Hello everyone
Posted by Segdude on Saturday, March 6, 2021 10:36 AM

Well, I've taken the plunge and invested heavily, ok, maybe not heavily, in some basic kit and started modelling again after, ooohh 50+ years. I started my working life as a watchmaker but alas my eyes and hands are not what they used to be. My love is all things car or motorbike related, and have just completed my first Tamiya 1/20 F1 car. This went better than expected, so am now (tomorrow) about to start a 1/12th McLaren M23 (James Hunt version).

I'm sure you'll be seeing me pop up asking stupid questions elswhere in the coming weeks and months.

Welcome to the forum!

The only dumb question is the one that you don't ask.

I look forward to seeing your builds!

Best regards,

Brad

Welcome!  Another car builder - I do about 1/3 of my builds as cars and have a 1/20 Honda RA-272 and a 1/20 Coventry Climax on the shelves and always looking for more F1 kits.  Looking forward to your builds.

Thanks,

John
