Hi everyone
Posted by James1102 on Thursday, June 18, 2015 4:59 AM

I have spent many years making model boats etc. but have just recently took an interst in scale modelling. I live in the Isle of Man in the British Isles.

I have been inspired by the many websites available and having seen some of the fantastic results I though I would give it a go.

Welcome aboard, James!

Serve that man a ration of rum!

I used to follow the TT pretty closely. Mike Hailwood was a big hero of mine.

 Modeling is an excuse to buy books.

Yes the TT is now over, best time of year on the island, however as I work in the Emrgency Sercices Control Room I am glad it is over.

Thank you all for the welcomes. I look forward to posting some pics as long as you promise not to laugh. I have start on a 1/72 Airfix Spitfire just to get back into things. I cant believe all the products that are now available. Bit different from a few years ago.

Will certainly look forward to seeing those pics. At least you chosen the correct scale, though the subject mater may need some working on. Wink
