Hi to all
Posted by IamRaider on Monday, April 21, 2014 3:52 PM

Hi folks,

I built models as a kid and recently have gotten back into it. As a kid I built a little of everything from sci-fi to cars and anything military; but now I'm sticking mainly to military aircraft and armor. After taking nearly 30 years off I'm amazed at the amount of progess in the hobby. A lot to do with the amount of knowledge being shared over the internet no doubt.

Right now I have 1/35th T34/76, M4A3 Sherman, Marder III,  and 1/48th P-51D, and a PBY-5 on my bench in various stages of finish. Most are experimental for me as I don't want to muck up any of the expensive kits in my stash. When I get stuck or tired of one or am waiting on something to dry I jump to another. That way I always have something to work on.

Anyway, I'm here to learn some new stuff and hopefully improve my builds. See you guys around the forum.

Raider

Howdy Raider!  Come on in, the water is fine.  Don't be concerned about asking questions, we all do it.  As you mentioned, by sharing, we all get better.

Best, Marty
