I build some of my own buildings and other structures from scratch, also have made one or two items of rolling stock, but do more "kit bashing". Do I qualify?
Would certainly support your idea of a forum, perhaps it would inspire us all to become more adept at this advanced form of the hobby.
What do our moderators think? Would there be enough support? If you are reading this and you want to have a go, "let your fingers do the talking" and post a comment.

I think your ideas are spot on Denis, I too don't want to see a "scratch building elite" forum develop, where the emphasis is just on locos and rolling stock. I've seen too many instances of modelling snobbery over the years - more than enough to last the rest of my life! Let's encourage the "have a go at something different" approach I say. I think "builders corner", or something similar, is appropriate and will prove popular. Check out the amount of replies already if you don't believe me. Can't wait to see a strong forum where good ideas and projects can be shared for the benefit of all.
