Hi Guys
New member from Sheffield UK
Names Dave new to card modelling, bought a couple of plane models from FG and Ecardmodels and now I've got the bug.
Hoping for advise and tips from you guys to produce models of the same quality I've seen on this site.
Cheers for now
Dave

Welcome aboard Dave: So what models do you have? If you have one from Ecardmodels, Chances are that there is a build thread for it here or over at Zealot. Enjoy the hobby and get addicted. By the way, with a moniker of Para-Dave, do you happen to be a parachutist, or para-sail aviator.

Welcome, Dave! Many of us have started out with FG.... Now I have enough models to keep me busy for a century or so.... VERY ADDICTIVE!

Welcome, Dave! A nice, clean build as designed is the best place to start. There are some inspiring build threads here - but try to work up to the serious obsession level slowly.

In the 50s!.... Those were the days of the b... busting T-7 chutes. Jumping out of balloons to get your wings and the good old Dakotas. I sit around and reminiscence of those old days and say to myself, 'My God, did I actually do that when I was young and dumb?'
