Greetings from Lancashire, England

Post by Johni044 »

Just a quick intro, normal story of making kits as a kid, moved onto other things and came back to hobby seriously a couple of years ago.

Married with 12 kids aged from 25 to 2 of which only the youngest 8 live with us. Main interest are military aircraft in 1:72 and 1:48 but will make virtually anything but figure painting to me is a dark art I can not master.

Use the hobby to relax and tend to make direct out of box and mainly use the old hairy stick. My output is certainly not to the standards of some of the masterpieces I have seen here, but look forward to sharing and contributing to the community here.

John
