Hello, Brothers (and sisters)-in-fine-scale-arms:

Posted by Anonymous on Wednesday, February 11, 2004 5:00 AM

Been a fan of FSM for years, but it's my first time in the community. I'm from the Philippines, building models since I was 8 (I think), got interested when I saw my Dad's Revell USS Enterprise CV-65 (the best 1:720 kit, they call it), started with Duco cement, got hooked with those 1:72 Matchbox aircraft (don't have them anymore), but really got serious on armor and figures. First kits in serious mode were Tamiya's 1:35 Tiger 1 (motorized beast, the one that came in a box with a painting on top) and German Machinegun team set. Right now doing the DML boogie, mostly figures. What can I say? The industry's growing, but the budget's a little tight. I remember when Pactra Authenticolor was sold at P4.50 a bottle, right in Lil's Maranaw (the IPMS Phils. guys know what I'm talking about). Anyway, happy modelling guys!

Kabayan! (Fellow countryman) Welcome to the Forums! It's good to see another Filipino here! Another treadhead, huh? You should get in touch with Dwight Ta-ala! Sadly, i have no idea where Lil's Maranaw is... Tongue [:P]

how about posting a few pics of your builds?!?

Pix & Courtney: You'd think with all the modelers here we'd get more aftermarket parts, etc... Sigh [sigh]

Oh well...
