I am now 65 yo and after leaving school I joined the British Army, serving with 1QLR. After leaving the Army I joined the Prison Service and served for 35 years, all served in the Greater London area, where I still reside. I am a Lancashire lad and maybe one day I will return to God's country. I am now happily retired.
I am a long time modeller and now that I have gone part time at work, even more time to do all those models out there and yet to come.

Happy New Year to all.
Adding to my US Navy theme is Hobbyboss's Grumman F-14A Tomcat.
As with other Hobbyboss kits, this one allows for a good few options and I opted to have a few access panels open to show the added detail included in [...]
Delighted with my unexpected yet very welcome random draw prize.
Will go on modelling projects pile and will display once completed.
Thank you I Modeller!
Returning to my US Navy theme, one of my all time favourite aircraft the McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom.
The Academy version is a very nice model and certainly benefits from modern moulding technology. The one piece main fuselage is a big [...]
Amongst my favourite modelling themes is US Navy aviation during its grey and white period and those colourful squadron markings. So I'd like to start my US Navy theme with the Grumman A-6A Intruder.
