New member in Newcastle Upon Tyne

Post by rgbroga »

Hi All,

After many years collecting (and making a complete mess of some kits) I thought I might sell some of my kits. Then I thought, Nope, it's taken me years to get to this point, I just need to take my time and learn some techniques and I can actually build something that looks good.
That's the plan, anyway, it may work out that way or then again....

Hello Bob 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 and a couple of step by step guides in 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 also run 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

Hello Bob I hope you enjoy the forum as much as I do. I'm from a similar area, County Durham (don't hold that against me though). You'll find that members are superb here, extremely helpful and willing to pass on their vast experience. Enjoy. :th:
Thanks
Paul S.
