Howdy and welcome, the only armor I have is 1/72 scale. However, I do like seeing other people's work in other scales. Again welcome, Magoo

Welcome aboard and back into the hobby. Think there a lot of guys here who have come back into the hobby. My break from it was rather short, only 5 years, but the break was not through choice.

Sure you will find this a very interesting place, full of all sorts of characters, all very friendly and helpful, even if a bit odd at times. And ye, we like lots of pics.

Welcome Sign to the forum!  I haven't built any of the railway kits, though i've drooled over them for awhile, so I can help you there.  There are a lot of great guys and gals on here that are willing to help, just ask!

Peace through superior firepower.
