Nik Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 Hi, My name is Nick and my hobby is making models, mainly military figures, vehicles, aircraft and the occaisional ship/boat. My interest in this site was due to my particular interest in British military vehicles in the WWII and immediate postwar era. Being an ex Army brat I lived in Cyprus during the Suez Crisis an the Cypriot EOKA campaign. Currently I am researching stuff to build models that I would have seen at this time. My latest builds include an AFV Club Centurion of 6RTR in the Suez, and a Daimler Armoured Car Mk II in a Cypriot vignette. I'll post images later when I've got the hang of it, in the mean time I'll be souring this site for reference material. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This site is full of very experienced people so I am sure it will assist in many aspects of your modelling, also please let me know if you ever come across a decent PLASTIC scale model kit of the Daimler Ferret . I heard a rumour that Revell were going to do one ? Cheers anyway ! Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"The model kit is simple to construct but with no compromises on detail and satisfying for both novice and experienced modeller alike." http://www.accurate-armour.com/showaaproducts.cfm?category=20&subcategory=6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nik Posted April 2, 2010 Author Share Posted April 2, 2010 Thanks for the welcome guys. I've found the modelling forums and will post photos there. As for the Daimler Armoured car as far as I am aware the only plastic kit is the Hasegawa (sorry about the spelling) 1/72 scale which is still availabe but very old. Accurate armour do the Mk I & II in resin and these are relatively easy to build. Cheers Nick PS how do I keep track of topics in the forums that interest me?
