Hello All

I am looking forward to the Forum and Communities Smile I am basically a new modeler as I don't count the few models I had done at 10 years old.....boy were they sad looking lol. I am now 45 and have started building in the last year and just joined FSM..what a great magazine and website!!

My interests are 1800's era ships, sailing ships and WWII armour (esp. German), I would eventually love to get into building diorama's. And when it come to WWII I am a history geek Geeked

I am building the Segras from Artesania Latina and The Sea Witch (kit 70812) from Linberg. I stopped on the Segras right after I started on the rigging, but as MacArthur said, "I shall return"

Welcome to the forums.

I'm in the same boat as you...started when I was about 10. I wish I could find those models, just for posterity. This forum is great for information, you'll learn a lot....I learn something new almost all the time.

Enjoy!

On the bench: Tamyia Mosquito Mk. VI for the '44 group build. Yes, still.

Welcome aboard. A nice range of interests you have there. You will defiantly find a few fellow German armour fans on here, and a few dio builders as well.

I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so

Welcome Badger! I'm going to be 46 in August and have gotten back into the hobby myself. Jump on in and have fun! There is a great group of folks here with a wealth of knowledge and are more than willing to pass it on. Just one thing to remember....post pics! We love seeing pics of the build! Again, welcome!

Welcome to the Forums!! Glad to have you aboard! I've been building for 66 of my 72 years and build whatever strikes my fancy at the time. My Avatar is Artesania Latina's "Scottish Maid". It took me about 2 years to complete and I loved every minute of it ( well, maybe not 100% of it). The rigging was a little on the tough side with bad hands and eyesight.. Enjoy.

I've got pics of the build somewhere. I'll look for them and put them up as soon as I find them. Probably sometime tonight.

Badger, I'm having a problem with photobucket AGAIN. Can't find the photos of the build. All my pics are all out of their files and mixed up. Had this problem before and it took a while to straighten it out. I'll send you the one I used for my avatar. It will be larger so you can see it better. I'll keep working on the problem and send them to you when I find them.

Jim Captain

Sorry, it won't let me do that either. I'll keep trying.
