Hi all new and returning members Good to see this place returning to some use, as this was the first forum I ever truly called 'home'. My proper return will not be for a while though as I'm currently studying for a professional qualification to help with my work - fortunately they're paying!! My studies will be finished by mid-June and so I'll hope drop in then. It will give me an excuse to get this build ( link) finished!! All the best. Andrew |

Andrew All the best wishes for you on your studies and I hope it all pans out well for you buddy. I've got something coming up for my work as well that I'm going to have to invest some time into (I'm just trying to figure out just where exactly I'm going to fit it in...lol). With that said, I understand time shortages and commitments all too well. Thank you for taking the time to let us in on what's going on and we're just glad that you're back in here with us Andrew. Looking forward to seeing you in any capacity that you can be in the meantime and will be looking forward to June where you'll be back with us in full force.  |

See you soon mate Hurry back, we've not met yet I' m Perry or armornuttii( nutty) and I already miss not seeing your work. Study hard, study long, BUILD MODELS...after studies😉 Good to see many old names and some of course some new ones too - and someone just had to bring Arnie into it, didn't they!!  ** As I said, it will be June before I'm back properly but in the meantime - and of course with the permission of the mods - I would liked to share a few of the builds I've completed whist I've been away (not that there are that many!)**** The older members will/may remember that I dabbled exclusively in 1/72 wargaming kits with my (then) young my son - he's now 15!!! Well I do still do that but have also strayed into wingy things in a big way and even away from the one true scale that is 1/72 into some larger kits. That said I've only completed one so far but have many more in the stash! One thing I have been working on in particular is putting together a collection of 1/72 kits and reference material in some way shape or form connected to the British WW2 bomber offensive, with the title being ' The Hunters and the Hunted'. The idea started when, in late 2019, I bought a Messerschmitt Bf110 G-4 nachtjäger (the 110 is one of favourite planes) and I thought it would be nice to have a Lancaster as a 'companion'; queue the arrival of the Lanc in early 2020. Then as so often happens in our world, the the idea mushroomed and went beyond two kits. Therefore, as well as including a number of the obviously 'hunted' British bombers and a surprisingly large number of German nachtjäger 'hunters', it also includes some of the British 'hunters' in the form of nightfighters and other 'intruders' that went hunting for the nachtjägd. And of course these were also hunted by those same German planes. In addition to the wingy things, there will be some 'ground dwelling' kits e.g. AA guns, radar and searchlights. So far I have about 20 kits in the collection. What I have started to do with each builds is put together a short history for each on the planes, the pilot and to some extent the unit concerned, with the hope of putting the kits into into their historical context. Anyway enough waffle!! Great to see you all!! All the best. Andrew **Sorry for not replying individually, but there were an unexpected number of replies, so thank you! ****Mods, would that be ok? I obviously wouldn't swamp the forum with builds that I completed elsewhere but I think the members would enjoy the ones from my 'Hunters and the Hunted' collection. I've also just realised that I finished a build in Feb 2022 that I started on here 'only' seven years ago, so I can legitimately post that!! |

Post them up, if you are concerned it's too many, just start a thread showing the completed builds.
We want to see them.

Well I for one would love to see your 1/72 sale armor and aircraft. I build those two types exclusively in 1/72 scale myself so I am always thrilled to see other people's work in 1/72 scale.
