Hello from Devon UK.
« on: August 15, 2013, 11:07:51 PM »
Hi all,

I have been following the threads on here for some time now and greatly admire the work that goes on. I thought therefore it was time to introduce myself properly.

I have been back in modelling something like 5 years now mainly building armour and motorcycles bot military and civilian. However I have long had a love of all things WWI and since the whole WNW thing I have slowly been devoting my time to WWI Aircraft.

At present and for my sins I am building the WNW Gotha G.IV I shall make sure I post photos real soon but in the mean time just wanted to formally say hi.

A fantastic set up you have here and very friendly which amounts to an awful lot in my book.

Thanks for looking in, regards,

Martin.

Hello down there in Devon  8)

It's a great place to share a build..

I see you've broken yourself in gently by building a Gotha...  :o
