new boy here

hello from Wales[:D]
i have just joined this site as i have just connected up to the internet at last.
i am just getting back into modelling after a 2 year break (getting married,moving house,decorating etc).
i mainly stick to 1/72 ww2 aircraft, but if my skills get better i fancy making bigger scale aircraft .
thanks all
Lee

Welcome to the FSM Forums [#welcome]. My father came to the US from Wales, I own a Welsh Corgi, Ian Woosnam is one of my favorite pro golfers & I build mostly WW2 aircraft. Guess we have a bit in common.

Regards, Rick

Welcome! I too am of welsh ancestry… many years back I am sure, my father has had trouble tracing back his family’s genealogy too far…

I went from 1/72 WWII aircraft in my past modeling life, to 1/48 at present… and wont go back! the details are astounding on some aircraft and as my eyes get older they thank me for the bigger scale!

We have a Battle of Britain Group Build about to start in January (located in the group builds section of course) mostly a few yanks, a BUNCH of Aussies and a few from the UK… we would feel priviledged if you stopped by to say hi!

—edit—

oh… and a Canadian as well! [;)]

Hello Lee, Welcome to the forum.

First, [#welcome] to the forum taffy. There appears to be a lot of Welsh Ancestory around here, myself included tho’ a couple of generations removed. I also stick to 1/72 WWII aircraft but have branched out into WWII armor and ships from time to time. I also do the occasional 1/32 WWII fighter.

tho9900 I take exception to the fact you left out the lone Canadian in your list for the Battle of Britain GB. [V] Just Kidding!!

Seriously though, do stop by the Group Build Thread for the Battle of Britain and sign up for a fun building experience. Don’t be intimidated by this bunch of styrene freaks, I’ve found them to be quite friendly and very helpful.

Welcome aboard, Lee…

Welcome to the land of paint & glue fumes…

Welcome aboard!

Some people say that 1/72 is for people who don’t want to detail things…we all know it is for the future blind.

Welcome.
