Hello from Darlington

[Guest]

Hi
Iv been into modeling on and off most of my life, but nothing serious, and never actually finished anything.
My renewed interest resulted in me finding this forum and liking how it looks so registered.
Only problem is I used my full second name not realising this was going to be my forum name.
Looking forward to being able to show you all a finished model sometime, and learning from you all too.

Do not worry, I thought it was a shortened version of Wenslydale or something similar.
By the way welcome to the forum.

Welcome Colin - whatever you choose to call yourself!
It does your modelling skills a lot of good to change genres, and try something new! 1/16 is the smallest I'll go with stand alone figures & in nearly 60 years of modelmaking, I've only made one SF model ( and that was for a mates' kid ).............

Hi there Windy aka Colin. You have indeed stumbled upon a gold mine of friendliness and maybe a few barmy fruitcakes - but we don't bite. Build - yes but bite - Nah!!!!! Looking forward to seeing your builds if you decide to show them.

[ColinW]

Thanks for the warm welcome guys. Iv nearly finished a couple of miniart figures at 1/16.
Relatively uncomplicated to build, but the mould fit isn't the greatest.

[Dave Ward]

the mould fit isn't the greatest.

You said it - I've only ever finished one MiniArt 1/16 Figure - the Athenian Hoplite, given up on several! Try the ICM 1/16 Viking, Centurion or Gladiator ( or even the Game of Thrones trio! )

Welcome aboard Colin. Thank goodness you didn't settle for Windyish as it would have been lingering stale aroma with a whiff of curry if you had Brians dinner. :tears-of-joy: I am at the moment modifying a figure for a small vignette and hope to post up some pictures of the wip soon.

Cheers,
Richard aka Wabble
