Title: Hello from me...
Post by: Scaley on August 17, 2015, 07:40:46 PM: Hi, my name's Derek, 59 years old and returning to model making after a 40 year holiday ;D

I've already collected a good few kits on various subjects but after recently reading Sagittarius Rising and Winged Victory my interest in WW1 aviation has been revived and I'm stunned at the quality and beauty of WW1 models that I've seen here and elswhere. Hopefully I'll be able to reach that high standard.

Looking forward to learning and contributing.

Cheers.

If you're aspiring to high standards, there so are many people willing to encourage and share ideas along the way.

Best wishes
Nigel
