Hi all
My name is Ioan (pronounced Yo-An) and I live in Shropshire UK. I have been an modeller since I was eight years old, (oh dear, that's 57 years ago) I served the usual apprenticeship on Airfix etc and my first power model was a Yeoman Kits "Bantam Cock" a C/L trainer.
About 10 years ago I bought a Flair 1/4 scale Tiger Moth from my LMS. I mostly finished the basic woodwork and then ground to a halt. Having completed a Hobby-Lobby 12' Telemaster (kit, not ARTF) I have some space on my bench. So I dragged the 82a out of the attic and chipped the dust and general detritus off it and now intend to complete what I started. If you are interested, you can see where I am at

I have only just discovered this forum and have been impressed by the wealth of skill and knowledge here. I have "lurked" around some Tiggie build logs and am in awe. To misquote one of the modelling journalists "I am a bog standard modelling savage" so I do not foresee that my Tiggie will be of the high scale standard displayed here but I am going to enjoy finishing it off and will do my best.
Talk soon
Ioan

Hey Ioan, welcome! I am sure the inspiration will get to you and you will at least try some of the stuff you see - you never know, you might discover hidden talents!

Hi Jim
Thank you also.
Someone said that you never finish a scale model, you just stop working on it. Reading these forums, how true that seems
