Hi Guys, just a quick intro, I'm a modeler who's been at it since i could walk, I'm deffo not the best but try to get better, i paint minis, (there's a post on here somewhere on my old account that shows some of my work,(tank commander and a Panzer Grenadier if my memory serves correct), I have the old Heng Long Tiger 1 with the RX13/14 board that im working on, and finally getting time to put it back together :)
Got a couple of RC cars I used to race and im also building the old Matchbox Flower class corvette 1/76 scale and converting that to RC with hopefully a working smoke stack

Welcome back :thumbup: :wave: :clap:
As I get older my walking prowess get evermore challenging indeed as my lady recently observed waking up as one gets older is an observers book of what new ache do I have today :lolno:
Glad to have you back on board we need new seasoned old blood in our ranks if only to show these young whippersnappers that we still have some working marbles :clap: :haha:

Welcome back then :)

Don't worry us whippersnappers definitely don't think you have any fully working marbles left anyway hahahahahaa

Enjoy the modelling, i am keen to see the Flower Class Corvette, my father has recently got his one up and running again after a little resto and i had to 3d print some new bits for it which were broken like those side net things, maybe get a picture to show what i mean.
My father got his because his uncle(who unfortunately passed away last year) actually served on a Flower Class Corvette in WW2.

Welcome back MadFox,

I find RC warships to be very cool, even though I've never played with one. Do post some pics when you have the chance. Glad to have you with us...again! :thumbup:

Cheers,
Eric.

Have you ever watched a club fight a sea battle on a lake. If you think we have a problem with tanks trying to imitate F1 cars, the sea battles are more like powerboat races!

I have a Flower class Corvette too but in 1/1200 scale. No space for RC!

General J01,
Never thought about it, but you are so right! :haha:
