Hello from Finland

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

What Ian doesn't know is we have secretly traced is DNA:
15% Serb
11% Finnish
10% Andalusian
7.89% Trinidadian
0.45% creole
0.1111111% Italianate Swiss
0.0000006% Orc


The rest is identified as 'Not of terrestrial origin'!

Ultimately, we are all star stuff. The journey's our ancestors took to get us to where we are now, insignificant in terms of time and space.

Yeh man, far out. Pass the smoke....

...... or a Signal Box clearly marked "Oakham."

I'm not picking on you quoting two posts.  I just had to say I drive past this signal box quite often. It is in the centre of Oakham overlooking a level crossing.

I'll shut up now. 

Aksu you are very welcome and I hope you enjoy the new scale. There is a danger of overbuying and exceeding painting speed capacity, you'll know when you get to that stage as Leon comes and visits you, he then massages your shoulders and puts the paintbrush back in your hands.

Not feeling picked on at all

My Airfix equivalent sat next to the level crossing on my little Hornby 3-rail train set layout. Games often involved a German assault on the outpost defending the level crossing which had to hold out long enough to allow the Brits to set up a defence in the village in the middle of the board.

Hello Aksu, and welcome to the place where it all happens.

I too started with Airfix and the wise words of Don Featherstone. Still have most of the Airfix stuff today, including a Churchill tank with a bent gun.

the wise words of Don Featherstone

As in "4, 5, 6 there's a kill"?

[fsn]

Certainly!

[Aksu]

Thank you all for the warm welcome! This certainly sounds like a jolly nice place to be
This might be a bit of a faux pas to post this on this thread, apologies, but anyway I'll try and attach my first ever pic of my first ever 10 mm paint job, a Union regiment marching.

[Ithoriel]

Ooh! Nice! I like those.

Lots of ACW paint jobs on the forum just now. I'm beginning to feel I'm missing out

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Not a faux pas at all, great painting!

[fred.]

Nice work on the figures, and welcome

[nikharwood]

Welcome, Aksu - nice ACW figures 

[Subedai]

As if we really needed someone else who's a decent paintsmith!

Lovely stuff, and I like the size of that unit.

[Leman]

Very nice painting and looking excellent en masse.
