As one whose own share of health issues has caused me to re-evaluate my own building skills and abilities I urge you to keep at it, persevere and stay connected to our wonderful Forum. I know my abilities fall well short of what I could achieve even 10 years ago but I push myself to keep going, find ways to try and recover those skills and above all, continue to love making models! I'm barely out of hospital after hip replacement surgery and getting home to the model bench ASAP was better than medicine for my recovery!
Build logs can be a bit demanding and are not everyone's forte so rather than feel a duty to post a log of each build, just post photos of your selected in progress and completed projects. Don't abandon WW1 subjects but maybe vary them with other themes. I'm having real issues with delicate rigging now so I'm on a bit of a monoplane kick!
There are some new Forum boards coming soon which I hope will broaden the interest in this site. One, which I'm sorting now, will be a special Nostalgia modelling board where members can celebrate the classic kits of the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s. I'm hoping this board will allow us to recapture the real joy of modelling that got us all into this hobby all those years ago and we'll be inviting members to share photos of their early builds and current nostalgia builds - of all modelling subjects, not just WW1.
It's our fondest wish that the Forum continues to evolve and deliver the maximum model hobby fun to our global WW1 hobby family. New boards, more competitions, nostalgia builds, surprise membership prizes, we're just getting started here and the best is yet to come!
