Landlocked Submariner finds a Hobby
Posted by TBadger on Sunday, July 29, 2012 2:51 PM

Been modeling for about 6 months now and have dabbled in Armor/Sci-Fi/Aircraft and don't see an end in sight. I just subscribed to FSM and wanted to get active on the community here as a secondary to my first home @ SMA.  

Residing in Jacksonville, I don't have much to go on as per LHS but the internet has cured most of my ailments. If anyone here is in the area and k ows of meet and greets or shops or getting rid of some stash, drop me a line! I'll be sure to replyASAP. 

Glad to be here and hope to be a valuable asset to the community :)

Jacksonville, eh?  I spent time in Aviation Ordnance 'A' School at NATTC Jax, back in 1967, about six months or so, as I recall.  Welcome aboard!

It's a terrible place now.....the heat is unbearable and the people are despicable ( most of them)  I'm stationed at the King's Bay Submarine Base. jacksonville is just the closest place that has a semblance of civilization.

Welcome aboard (no pun intended) and welcome to the hobby.

Excuse my ignorance of US geography, but how far are you from the ocean.

I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so

from where I'm currently sitting I'm physically 3 miles out.....but because of ridiculous road layouts, it takes about 30 min to get to the beach in the car
