ISM = Amazing

[Bagpiper]

Well what can I say. It has been but a few weeks since Lee and Paul started ISM and invited me (make that dumped from a great hight) to be the GB Team Lead (whatever the heck that means) I said I would help. I should have remembered from my Army days "never volunteer for anything" But I wanted to say a very big thank you to both of them and indeed to all of you. Lee and Paul for starting ISM and all our friends and members and sponsors for making it such a great place to be in such a short space of time.

So let's keep the momentum going and sign up for our facebook page - and share it with your friends please. Sign up on our Google+ page - and share it with your friends and let's get this place rocking and rolling.

Lastly we would be nothing without our kind sponsors for the prizes and monthly drawings so a very big thank you. I have put our sponsors on our facebook page and google+ page - it is the least I can do.

I am sure we don't see all the effort Lee and Paul puts into this so well done guys and thank you both

[Paul]

Yeah jimmy the Git

Ha ha thanks for that jim, it means a lot, yeah the last month has flown by.

We have a few more plans for ISM, with fingers in many pies so to say, quite a bit going on behind the scenes

Onwards and upwards.

[T3hGuppy]

Yeah thanks guys for setting this community up !!

[Nige201980]

[UKscalemodeller]

A month already!
I must say I feel quite at home here, a haven indeed. Thanks for creating it.

[BrummieModeller]

ISM is the best! I use this just like facebook and i'm always on that so its amazing place to be

[Lee]

Money's in the post Jim......lol

Thanks to all our members who make these forums what they are

[Coen]

Right, what they all said!

Seriously though, thanks guys. I've read and perused many forums and nothing struck my fancy.
To confrontational or adversarial.
Things I have no interest in what so ever.
This site is like my favourite chair... the only time I leave is because I have to, never because I want to.
You're all a great bunch of talented modellers that actually enjoy your hobby.

[chief5437]

I'll second that! Cheers Lee and Paul (and maybe J to the G! Ha ha).
The only problem is that it's too popular, which means I can't get to read every post before bed time!!

[PhildaFish]

A forum that reflects what this (and every) hobby should be - fun! I've found this place to be relaxing, informal and it never fails to bring a smile to my face on every visit.

The really annoying thin about ISM, and there is one, is that about a week before it started, after watching a video by Alexmodelling, I had this great idea abut starting a forum/website, using the youtube modellers as a basis.

It was to be called something like 'International Youtube scale modellers community' and I even put together a logo idea based loosely on the UN symbol. I then thought Naaa I could never do that and it wouldn't be popular anyway. DOH!

That said, I'm guessing ISM was actually conceived long before that.

Long live ISM

Doh lol

The idea had been floating around in my head for a long time (well over a year) but more so in the last couple of months. Lee and myself were (i still am) members of flory models and lee started to post his SMR videos on there (I couldn't post my emodels builds as it promoted emodels) and he got good reception from most people, all bar one Jan or foxy Rommel so with lee's videos being removed and mine not being able to be shown, I sent lee a pm seeing if he wanted to joint start a forum revolving around you tube modellers. Turns out we had both had the same idea and he was about to pm me asking me the same thing. So as I said the other day cheers Jan, without your moaning/negative attitude this place may never have existed

[Bagpiper]

... without dragging up anything negative, this is all making sense now.

Cheers
Jim

I thought it might

[chief5437]

I knew it!

I would like to continue the praise to Paul and Lee for creating such a great forum. Kudos must go to you guys for making the forum so diverse through creating non modelling topics and for reconsigning smaller niches such as fantasy. Great job guys, so glad i became a part of this community. Well done to Jimmy for managing the Group Builds, no doubt as more exist you will regret the decision and hire a small child to take on the large share of the workload.

The only downside is that having just completed my degree ISM reminds me of my Independent Study Module and as such freaks me out occasionally .

[ChubberLang]

I am so chuffed and privalidged to be apart of ISM Community! Guys are so helpfull and go out there way to help me to fullfill my scale model hobby!

A super big, BIG thank you to Paul and Lee for an awesome job they are doing!

[modellingmadness]

I agree with everything above ^
Thanks guys and all the members too !!!1

[Nige99]
