discussion Posting a lot .

[Guest]

Ok , I admit posting daily and at some odd times as can be seen .
What I enjoy about this forum is the friendships that have been made with people from all over the world , even being lucky enough to meet some at shows in person. Help always offered, tips shared , even parts sent and received .The banter is always good natured , unlike some sites I read about .
Modelling to me has become a way of life, when was in business I had no time other than to work . Now in retirement things have changed, more time at home and esp in the garden and cave .

Long may it continue .

 

[Jim R]

My thoughts exactly John. Long may this forum continue.

 

[Airborne01]

Amen to that, both of you!

Well said Comrade and it has been great to meet some of you in person, including your good self......I just hope that the feeling was mutual! :smiling5:

John I really must know your secret! Since retiring my life is busier. (Maybe the job I had was too laid back)
I think I must put more effort into time management than I ever did. I even have a diary now!!!
And the time snatched to dive into the garage for a bit of glue sniffing sorry!! Application and painting are moments I enjoy. Yeah - this is a damn fine group. Glad I joined.

 

[Tworrs]

Well said John, I agree wholeheartedly.

 

[papa 695]

Well said, and I’ll be joining the retired ranks in September. So more modelling time for me.

You hope!! I found retirement a big trap by partners to get you to do all the things you couldn't when you worked. :smiling2: :smiling2: :smiling2:

 

[Geoffers]

Indeed John, couldn’t agree more re the forum, dunno about retirement I’m not quite there yet.

I stumbled on this forum by chance really and am so pleased I did.
I’ve been on a few others but they never felt quite right for one reason or another but this one is just right and I’m glad to be here :smiling4:

Geoff.

 

[Lee Drennen]

Well said John and your a great friend to us too until you burn our Build Threads down just kidding now that I’m Semi- Retired I’m enjoying life but I get really busy working 2 jobs part time and don’t get to post here as often as I like. Yes John there’s a lot of great people here just the other day I’m not mentioning any names and I was surprised to see him PM me just to make sure I was ok and my family was you don’t get that just on any forums and if you don’t see me for a bit you do the same. Thanks to ALL here who make this a great place to be.

 

[scottie3158]

John, very nicely put. The best things about this site is the non judgemental banter and choice of builds. Also watching and learning from the great modellers on here.

 

[Mickc1440]

I totally agree JR, feels like home on here. Like you I’ve got to know so many people around the globe which is a major plus. We have a great bunch of modellers on here and the banter is second to none. Long may it continue

 

[Tim Marlow]

Great thread John. I see this forum as my modelling club. To me the banter is as important as the actual modelling, and that’s what makes it feel like home. Being retired myself, it can be a great outlet on the days when I feel too tired or achy to get out and about, and during the Covid lockdowns it was an absolute life saver.
