it'll subdue them anyway!

Re: Hello from the basement!
I like the sound of your basement! Welcome KM.
The past, present, and future walked into a bar. It was tense.

Hi and welcome to the mad house. Looking forward to seeing your builds.

If you fancy building a Starfix kit then you're going to fit right in here!

Will I directly be banned, when I admit that in addition my wife is allowing me a display cabinet (albeit in a far corner) in the living room?DavidWomby wrote: โFebruary 19th, 2024, 7:05 pm Welcome. A modelling room next to a beer cellar. Heaven!

As I am in a medical treatment right now (nothing dangerous, more like "maintenance") there will be no new model completions in the next weeks, but I took some kits and basic tools with me so I can do some basic assembly and directly have something to paint on return home. Meanwhile I will
And finally also thanks to the warm welcoming words that have been added meanwhile
...off to search online auctions now for a Starfix kit...

Re: Hello from the basement!
Hope the medical stuff goes well. For starfi , the 1/72 Mustang isn't too bad. it is on a par with the Matchbox kit. I did one, put it in the markings from the Matchbox kit and nobody noticed.

We did notice Greg, we were just too shocked to type anything

Re: Hello from the basement!
Thanks for the good wishes!
I recently built a Mustang, but the A-4 is a type I would be interested in. But looking at my stash, buying anything additional seems to be not the best of ideas
