Welcome aboard Stephen, or as the Doric speakers in your part of the world say ‘Fit like’

 

For those not from these shores Doric is an old Scottish dialect often spoke in the NE of Scotland

Hi Gary, originally Arbroath but last 25 years up here I am still trying to understand them.

But thanks anyway.

 Stephen, welcome to MSW. Were I living in your part of the world I'd be using Cornwall Model Boats as my main supplier. I've order from them in the past and they're a good company, IMHO. Glad to have you aboard.

Keith thanks, will go and have a look at them.

Welcome!  You should try New Zealand.  On the other hand, I guess China is slightly nearer and that's where pretty much all of it comes from anyway.  Model shops have long been places that wildly overcharge for average-quality gear for the most part.

Tillsbury, 

Thanks for the welcome.

Hello Model Ship World Members,

Just Back into the modelling again since 1982, aim to go along the 1/350 scratch build WWII Diorama.

Based Peterhead, Scotland, other than a small wee shop in Inverurie and a Games workshop Aberdeen, there is nothing close at all to get materials, base or kits even. Internet is the main supplier.

Regards

Stephen
