discussion Back to modeling after 40 years

[Deejaydee]

Hi

I'm Damian from Belfast. Like my friends I used to enjoy building models as teenager. I'm retiring soon and have time free. I've started building a few models.
A 1/76 scale airfix bren gun carrier that was a bit shoddy.
A 1/48 Stuka that was a bit better
I've just finished a 1/35 Panzer II which is not too bad if I say so myself

Hopefully I'll pick up some tips here. Haven't ventured into creating diorama yet!

Hi and welcome mate, same here, retired about 18 months ago and started back modelling, its a great way to keep busy and keep the mind active.
Just seen your 3rd model, looks bloody good mate, I tend to find that with every new model I learn something new, so its one of those hobbies that keeps on giving IYSWIM?
Keep us updated on the progress.
BTW, that Panzer and those nicely painted figures is crying out for a little Diorama..... go on.... you know you want to..... Lol.
