Hello! After spendng way too much time on Facebook, tired of of fighting bots, ads and worse to find some info or share some, I finally decided to get back to things that do what it says on the box, forums.
I’m now 60, have been scale modelling for over 52 straight years. I have lived in the US (NJ and KY) for 3 years, in the UK (Kent) for 22 years, and I am now back ‘home’ in Belgium, near the city of Liège in the eastern part of the French-speaking area of the country, where I grew up.
My scale modelling interests are numerous and very varied, from aircraft to ships, from AFVs to cars, from figures to real spacecraft, from SF to Chibis and to a strange fascination with Minions..! I work in various scales, from 1/10 to 1/700, with slight preferences for 1/72, 1/144 and 1/200.
I am since 2005 the owner and main pattern-maker of a little scale modelling company that offers various resin kits that illustrate pretty well my varied interests. Old-school pattern making, but I’m slowly getting involved in CAD and 3D printing. However, I still build and paint ‘just for fun’ too and I’m still member, as well as librarian and secretary, of the local model club I joined back in 1979.
I look forward to sharing stuff with you all!

Welcome to the forum.
Not too many bots here, thankfully. Just keep your BS meter calibrated.

Domi, that’s great and glad to hear you’re in good form (unlike yours truly!)
This is a pretty good site; packed full of helpful modellers, always willing to share and add to the corporate knowledge. I rely on them a lot, especially when I’m modelling something obscure from the Cold War.
'Really pleased you’re here. Enjoy!

Welcome Domi - talk about membership credentials, it would be difficult to top your qualifications, including perfect English which I for one never take for granted. I see you’ve spent plenty of time amongst the perfidious (of whom I am one), but even so I admire those who master this crazy & frequently abused language. Looking forward to seeing your builds.

Thanks for your welcome and kind words! I hope not to disappoint you.. My English has lost a bit of its quality since I moved back to Belgium. The French-speaking Belgians are not renowned for their language skills.. LOL

Great to see you joining here Domi @djmodels! I still have a half built RetroTracks M75, that I picked up at Telford many years ago, I probably spoke with you then?
I need to get my finger out and finish the M75!
Welcome!
Hi Terry! Have not been back to Telford since I left the UK in 2015, I think? Been a while in any case! Yes, you need to complete this Full Track! I hope to see it one of those days on this forum. Won’t be tomorrow, I know, but do not wait too long!!

Domi, in case you’re feeling disheartened, you can always fall back on mine:
I remember when I first showed it you at the Belgian Plastic & Steel show one year, I recall you saying, with no small astonishment, “Oh! You’ve built it then?”
Come on Terry!
