HI everybody,

I'm 73 years young and have built models of various kinds throughout my life, latest builds have been Billings Bluenose, Artesania Arab dhow and Artesania HMS Bounty where the rigging caused some anguish so decided to go back to motor vehicles where I spent 25 years of my working life on full size machines including buses.
I have received my first pack of parts for the Hummer and started to follow the stages, this looks like it could be fun, can't wait for next delivery. It's a good thing that I have the case for the Bounty to make so I can keep busy.

Alec
Built: Bluenose, Arab Dhow, HMS Bounty, Hummer H1, D51, Spitfire,E type Jaguar.
In Progress: HMS Victory, , Yamaha YZR-M1

Adapt, improvise, overcome.

Welcome to Modelspace Alec, I'm sure you will love the Hummer build.

You can, if you wish post some pics of your finished builds here - http://forum.model-space...aspx?g=topics&f=100 - I'm sure there would be plenty of interest.

Also, if you have the time we would love to see your progress on the Hummer tooBigGrin

Good luck!

Thanks for the welcome Steve & Mr T. Perhaps you can help, when looking at some posts where there should be a picture all I get is a blue square with a question mark and try as I might I cannot get the picture. Have I not got a setting right on my Macbook?

Its a glitch in the system which is being worked on, but a page refresh usually does the trick.
