Did you just call me an expert.....???!!! :smiling5: :smiling5:

I once wanted my job title to include the word 'expert', until my boss pointed out that an ex is a has-been, and a spurt is a drip under pressure. :smiling5:
I became a specialist instead.

Ye Gods Pete - that one's seriously ancient! There's a story in my family that it's been passed down from generation to generation since before the Romans invaded!

gI have recently just purchased the new Airfix 1:72 tooling so would be interested in joining.

I'm a beginner though and am still working through my first models with basic techniques.

Is this okay or are teh GBs for a experts only?
