 Posted: Mon 19 Oct 2009 21:20 pm Post subject: Greetings from Mississippi |
 |
|
I'm Mike and I am an Airfix-aholic.
My main interest is warships, especially since I began reading Douglas Reeman novels thirty years ago.
Recently I finished converting an HMS Tiger to an HMS Fiji, but I don't think my work is up to the level of excellence I have seen from members who post here.
I'm considering a kit bash/conversion of HMS Repulse to HMS Renown. Has anyone here attempted doing that yet?
I'm looking forward to learning from each of you,
Mike
