Greeting from LincolnshireHi, joined to-day. I'm a retired old sould now living in Lincolnshire - but originally from Lancashire, (via lots of other places). Interests include building scale models;cars.'planes/AFV's and have a number on the go.............but saving the Pocher 1:8 scale Alfa Romeo until I get braver. Used to have a large collection of Dinky's when I were nobbut a lad, including all the single-seat race cars, (which we used to race down a sand track at school), and the B.R. Horsebox which was always my favourite. Left them at home in "safe storage" when I got married only to find, 6 months later, that my Mum had given them all away; "I didn't think you'd still want all those old toys". Aaaaarrrrgggghhhh. 
Thought I might try some resto work as a change, and this seemed like a good place to start.

Hi Fred_Bear
A big welcome, you will find this site very informative, I to have moved into restoring old Corgi/Dinky cars after years of building plastic kits.
Its been great fun and I am enjoying it
Those Poacher kits are expensive arn't they, I know someone with an old Alfa Romeo that he's built, It looks fantastic but took ages to build, I think there was over 1000 parts, each wheel was individually spoked
Enjoy the site

welcomeHi Fred, welcome. This is indeed the right place for information about restos. What we will not tell you is, that once our resto's are finished, we take pictures very quickly, because they fall apart very soon after.
By the way, we all had that sort of mother.

Welcome FredHello Fred and welcome to the forum. I also know someone who has a Pocher. A Jag, I think. He has not built it but had it for years. Lots and lots of work, but worth it. They are beautiful. It isn't a hobby, it's a life to build one of those. Agaun wekcome. You will have fun on here.....guaranteed..

..That is what I meant Gaz! Or did you think the finished models fell apart by themselves.

...NCC, my wife is not callled Spenny, for sure, just forgot the ",". Though, by the way she spends money, I suppose I could call her Spenny. She is called Jerry though. I think because of the cans.
