chadwijm6 Posted January 17 Share #1 Posted January 17 Hi everyone Just joined and wanted to say what a fantastic site this is with some fabulous builds and so much information that I've only just begun to search through. I've just started modelling (at over 50 years young!) And I'm currently working on an Airfix Titanic 1/400 and I've got an Occre Polaris ready to go next. I thought it would be good to try different materials. I live in the UK but spend quite a lot of time in Brussels, so the modelling will be a great evening hobby while I'm away from home. Basically I'm just hoping to improve my skills ( I use that term very loosely) and learn about the hobby and the history. Just bought the Frank Mastini, Ship Modeling Simplified book for some research which I'm looking forward to reading. Nice to meet you all and any advice or help you can offer along the way I would be very grateful for. James ccoyle, scrubbyj427, AJohnson and 6 others 9 Quote Cheers, James.
