Post by AMMOMODEL76 »

Hi ,I am Gordon I have been a model maker for 67 years. I started seriously scratch building large models in the 1980s ,Since then I have built a SWEEDISH S Tank, American Lee M3,,German Tiger 1, French 32cm Railroad Gun, French PANHARD AML H90F1, Canadian 12 pounder 3" Deck Gun. Two of these models have won Gold Medals at The International Model Show when it was at Wembley. They were the SWEEDISH S TANK and the LEE M3.Kind Regards Gordon.

Wow! Welcome Gordon! I certainly would enjoy photos (subtle hint). FYI: the 2024 US National IPMS is in Madison, Wisconsin, just a hop, skip, and Geländersprung from my rural home.
Do you have anything in mind for radio control? We‘d love to drive you nuts with too much advice. :D

Welcome Gordon from the shores of the river Clyde. You have a very impressive resume of models. We do need pictures.
