Hello one and all
I've just signed up to the site so thought I'd introduce myself.
I'm English, born and bred in North Lincolnshire where I started my modeling - the usual boy's stuff of battleships etc. but wasn't very good at it!
Later in life I restarted modelling - bought the Hellier Gorch Foch (yes, I now, it's not a car!!) got about half-way through then life got in the way and so the ship went back in it's box.
A few years ago, I started modelling again - ships again, this time plank on plank sailing ships.
Taking a break, I decided to go back to plastic - but ships again, this time (as I grew up in a fishing town) the Revell North Sea Trawler).
Then came Christmas and I spotted the Revell 1:24 E-Type Jag model. I sent a note to Father Christmas which must have arrived as I found the model under the tree!!
So there you are. Luckily, I have good tools from my ship building (files, tweezers, cutters, knives, paint brushes, making tape etc) so all I needed was to get the paints.
Wow - so now I have a box of 20 or so paints, plus decal fixing solution, thinners, different glues, sharpies, a molotow liquid chrome pen and polishing compounds.
My model is nearly there - added some mods and a little weathering and starting to think about my next car model - which might be another e-type which i would build as a left-hand drive version..
Look forward to being in touch
John
