Please do not feel embarassed to post on this forum. It matters not what
experience you have in building models whether it be Airfix 1/72
aircraft or military vehicles or even the giant 1/16 kits that are now
available.

I know that you are watching this forum in vast numbers :D

If you need an answer to a question PLEASE post the question 8)

You will always receive an answer in fairly quick time.

Yes there are many engineers and fantastic builders here but about the
only thing you will ever receive a query about is not your build quality
but your paint scheme :?:

These Armotek models are about the best kits you could ever wish to
own :D

I wish I could pin a post to the top of the page :(

Best regards to you all.

Stewart

Well said Stewart . Tim and I have been talking about this for months now !!! With about 80 or more new kits going out around the world this year alone ,these are big numbers in the 1/6 world ..We both thought there would have been lots of moment on the new forum ... It would be nice to here from new members and their thoughts of their kits and their plans on which version they are going to build ... As Stewart has talked about above this is the place for help no matter how small .. This forum has NEVER been Competitive ..we all have our own style .. I have picked up so many good ideas from everyone on this forum which i would have never known about if we did not have the internet .. Dale .

Girls Paul? 8)

Many thanks for the replies guys :D

Once you new comers to this forum have decided to bite the bullet and
post a picture this is how you do it, Simples :wink:

Simply open a free picture hosting account like www.photobucket.com
and upload the picture of your vehicle build. Then click on the image and
you should see a drop down box that has four lines, the bottom one being
img meaning image. Click on that and it should turn blue and then right click on it and select copy.

Leave the page open and then make a post on this forum and post your message and to post your picture click paste, viola 8)

Regards Stewart
