First proper model meet

[Alan 45]

Fantastic!!Glad all went ok Alan

Don't forget all us now :P

Pfft I'll never forget this place you lot got me where I am today and besides now I'm a member of a club I get into my local show for nothing :P

Yes honestly Emma I am relatively new here and have had nothing but encouragement from all but I have been building models(scratch built ships mostly) for years only got back into plastic Christmas time, but I am still nervous about my first meet tomorrow, so I agree with Si get some builds under your belt first and anyone who is derogatory to your builds is not someone to be listened to.

cool Alan so glad it went well for you

and it is nice to have some were to go and chat about modeling , happy for you and see we were right lol,

i have a little shop called Eureka Miniatures close to me were i buy my paint from,and go in once ever other

week for 2 or 3 hrs and have a chat with the lads in there, and a coffee,but its just so nice to spent time with people who have the same interest as you do,

[Alan 45]

Your moni it's ok when friends and family say you've done a good job but it's better when you talk to people who share the same interest not that I don't value every other ones opinion of course

[ojays]

Is it worth me going to meets to learn and appreciate what to do? X

I agree with Si.

I was once a member of an IPMS model group many years ago.

We held a competition with judge from Leeds IPMS, who offered no constructive criticism and was rude with his comments.

It put me off showing any of my models or joining any clubs since, and then I found this forum.

The gal/guys here will be always be honest with their comments, and direct if they feel something could/may be improved.

Nothing heavy, just honest down to earth constructive criticism to help improve our efforts.

You will enjoy it here!

I have to admit all this is quite new for me...let me explain, all you know I'm not english, but I'm here

There isn't any kind of club where I live (in fact on the big city as well ). So my first option was a modelling forum in my mother language. But, oh my God!! After a fast look, mmm...how to explain..."bad vibrations". Just wondering if a club as the same as a spanish forum...

Sometimes I have the "wish" to talk with my country modellers. So when I hear you have many different clubs I'm really glad for all you guys

and much better if I hear all goes perfect as well!!

Errr...you accept another country members ? :P

the thing with modelling is that we build on our own which is not always a good thing ," it is good to talk " as the advert says , i too have joined my local ipms and we have a great time with info flowing and models looked over , it is hard to beat this forum but you cant beat a face to face .

[eddiesolo]

I agree Steve, just for a noob it is better to get something that you can show and interact with instead of going in cold.

I have an option, and is open a modelling club here! But I live on a little village with less than two hundred persons, I prefer to be older before to start speak alone

I suppose you could scratch build some figures to go to your club

I'm not allowed to talk to girlies on Yahoo...or any other do-da, backface, nutter...etc...mainly down to the fact that this is forum is just about all I can manage...haven't a clue about anything else.

Awesome news Alan, sounds like you found a great bunch of modellers. I don't belong to any club , just this forum, it's all I need for my modelling habit.
