Hi all, i've just registered on this fantastic site, can't understand how i've not seen this site before.
I have been modelling for many years and model mostly 1/35 armour of the modern british kind. I also like to do 120mm figures and am a member of Salisbury IPMS. Cheers,

Howdy SniperSmudge,
Mighty glad ya found us! Believe me, you're going to have a ball!
I only have one serious warning for you though...........this place is

So relax, pull up a chair, and just let the Armorama mind control machine take over.........................
Tread.

SniperSmudge -
Welcome to Armorama! As the others have said and you'll soon see, this is without a doubt THE BEST modeling site to be associated with. The help, ideas, support, info, references, tips, everything is readily made available and given with a spirit of "family." Since you're into 1/35 armor, why not jump into one of the Campaigns (go to "Campaigns" right under "Home" on topic list). We're starting the "Ardennes Campaign" this weekend. Glad to have you here and hope to see/hear more from you.
