New to the forum and modeling

General Discussion Welcome - Introduce Yourself
1

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

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!!
