Hi everybody, just discovered this forum. It's like reading old Airfix magazines!
I started modelling when I was 8. My first model was the little Golden Hind in a plastic bag with pre-molded plastic waves.
I kept on modelling ( I'm 55 now

)
I'm interested in small scale military stuff. Specially British WW2.
Used the Airfix models for conversions and I already discovered lots of conversion ideas on the forum.
I also build 54 mm historical figures ( Dutch army troughout the ages)
Using the fabulous Collector series.
In future I will post some pics of my work.
Now back to the forum to read more

I'm headmaster on a primary school and live in the Netherlands. Anyone else on this forum from Holland?

Paul

Hi Paul
welcome to ATF

one thing bothers me. If you are the headmaster of a Primary School, how come you have the time and energy left over for modelling????

You're right. I dont have much time. But teachers have a lot of holidays and when it's raining I have the time to go to my hobby room.So give me a lot of vacation and bad weather

You're in the right place. The focus here is on the spirit of modeling circa 1968... a very good year, despite what the history books say!
