Hello!

[Zardoz]

Hi folks!

I'm a born-again modeller after a 20 year break! I was bought an Airfix 1:72 Spitfire as a gift (terrible kit!) but it reignited my old flame. As I've been trying to improve my skills I've found this site to be a great help, and thought it was about time I joined and said hello, and thanks.

Just finished this old Matchbox 1:72 Mustang P-51D I won on eBay:







Oh, and I do GamesWorkshop stuff too, just finished this guy:

Welcome to the Foram Daz.

I know how you feel, I came back from a 20 year break last year, this is a great friendly site, my skills have improved beyond recognition in just over a year, by just watching how the others build their kits and copying their techniques.

Welcome to the forum Daz. You'll find your figure painting skills will come in handy in kit modelling too, also Citadel paints are great in many applications.

Maybe if I took a 20-year break, I could come back and produce models that good looking.

Welcome aboard.

Welcome to the forum Daz, I look forward to seeing more builds like your Mustang.

Maybe if I took a 20-year break, I could come back and produce models that good looking.

Welcome aboard.

The 20 year break didn't work for me, I still suck...

My models suck and I didn't even have the benefit of a twenty-year break.....

What is this "break" you speak of?
I know not of it.

Welcome Daz...make yourself at home and don't take any of it too seriously.
I'll echo James' comment re figure painting skills.

Regards,
Bruce

Thanks for the warm welcome and the comments folks.

...and don't take any of it too seriously.

No worries there, I'm just enjoyning the hobby again for what it is and hopefully improving with each kit.
