old newbie hopefully restarting

Post by Andyd »

Hi all,
I am a 60's boy coming back to my childhood hobby. I pretty much like most modelling subjects, motorbikes, cars, military, scifi, aurora horror glow in the dark.

I have built up a huge stash to work through.

Iplan on doing in next 6 mths my Revell Apollo 11 Lunar Module Eagle 03701 and my Aioshima GPZ 900 Ninja in red (going to replica my old bike).

Hope to contact like minded lads, for tips, help and inspiration,

Cheers
Andy D

Hello and welcome

You named a good number of subjects that we have in common so are gonna be good pals
Neil does an intro post to get you going on here, watch for @Tomcat64 to post that

The big thing is using Flickr as a photo hosting site not the forums pics or we crash.
Anyhow welcome and let me know if you need anything

    Hello Andy and :welcome: to the ISM forum.

    When you get a moment please check out the forum guidelines which can be found ---> here

    We'd love to see your work & progress but in order to post photos you will need to host them on an external site such as Flickr and then link to them from the forum. Unfortunately the forum currently doesn't have sufficient capacity or bandwidth to host directly uploaded photos.

    There is a quick guide on how to use the Flickr integration on the forum ---> here

    As well as the forum boards there is a really useful Modeller Toolkit available which can help with paint matching, paint thinning, glue types & a scale calculator that can be found ---> here

    We'll also be running a number of group builds & special interest groups through the year so feel free to enter any of those that you like the look of.

    Otherwise take a look around and join in, and if you have any questions feel free to ask.

    Have fun!
    Cheers, Neil

    Of possible interest, we are doing a Summer Sci-Fi Fantasy Space Group build June1- Sept 30
    Lots of fun and a fairly wide variety of topics to chose
    You are more than welcome to participate and I know a guy who organizes it so can help you out :whistle:
