Neil. Have a great day. :banana:

:welcome: to the forum Neil.

I’m sure you’ll find this a very friendly place to share your modelling hobby with. As mentioned previously there are some very talented (and incredibly modest) modellers here, who as well as shouting out encouragement, offer supportive advice if, and only if, requested.

By the way that bike looks great :th:

Hi Neil, I'm Neil (we are taking over!!)
Welcome to the mad house :) Its a good place to be - whether you be actively learning by asking questions, passively learning by reading build threads or just kicking back and having fun. :) :)
Do not be surprised if you get seduced from your first love - I guess bikes - into new areas... I started out on helicopters - and now have tanks, trucks and artillery in the stash plus a collection of Sci-Fi ships now... :lol:
    Neil (yet another one...)

    On the board now:

    Hi Neil and welcome into the forum.

    Nice bikes, do you have a 1:1 bike too?

    I noticed the two you shared are classics, is that where your interests lay or do you also like the newer models?

    Hi Ben.
    Thanks for the welcome.
    Believe it or not, I have never ridden or owned a bike in my life, I just like building them.
    I don’t have a preference on what bikes I build, I ask my daughters, son in laws or grandchildren which bike they like and that’s the ones I build. :th:

    Neil. Have a great day. :banana:

    Hi Neil

    Welcome aboard. The bike is terrific. I own an Indian scout bobber myself but dont model them ( yet ). I'm maybe get around to posting a picture or two up at some point.

    I'll look forward to seeing what else you are up to.

    Cheers for now

    Hello Neil. I've never built a bike myself but I'm always interested to see others' methods!

    Me too although I do have 2 or 3 or 4 military bikes to do. Which won't require all the decals or a gloss finish. :th: :th: :cheers2:
