Finally got around to joining the IPMS. at the Hinckley show on Sunday. Many thanks to the guys manning the IPMS stand for so skilfully extracting £20 from my tight grip while surrounded by all those kits I wanted to buy ;-)
I am fairly new to modelling, about 18 months, but I am learning techniques and applying them to my growing collection of models. I mainly do armour and military vehicles with a few aircraft and motor bikes.
Look forward to learning and hopefully contributing to the hobby via this forum.

Paddy welcome to the forum. You obviously had a word with Colin aided by his minder Alfie at Hinckley, I certainly wouldn't argue with them. I was also at Hinckley yesterday upstairs in the quiet room with the competition, nearly went to sleep for the day although I did bag a bargain. I look forward to seeing you join in with the discussion threads, loads to choose from ... you don't by any chance enjoy the antics of 'Wallace and Gromit' do you? ... there's a special board on the forum for the members of the Beyond the Box SIG and the Olympics are the theme for this year. Whatever your interest, there's something on the forum for you.

Thanks for the welcome, yep, no one would argue with "The Management" would they lol. Seriously though, a great couple of guys and very helpful.
I had a quick look around the competition room after the judging closed but I had to leave before the results were called. I saw the big Vietnam with elephants dio at the Peterborough show, something to aspire to.
The W&G Olympics build sounds great fun, the pictures of the 'Gadgets' were amazing. never tried anything like this, I will have to give it some thought.
