Hello everybody. My name is Jeff but my kids call me "The Gimpy Ninja". That's because I'm so stealthy in spit of the fact that I'm disabled. HaHaHa. Anyway. I am new to FSM but not model building. I guess you could say I'm picking up where I left of as a kid only now I have more patients. As a kid I build a lot cars, a few ships and some airplanes. My skills at building models is much better than it use to be but I still have much to learn. I've developed a passion of sorts for helicopters, truck and some cars, primarily those of a vintage style. I do like old sailing ships but I content to stick with helicopters and vintage/classic vehicles and muscle cars. I'm going to give a go at weathering and dioramas rather than looking like the vehicle just rolled off the assembly line. There is so much to learn with detailing and weathering. I saw one guy who is building and selling "Classic Wrecks" which is awesome. Maybe I'll try something like that.
Having a chance to read over a few post and the forum rules and guidelines I have to say I am pleased. I've had my fill of people who think they are Lord and Master of the all knowledge and wisdom of the universe. I'm here to share my enthusiasm of model building and learn from those who've been modelers for while and know their craft well. I like the zero tolerance rule. One thing I've learned to keep out of the work place, pub and friendships is politics. Although I don't entirely agree with the religion have, I have great respect for the rule and those who, for lack of a better word, in force it. As they stated in the post, there are other places where we can talk about those topics.
So. If you haven't figured it out by now I tend to talk a lot. That's what happens when a guy is confined to the house nearly 24/7. Sucks being disabled sometimes. Stuck inside all the time and rarely have anyone to talk with. That's about it for now. I look forward to reading and sharing more with everyone. Have a great day
