Yes zak, THE (pink) David Gilmour…. I’ve long been a modeller of 1/72nd but probably 1/48th…

Right up my street... I have several of these kits squirreled away...

Here is the next project with a change from the greys and greens. Can't decide whether to do the army version or the NASA version yet.

... Can Trevor get me a discount on the new Airfix Buccaneer?¿¿¿¿???

Patience is a virgin... or summink like that!

Yes Haddock they have just flown past my window as well - think it will be a while to get this finished, the brass davits etc are very slow work, but as long as I am enjoying the making its OK with me. 
I have never been bothered about having finished models to show people, its the actual making of the model I enjoy. That could be why I flit from model to model and put them down when the FUN/ENJOYMENT is not at full level.  BEFORE anybody take me to task for my comments - just remember its a hobby and not life or death ( that's football - hohohho)

For me it is the process as well, keeps me busy, but maybe not out of mischief!

Morning everyone...

My name's Chris and I'm an alcoholic.... ooops!

My name's Chris and I'm a non-modelling modeller. By which I mean that I used to be/intend to be/am at heart a scale plastic modeller. I'm actually hoping that, now that I've been invited to join this motley crew... errr... august band, I will be inspired to actually build something. I am in fact very involved with the hobby but circumstances have dictated that it has been quite some time (understatement) since I completed anything. I've been a bit 'nomadic' since I left Bridlington at the age of 17 to join the air force and my most prolific bout of plastic-assembling was probably during my time in Stafford, as a member of the local IPMS Branch. I am currently lodged in a foreign country (just a few miles from Chester but in Wales) so attendance at Driffield meetings may be a bit of a stretch.

Having said that, I do count several Brid and Wolds members as good friends and I always enjoy the times that we DO spend together so you never know... I visit Brid (infrequently) and I will make an effort to coincide with a meeting. I had tentative plans to locate back to East Yorkshire at some point but, as my other half has become a doting 'nanny' during the pandemic, this now seems a remote possibility. Still, never say never...

I look forward to getting to know a few more of you and, in the meantime, trying to work out where I can find the space to build a few items from my 'stash' which, if any proof were needed of my credentials, is probably larger than most of you can possibly imagine!. Anyone fancy opening a shop???

Oh, subjects of interest are varied - mainly post-WWII to present day aviation. UK and European for preference but not carved in stone. In fact, one stalled project is a boat diorama! And I take photographs, partly for a living and partly for the pleasure.

That's me for now!


 

Hi Chris, nice to have you as a member.
Now you can reveal all.

Remind me to post my pics of ‘Dismaland’...

'dark side' or 'zombie world'
