Some new bloke

Post by CygnusX1 »

Howdo
My name is Chris and I live in Kent (UK).

I'm returning to model making after a long break (about 15-20years away? Something like that... and from that you can guess that I'm a bit of an old fart) and I consider myself a 'general' modeller in that I'll build pretty much anything, and have in the past built: cars, bikes, armour, ships, planes, helicopters, figures and so on. I'd say my skills were... rusty and well out of practice.

I particularly like building armour with panzers and IDF vehicles favourite subjects, but I'll really build anything that I like the look of.

And that's it. Cheers for reading - and I might put up some pics of a my first model back which is a Pz4 build, a bit later, when I've figured out which image host to use. Cheers.

That's pretty cool thanks for that.
I signed up to Flickr - we'll see how it goes. Cheers.

And thanks to every one else that said hello.
