Hi All, I've been building models for the last7/8 years since a shoulder injury saw me sitting around all day feeling bored. I built models as a kid but then football (soccer to those of you the other side of the pond), girls and beer sort of got in the way. I don't tend to post many of my builds (I have done on another forum but they are having issues and I've already seen lots of names I recognize from there), I tend to just get on with them and forget to take photos so they mostly end up as RFI. I build whatever takes my fancy and have done mostly aircraft mixed with armour, cars (F1, Rally, regular), a helicopter, motorbikes and a few ships.

Good to have you here Steve ( Starspell). You'll find that there is a great amount of talent here from the most helpful and hospitable folks in modeling communities on the internet. What other forums have you been a part of?

Welcome to the show Starspell!! I look forward to seeing some of your builds. I build a little bit of everything myself so I always enjoy seeing others that do the same.

Welcome Steve! It's fun to share one's work with others on forums -- but it can sure slow down your progress! Sounds like you do not have that issue!

Good to have you here Steve ( Starspell ). You'll find that there is a great amount of talent here from the most helpful and hospitable folks in modeling communities on the internet. What other forums have you been a part of? Use FSM and Britmodeller, mostly lurking now, been a while since I posted on either! Life getting in the way of modelling.

Hear you loud and clear on that. Life is always poking its head in the way of my modeling as well. Peck away at it when I can.

I have been on both of those forums under the screen name of mustang1989 for a while now. Like you, I'm a bit of a lurker on both of those forums now.

Welcome aboard Starspell. This is a fun bunch of folks here, even those of us who don't add unnecessary "u"s in words like color and armor ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) I do hope that you will share your work here with us. No snobbery is to be seen here for member skill levels or kit choices.

Nice job! So much to look at and I like the level of weathering.

Photos worked great!! And what a lovely build. As the others have said, fantastic details. A ton to look at and it’s wonderfully done.

Not sure if this is working properly, but hopefully attached are a few images of a ship I did a coupel of years ago, HMS La Malouine (built from Revell 1:72 Snowberry kit) Sort of a commission build for my window cleaner whose grandfather was on her back in the war. He paid for everything and I built it then gave it to him. This was my first ever ship build, one I am very happy and proud of. Assuming this works OK I'll stick more pics in the relevant forums. (I use IMGBB and seem to be having issues seeing/getting my old pics ?!) ![](https://ibb.co/7QdyHNK) ![](https://i.postimg.cc/PxTZkNyj/82.jpg) Yessiree! Your pictures came through great on this end and that is something that I'd be proud of as well. Lotsa detail and good weathering throughout SS. Looking forward to seeing more of your work bud.
