VERY late intro...

Posted by Anonymous on Saturday, November 29, 2003 5:08 PM

Hi everyone! I have been enjoying the forum and posting a bit for nearly a year now and I just realized I have never introduced myself here! OOPS! [:0]

My name is Mark and I have been building models since I was about 8 years old. After 25 years in the hobby, I still have a deep love of kits of all kinds. In addition to building, I also collect. I have nearly 150 kits waiting on the shelf for my attention.

I grew up in Montana and have now made Eau Claire, Wisconsin my home. I recently began my career as a full-time father (I have two beautiful children) and, as you might guess, I have virtually no time in my life to work on a model.

My interests lie in several subject categories from armor, trucks and modern military jets to sci-fi and even the occasional dinosaur! I have greatly enjoyed reading discussion threads here and I look forward to reading and contributing to many more.

Regards,

Mark

I would say welcome but I'm sure you know by now how glad we are you are one of us. Wink [;)]

You say you collect, what are your collecting interests?

Well, other than models, I collect coins, books, DVD movies, FSM magazine, some toys and board games. My most active collections right now are models and DVDs. I have found ebay to be the perfect place to feed my collecting addiction!

Don't feel bad Mark. I never did one of these myself. I figured by the time I realized it, it was too late. Tongue [:P]
