Newbie from Brazil

Posted by Anonymous on Monday, December 8, 2003 11:31 AM

Hi all !

My name is Ricardo Ramos and I am from Foz do Iguassu, Brazil. I am married with Caroline Ramos and have a little daughter, Luisa.

I always liked modelling, and I used to build and fly model airplanes. After getting married, I decided to change my attention to a more calm but more precise and detailed hobby.

Plastic models always caught my attention, and I like airliners at most, being WW II aircrafts my second passion.

I am a flight simulation enthusiast and also a plane spotter (newbie spotter too, indeed). I enjoy flying online at Vatsim with my Boeing 767.

I will confess that I tried to assemble some kits in the past, and using putty is a total nightmare to me.

Greetings from Brazil,

Ricardo Ramos

Ramos. Don't worry about the seams. It all comes in time. Just practice until your work satisfies you.

Hello Ricardo,

I live in México City and also new the the forum. I´m married with two children, and one of the things I´ve learned over the years is that the time left for modeling is at a premium when you get to do all the family stuff....I guess you can´t have everything!!!!!
