Smackers Posted June 30, 2021 Share #1 Posted June 30, 2021 Hello all My names Michael or Mike for short. I have an interest in all sorts of models, mainly plastic kits of WWII aircraft, WWII ships/boats/submarines and cars. Being a lorry driver i don't get around to building much but i find others building and finishing kits etc to be inspirational. All the best Mike bruce d, JeffT, mtaylor and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louie da fly Posted July 1, 2021 Share #9 Posted July 1, 2021 Hi Mike, and welcome to MSW. Do you have a particular model in mind? When you get started, make sure you begin a build log - it's a great way to get help and advice. Steven mtaylor 1 Quote It's not really a ship model unless you've bled on it.
