Thought I should post in the proper place to introduce myself.
I have just returned to modelling after an 18 year break. I have returned with a massive project on the work bench, a 1/350 Tamiya new tool IJN Yamato and IJN utility boat kit to keep me busy for a while. As if that wasnt enough I have also picked up photo etch sets from LionRoar, Pontos and KA Models (MK1).
I am currently just over a month into the build. Recently I was given a Revell USS Voyager for my birthday from SWMBO to start my 'stash' off. I have plans of getting this lit up when I get started.
Been lurking here for a while but thought I would introduce myself properly after signing up for the Millennium falcon subscription.

Welcome to the forum. Looking forward to your build, will be interesting to see how the new tooled kit stands up to recent dragon releases Jase “Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.”

Thanks for welcome guys.
Im really enjoying my Yamato build. I am currently jumping back and forth in the manual doing lots of different things. I have been at it for about 2 months now and it just seems like not much has been done. I did know when I purchased it and all the Photo Etch that this was going to be a long build.

Sorry to dig up my old intro thread but wasnt to sure where to post this yet as its not quite a kit review I have not decided what I like building at the moment, although everything I have or am building so far I am really enjoying. I have been buying things that I like the look of though and here is the latest addition that I got from a Facebook model sale and swap site. Looks like and amazing kit, the box is massive  and yet again it is crammed full of sprues    I am starting to get a stash developing

A friend of mine built that Bradley from Meng, he raved about it. I have the Tortoise, I think Meng are going to be a big contender in the model kit market!!!
