Such as Anigrand
Welsh Models.

yeah.. stranger/less common versions.
MattP is rather generously sending down some FoxOne and trumpeter instructions for me to scan and post.
Here is an oldie, I was actually going through some of the endless folders and photos I have on my computer. On my journey through time and space I found this old but interesting photo that got me thinking. Maybe, I should follow through on a thought I had in the past to bring...
I'm sending you a happy hello from Germany. My name is David and I'm 44 years old. I've been building model airplanes since I was 7 years old. Actually, I mainly build in 1/72 but I've built more 1/144 models lately. At the moment I'm having a lot of fun building the Winzling...

A belated welcome from me as well! I have already taken a look at all the great stuff you brought with you, and my first thought was Dang, another one raising the bar! . :D
I'm afraid I'm some distance away as well measured by European standards... I spend my life half in the...
I'm back to modelling after being away for the last 11 years. I hope to have have time to modelling now and to contribute to this forum.
Best regards from Brazil

“Like you, I had a hiatus between models that exceeded a decade” - Heck, I feel like I’ve been working on my latest M6A Seiran for the last decade! Does that count as a hiatus?
Hello, folks. I wanted to introduce myself to the forum since I've finally registered. I'm a builder of primarily 1/144 scale models and thought this would be a good place to pick up some tips and tricks.
I work for a company that manufacturers aviation training equipment for...

Welcome and greetings from Germany.
I have been selling my 3d printed models through Shapeways for 13 years now and it's not so easy to predict which models will sell well. I usually don't make conversion sets so I cannot comment on them but for my models, the best sellers are...
I'm Spacebar. Love the 144 scale model!

I have just come across this forum courtesy of a fellow modeller in Australia. My name is Matt and I have just returned to the model-building world after a long hiatus. I am from Melbourne, Australia.

He seemed like such a pleasant guy, too. It was really nice to have him around. Man, this is a bummer. I'm really at loss for words.
Hello-I am a born and raised MA native in FL because of retirement and lower cost of living, not really by choice. I lived not far from 2 large AFBs in western MA, Barnes and Westover. Loved watching the black belly B-52s in late '60s when I was a teen headed to the Far East. I...

A belated welcome from Bomber County in the UK.
The bombers have since departed, with the retirement of the Vulcans both from active service and display flights but we are graced by regular overflights by the Battle of Britain flights Lancaster, plus the Spitfire and...
Well - color me oblivious, I only now discovered this site has a discussion forum! I've been lurking on its front page for years, and am delighted to add this dimension.
To be perfectly honest, at my age 1/144 models may be a bit beyond my eyes and hands, for...

A very warm welcome to our global collection of modelling misfits! As Tim said, feel free to upload pics of your non-1/144 creations, too. And, with that handle of yours, we are expecting at least one Ki-45! ;)
There's a number of us Old Timers who question ourselves on a...
So hello from the Rockies. Have only recently got into 1/144, but in deep.
I am focusing on Cold War history, with both sides missiles & the classic aircraft.
Started this Winter with one of those ancient US Missiles by Monogram in that strange 1/128
Very dirty from storage, I...

I share your passion for Cold War equipment, both aviation and vehicles, and I'm looking forward to seeing your builds!

Welcome Rodrigo!!! Y'all gonna love it here! We're NOT a bunch of rivet-counters . If it looks good, it IS good! Personally I can't tell you when I actually finished a model. They're all in a state of various up-grades ... :lol:
My modelling skills are not the greatest, but I recently discovered the F-Toys line of pre-painted easy to assemble warplanes. So I am trying to find more information about them.
Cheers,
Gene

Welcome from here, too! It took a little longer to realize you're here - the Eifel is a rather remote area and in this cold and damp weather the drums don't always work properly . . .
Looking forward to seeing some of your models soon!

I'm almost a lifelong modeller, with a broad interest in subjects and scales... with a mediocre result if I'm able to finish something (big problem for me, I love building, painting not that much)
I love reading about the subjects, digging into the background and extending my...
Hello to all
My interest is 1/144 modelling, as I like to say that my preferred are the models that fit on the palm of the hand.
Primary interested in existing models but also try to create, draw own 3D models and order 3D prints.
I think that the 3D printing is fantastic toll...

Hi & welcome, just got onboard mysef, this is as i thought too 👌
I love 1:144 aircraft, as they are far more easily stored and yet the kits still allow for good detail.
I use them primarily for wargaming for WWI, WWII, and modern eras, usually employing a little What If supported by history. Thus I'll sometimes create...

Thank-you for the warm welcome, Folks!
Speaking to my wargaming, I've always found the 3D visual aspect of gaming to be immensely satisfying AND provides great spectacle for other players and onlookers.
Have materials on the way for my first WWI builds - looking forward to...

Hello,
I've been modelling solely in 1/144 for a few years now, this looks like a great place for info and I might get involved with a group build.
Some may know me from other groups, here is some of my work.
