Hello from York

Hi all, my name is Steve. As a kid I was always messing with all kinds of modelling. At the ripe old age of 57 with more time on my hands I thought I would get back into it. I have a HL tiger 1 shop return that had a broken bb gun. Easy fix but I am upgrading as much as possible with taken hull, 5:1 steel gears, metal wheels and tracks etc. Rather than fix the bb I thought I would get a recoil taigen barrell. This was probably a mistake and will be the subject of another HL post. I'm trying to get the weight up and everything working then have a go at the paint job. Should keep me busy

Hello and welcome Steve
I'm a Southern Softie down even further in Surrey.
Enjoy the forum, and hopefully you'll find the answers you seek.

Welcome, Steve, from the Highlands.

As a kid, I spent a few years living in Knaresborough, before the great retreat north of the Border. Always liked tykes, and your Barraclough's Dandelion and Burdock pop (
Yep, and I actually prefer it to Irnbru

)

You've not been listening to John Shuttleworth by any chance, have you, Mick? If not, you can watch the whole of his 'Southern Softies' on Youtube...
