Title: Hello from Portugal
Post by: Belard on December 15, 2016, 07:26:11 PM

Hello. I am Luis Belard, 56 years old, from Portugal as I say in the Title. More specifically I live in Parede, near Estoril, which some of you may recall because it has a motor racing circuit where a few years ago we had nice F1 races.
I did my bit of model building when I was young, a student and a bachelor (all at the same time!), and now that I managed to retire early :)) I decided to return to some of my early hobbies.
I feel not much has happened in these 30-odd years in the modelling world, but I rely on you nice folks to update me...
