| Well, as an English speaking Irish citizen living in England, I am honoured to volunteer.
I wish now I had worked even harder at French back in the late 60s at school.
But I think I am still better than Google Translate. I laugh every time I hear about "the leather workers" for Cuirassiers or "Porpoises" for "the Dolphins".
Also not sure that my work is up to the standard I am seeing here, but I hope to show some.....with Google Translate to "help"?

| This is a great welcome, to someone who does not even speak great French. (Indeed I only have two or three words in the language of my own nationality!)
My GMC 2x50 calibre surprised me. I did not know it existed! Until the images appeared on the 2eme DB site about the GMC Bofors in Paris, I had never seen them. My Bofors GMC is a mixture of different styles and not as accurate as you will see modelled there.
Already I have seen incredible modelling here. Every M4 Sherman has an engine! Every tank has a detailed interior. Most of mine are not even painted white because I put in crew figures to fill the hatch (501 RCC, 12 RCA, 12 Cuirassiers etc)
Elvington? Still a marvellous place to visit. The best airshow I have ever seen, some years ago. Very enthusiastic and expert folk who run the place.
I must again thankyou for this invitation. I also must learn how to post images here (so far everything that I did went on The Miniatures Page, but Clement did show some of my models on his Braillestrike Facebook page....his work is great)

| Well thank you again!
i cannot understand why others have not joined here. I can understand French better than my tries to speak it, but the Partagez translate does it well. Let us blame Brexit. I lost ten pounds the morning we heard the result of the vote. I bet my two younger sons it would never happen. I could never happen....
Well I have "opened the batting" they say in cricket and posted my first topic!
The work shown here is just incredible though. Mine is........well I am happy with my 2eme DB collection. Next, the Trumpeter M4A3 75 (that needs much work to improve it)

| Great to see you finally joined the forum Liam!
Don't hesitate to show your work to others, there are a lot of very knowledgeable people here and they will give you great tips on even the smallest details. Whether you are into historicaly accurate models, superdetailed gems, or you simply want to have fun painting a model out of the box, you'll find a great place of exchange here.
See you on the message board

| Clem,
I thought I would struggle as my French speaking can maybe get me a beer or something to eat, even catch a train or ask for directions. But I have already learnt how to insert images here. The "partagez" translate into English works very well actually. The modelling here? OK I am not in that league, but it is inspiring! It will make me work better.
Without Braillestrike? Nothing. I wish you made the models as well. Try to find a Dodge Weapons carrier, an M8 or M20 Armoured Car, even the M32 ARV is suddenly hard to get. An M31, forget it! Not in 1/72.
