Title: newbie from Wales
Post by: Welshtrooper on April 23, 2010, 11:20:02 pm

Hi all, just thought I would introduce myself to you, I Graham from Llandudno in North Wales and I,m about to embark on building the Bismark by Hachette. Although I have made plastic model kit aircraft before, I am a total newbie to this sort of model build. I am sure throughout the course of the build that I can draw on your expertise and advice. I am hoping to make the Bismark an RC working model with moving guns and lights and sounds(hopefully). So wish me luck lol. %%

Hi Welsh Trooper

Welcome aboard.
I hail from Colwyn Bay, but have now escaped to China.
If you have not already done so, try to hook up with the guys at Colwyn Bay and Llanberis, there are a few Mayhemmers in North Wales.

Hi Martin, I got my Bismark on subscription from Hachette, to make sure I got all the issues, didnt want to risk missing any and falling foul. Hi Tiger, yes I,m going over the Colwyn Bay tomorrow to join the boating club, so should get extra help from them too, covering all the bases so to speak.
