Like most boys, I started modelling plastic kits many moons a ago. I can remember buying balsa wood plane kits when the wings were covered in tissue paper and sealed with dope. The smell was wonderful. Anyway, now that I am much older, I started modelling again during lock down. I had a partially made Tamiya 1/12 Renault RE20. Stropped it back and started again (not a good idea) However, it didn't look too bad. Now I have started the Tamiya 1/12 Williams FW14b. I had one kit from about 20 years ago and recently brought another from ebay, making a good one from the 2. I have also brought upgrade kits from Top Studio. I have also have another RE 20 and 2 Lotus 49's. Roll on the winter!

 Richard,
 welcome to the forum! Love the Renault! These F1 models certainly build up to fine showpieces - The only ones I've made recently have been 1/24 - the 1/12 versions a little too much for me - although I've been flirting with 1/24 track cars, as well. You'll find loads of like minded modellers here, but not just cars - all genres!

 Welcome, Richard. Those Tamiya 1/12 F1 kits are a real pleasure to build and yours looks very nice.

 Richard,
 A most warm welcome from me.
 I am a wingy-thing nut myself so have to be a bit thick here and ask what physical size the Renault is?
 It certainly looks the business.
 Can I ask what you use for the metallics (esp the the chrome)? (They are impressive :thumb2 
 Kind Regards,
 JohnComment
