New to the forum and modeling
Posted by SgtDannySgt on Tuesday, October 13, 2015 8:10 PM

Hello everyone, just joined the forum. Am a recently retired police officer and decided to start a couple of hobbies, one of which will be modeling. I have modeled a bit in the past, mostly WWII vehicles, I am now delving into it more seriously. My interests will be in WWII aircrafts and warships. At first, I will be building some models with a goal of eventually getting into dioramas. I would love to, one day, build the final moments of the Repulse and/or Prince of Wales. Cheers

Danny

Yes retirement is very nice indeed. Thanks for the welcomes Guys, I'm sure a newcomer like me will have loads of questions to ask. I will be subscribing to the e-magazine and view the different videos. I have two kits on the way from Amazon!! Cheers Danny

Glad you made it through your career well, thanks for keeping your community safe. Now you move from the "Cop Shop" to the hobby shop, good for you and I hope you'll enjoy it thoroughly.

Welcome Danny Welcome Sign

That's quite the dirama you have planned. Stay on the forums and post a few builds and before you know it, you be building it.

Building a kit from your stash is like cutting a head off a Hydra, two more take it's place.

Finally my first warship model has arrived: Tamiya 1/350 H.M.S. Prince of Wales. It's actually larger than anticipated and the painting instructions and scheme appears to be good. Airbrush also arrived so now I need to purchase the required paints and I can start it!!
