Hi Paul, Glad to see you post - you'll enjoy it here for sure.

Guys - Paul is a model club colleague and a real good friend who makes and paints some very nice models. He has a great dog called Ben who's a number one mate to me too  :)

This is him five years ago on his seventh birthday


See you later Paul

Hi Paul! Welcome! You are right about WNW kits being a challenge - but if approached systematically and patiently, they produce great results! There is lots of help and advice on the site... Regards, Marc

My Sue tells me it was 'Limited Edition' Bud  :D she took the pic on one of Ben's many 'holidays' here at ours - he is truly a great character, a real 'chancer' where biscuits are concerned and sharp as a pin

Paul,
    When I welcomed you earlier you hadn't added the photos of your Models; very nice! I can see the transition to WWI Subjects should be relatively seamless, I'm looking forward to seeing the results!
