Hi everyone

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.

Hi James, welcome aboard [snWcm]

There a several builders over there across the pond.

Good to have you with us. Be sure and post some picture of you builds.

Welcome to the Forums James! Glad to have you aboard!

Lots of very knowledgeable and talented guys, and gals, on here that are ready, willing and able to help you with any questions/problems that you might have. Don’t be afraid to ask. We’ve all been there. As Steve said, be sure to post pics of your builds.

Welcome aboard.

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.

Welcome to the community!

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. [;)]

Hey James !

Welcome aboard . Now there’s someone who can help me with my SeaFire FR 47.
