Evening everyone.
I used to build 1/35 WW2 kits as a kid and kind of had another go in my late twenties but it's always been something that's simmered away in the background. I'm now still nearer to 50 than 60, but only just.
Clearing some stuff from my folks house last year I found not only 5 Tamiya catalogues from the 70's but also a stash of kits I'd built years ago. I then started looking on the net and have been totally inspired by some of the builders out there. Previously amazed by Francois Verlindens work, I now feel just as bowled over by what I've seen recently.
I've bought 3 kits to get me started (or last me the next 5 years) and intend to make a start this week. I'm going to take them really slowly ( I also have a love of old cars and with spring on the way I'll be splitting my spare time).
I'm aiming to build dioramas too, so it'll either turn into an all consuming passion again or I'll make a right dogs dinner of it. Time will tell !
Anyway, nice to be here and I've enjoyed having a look round. Hopefully I'll have something to contribute soon.
Cheers, Dan
