Let me introduce myself
Posted by Mukendi on Friday, April 15, 2011 5:47 AM

Cowboy Good morning / afternoon / night, guys,

I´ve made a step forward, and I´ve decided to join this forum... I´been reading you guys for some time, but finally I decided to get into it.

I´m a re-enlisted modeller: I made a "stop" in 1.994: the main cause was "The Life".

Two years ago I was ready to a new modelling-beginning: I found amazingly that internet had changed all that I had seen before: absolutely all related to modelling: the infor sources and the enabled communication possibilities favored that (at least in my case) a lot of techniques, materials, and hardware were a lot more (astronomic rate) accesible than before.

I´m a slow-pace builder, and looking at your models and your knowledge, I openly recognize that I must learn & practice & follow your works & lessons a lot to improve myself. I hope so.

I live in Valencia, Spain (well, really at 25 klicks, near Sierra Calderona). I live with my wife and my four WONDERFUL female-dogs (three of them were abandoned dogs). I love animals and nature, a lot. I feel great respect for them.

See you guys,

and thanks in advance for your welcome.

Roberto / "Mukendi"

Welcome Sign The weather has to be better in Spain than here in fly-over country.  Yes, it's a great forum with lots of skilled and friendly builders.

Science is the pursiut of knowledge, faith is the pursuit of wisdom.  Peace be with you.

Hey your welcome.  Yea you got it.  I love building planes, currently working on an F-16E for a Group Build, also have an F-14 sitting half finished that is next on the list.  But i have also had my hand in armour and also ships.  I currently have a Group build that i started called "shiver Me Timbers Ship Group Build" thats pretty cool you should check it out some time.

But yea I love the Group Builds, theirs pretty much something for everyone out their right now.  Their great their awsome for conversation and i think really focus the topics.  Also if you need help or ideas about the subject and join up in the build their great for that too.

Ola Roberto....

 

A warm (25 deg centigrade) welcome from the Netherlands! I'm quite new here as well, but love it already!! You got yourself settled well with a wife and a harum of female doggies...I'm a dog lover and owner myself, I have an English Bull-Terrier named Sherman (I wonder why....LOL).

 

Hope to see some of your work in the future....Enjoy, John. Cool

Hola again,

 

BaBill212, yes, they have a beautifully nice & lovely behavior, and they´re always near me. Wherever I go, they usually come after me or my wife. But on saturdays, Sundays or holydays they don´t let me stay in bed, because a little after first light they become very active and ask for their breakfast. Oh, man they become almost crazy when we give them a little piece of hard bread.

 

You can really say that I´m “unusual”, but I´ve told very seriously to my wife that if I die, I want my ashes to be with theirs. They´re absolutely loyal and faithful.

 

Hey, DRAGONWAGON, thanks a lot for your charming welcome, man! Wow, DRAGON- talking ´bout temperature… today I´m not in Valencia: today I´m I Almeria (460 klicks south of Valencia, in the coast) and I must say to you that yesterday was a grey and rainy day, but today we´re in a beautifully sunny clear day, with a lot of visibility, an at least 25-26ºC. I´m very near “Cabo de Gata” now. Beer

 

See you guys, Beer

but here are a few of pictures of an (unfinished by now) model that I´m currently working on:Dunce
