Well, I just opened a forum question in Armor this morning and have some great answers already !....So I thought I would introduce myself....some what anyway.
I've been modeling like most of you guys since I was in grade school starting with cars, airplanes, and a few military models. then my brother introduced me to model railroading back in the early 70's and I've been hooked on that ever since....even did it professionally for about 10 years, mostly in HO and HOn3.
About 6 months ago I became interested in military modeling again and now it's another one of my passions !! My main interest right now is in WWII German armor and figures and I'm trying to rebuild my military collection which was over 300 models at one time ! But now I can definitely say that after modeling highly detailed models in HOn3 for a living, I can build ANYTHING with confidence.
I have written articles for a couple web sites on weathering, and building train models and I'm hoping to do the same with German armor/figures through this forum. This is actually the first forum I've joined and I'm looking forward to becoming involved with all of you, and maybe offering some good advice and handy tips now and then.....AND getting some back from some of the fantastic modelers here !!
This will be right around my 40th year in building models...give or take a few years....WOW..THAT LONG !!!
Anyway, good luck with all your projects and I look forward to showing you all some of my work, and from what I've seen on here already, I'm in great company !!
Happy Modeling !
