Hi Guys

What keeps the modelling fires burning for you?

Books?

Movies?

Documentaries?

Reference books?

True life tales?

Regards

Hi Sean,
Good to see you back online. I find my best stimulation comes from books. I just LOVE reading!

This site plays a big part in fuelling my modelling fire but TV, Movies do play a part....especially when i see a tank go past and i would be wishing i had one so making the model brings me that much closer to it.

Hi Andy

Its great to be back on line my friend.


I quess I am like Andya nd rely on books.

I like reading real life stories eg a crew in a WW2 in Russia trapped etc got to defend themselves.

Plus I like technical books etc.

My favourite book of all time in Panzers in Normandy Then and Now.

Hi SS Panzer

Sorry to hear about your sky hey its all about pririoties as regards funds sometimes. I am lucky if I watch more than 7 hours tv a week therefore I see no need to get sky or even a new tv. Seems a real waste of money.

I love your call sign/name got to be the coolest around.

You can tell I am a WW2 German fan LOL.

As Andy knows my place is an Olive Drab free zone. LOL

Fordboy
