Hi Peter and welcome

[Ian M]

Ooppps! Sorry, I got ahead of myself there. Should have read the rules first. So ignore my seat belt queries, I'll put them in the correct place.

We'll let you have that one for free as the answer has been given :tears-of-joy:

[Jabba]

Thanks for those greetings. I will persevere with the belts and let you know how I get on. It may be some time before I get up the courage to post photos of my feeble efforts as I don't think I'm on the same level as many of you!
In reply to stillp , We are about 1 1/2 hours south east of Angouleme, just below Limoges. Unfortuanately the model shop in Limoges closed some time ago ( his stock was bought by a guy who is based near Poitiers, about 2 hours away) and just recentley the next nearest one , which was in Perigueux, about an hour south west, also closed! The next nearest good ones are in Lyon or Paris (about 4 1/2 hours away.
I know its the same in England, but is so sad :sad-face:. So its back to the internet for most things....

It's the same everywhere Peter.....here in the U.S. they're dropping like flies.

That's the glory of this forum Peter. We don't judge abilities here. We'll give positive and constructive critique (when asked for) and hopefully give you a laugh along the way. I am by no means a decent model maker. But it's the fun of making them and having banter on the forum whilst i do.

One hundred percent agree with this. All you will get is advice, encouragement and support when posting on here Peter. I’ve never seen adverse criticism and don’t think I ever will.
Oh, and Alan is selling himself short. He is more than decent as a model maker :thumb2:

[Andy the Sheep]

Welcome to the forum Peter.

[Jim R]

Alan and Tim are right. Post your photos. I can guarantee that the response will be helpful, polite and supportive.

Ouch! That's harsh - I lived down the road in civilised Poole and Plymouth. up country in Salisbury (and beyond) - right up to enclaves in Jockland and the land of the Shamrock - even foreign lands like Suffolk and Daffyd! I'm a well-rounded xenophobe I think! And ... I can spell Smythe in several permutations - ! So there sweet cheeks!!
