Hi to all forum members.My name is Andrew,Andy or "Balders", take your pick.Call me anything, but don't call me late for dinner!
I have been an active member of my local R/C boat club for about 14 years.Building and sailing anything that takes my fancy.
Last year I was asked to build and convert to R/C a Revell 1:72 scale kit of HMSC SNOWBERRY and it really re-kindled boyhood memories of building(rather badly) plastic kits.I had been looking at various model building websites for a couple of years and the big show at Telford came onto my radar.I am hoping to attend this year but it always coincides with a boat show at Warwick on the same weekend.We shall have to see how the funding goes and try and do both.
I am also learning to fly with a powered glider,just about ready to be let free of the buddy lead!
I also have a couple of R/C cars and will be attending the National rockcrawling do on near Black Rocks in Derbyshire around May bank with a mate who shares the enthusiasm for all things R/C.
I'M a billy no mates when it comes to plastic kits so I will be probably asking you good folks here lots of daft questions over my time on here.
That'll do for know folks as I don't want to bore you all too much ,too soon.Hope to get to know a few of you over the coming days,weeks and months.
Perhaps you've all heard it before but.......WHAT IS THE PRICE OF A KIT?
There's the price you paid,
The price you tell your wife you paid,
the price she thinks you paid,
and the price you pay when she finds out what you really paid.
