Hello there, I'm hoping to learn and be inspired by this forum, having dipped my toes already in 'the other one'. Hopefully the focus on modelling here will reap benefits from what seems to have become a golden age for our hobby.
My own return to the hobby was a spinoff from making a couple of nativity stables for friends, and then staring at a dusty half empty display cabinet containing the few survivors of modelling times past (there's an Airfix Hannover Cl.IIIa which I'm fairly sure is forty+ years old). I always loved biplanes, but my eyes were opened to what has become available these days when I picked up a Toko kit of one of my favourites, the SSW D.IV. To me the fine details were a world away from the few WWI kits that used to be sold. I love all the product that Roden et al have put out, though most of what I've bought since has yet to be built. And if I need another motive, well I'm trying to encourage a young nephew into doing creative things with his hands and not spend so much time on his XBox
And so I've come here! I'm truly staggered by the skills on show, not least by the esteemed forum owner on his ww1aircraftmodels site, and if I can emulate any of them in the slightest way, I'll be very pleased.
