                        to register for the draft. Having just registered here, seems this sight is unnecessarily complicated. Will try it out again, but my second visit may well be my last

                        Welcome to FSM echo4bravo.
                        Sorry to hear that you think the forums are a little on the complex side. I will admit they did take a little time to get used to them when I first logged on, but it soon becomes second nature. I hope your next visit is more pleasant for you and you will decide to join this family of modellers.

                        Welcome to the forums, Echo4bravo. Do stay around. You'll get the hang of it. It took me a while to know most of the things, myself, but now Im just hooked.

                        OK, fine, I'll stick it out a while. How do you reply to a specific post?
                        To Shrike the original plan was to build every make, model, and mark of everything that ever had the Eagle, Globe and Anchor painted on the side. Research showed that would run to 700+ kits. Two problems right off: Storage/display space, and I'm cheap
                        (which is good, cause I'm poor). Trimmed the list to a single example of each type which will still run to 200. Only about a quarter of which are available as kits.
                        Except for the OOP Esoteric vacs does anybody know a source of 1920's/'30 Navy types?

                        Welcome to the forums. We are a good bunch of lunitics modelers.

                        To respond to an specific post just say their name (like you did), or quote them. That takes some practice, you can't learn it all at once . Take it easy, and just do what you feel comfortable doing.

                        Any particular scale? There are a number of kits available if you look at 1/72 or 1/48th. There are even a few 1/32 scale planes. Some kits are OOP, but you can find them at club meets and on eBay.

                        You mean, how do you quote other people like above? The word "quote" can be seen on the upper right of every post. clicking on that brings you to the "post a new reply" screen with the desired message already typed up in the box. nevermind about all the square brackets, etc... just type your message below.

                        Don't worry, i'm cheap too! and i have limited space as well! maybe you should be going with 1/72nd stuff since they're smaller and (more importantly) cheaper! Wink [;)]
