I know I have been on the forum for a couple of days now so I think I should make a entrance, but that's what hero's do! I've been modelling for years, but not tanks, diorama for 1:32 model farms as that's my lively hood and that's what I'm interested in! I grew up on a farm in Somerset which was a small farm owned by my dad, unfortunately he was called back to service in 2005 (He is scout sniper/sniper). My dad doesn't really talk about his military service a lot, instead he like to draw pictures and write stories of his active time in the military! He has taught me many things, the art of concealment, stalking (Prey not ladies..), He was taught me wind adjustment and how to doap the scope to adjust with the changing winds, he has also taught me gun safety but not how to shoot, he believes I must teach my self individual things just in case something happens, I need to adapt and use my brain! Which is painful considering I'm... well... dense.
Since then I have taken up many hobbies like, air-soft (helps practice concealment), Clay pigeon shooting and also Deer stalking. Since a young age I have had a fascination in guns and armour, I enjoy collecting replica guns to see how they work but the can cost a bit of money so now I just buy the manuals, I also got my self a job at the nearest shooting club, Wallers ash and I think the one of the main reasons I enjoy doing it, is because everyone is in a close community and helps each other, much like this forum, thankfully.
Another Job (gun club is once every fortnight on Sundays) is a general farm hand, I do most of the manual work around the yard, I replace roofs, and maintain the yard to a high standard, or the best I can do along with driving Tractors, I'm too young to drive on main roads but I can do small country lanes and field work and I think I do the job alright, or I would have the job! that's where I got my name Duck, its my CB handle
The farm job is very good, I do most of it on inset days and after school so its more like a past-time... When I was young my parents divorced and I moved to Hampshire with my brother and my Mother in 2011 and I'm enjoying the jobs so far! previously I worked on a small sheep farm in Somerset, just bedding down, nothing else.
More about me as a person though, I'm 14, born 27'th March 1999 and my real name is Thomas (Patrick James) Barrett, I do a few sport, Boxing and Rugby (woo mans sport)
since the 26th I have started a 1:35th scale Tiger I and I'm enjoying it very much and I hope I get into this in the future!
Best regards, If you have any questions, or doubts about it, please ask away!
Also, just so you can see my mug, thats my with my mumsy! And my custom t-shirt I got her for Christmas of my mug aswell!
Vote for Tom, Don't be selfish..
Duck is sad.
