New member here.

Well I was a Toronto Maple Leafs fan, and always will be.  Now that I'm living in Washington State I'm more interested in football.  Go Hawks.

Hey bro...I'm a new member too....I'm a Bruins fan...are you Toronto or Montreal fan? We can all get along :)

Hi Tojo72, I don't get on to the forum to much but would like to start.  My modeling interests are (and in this order) WWII heavy armor, old iron sides & racing cars.  As a kid at the age of 10, I bought my first model which was dracula and then collected all the other monsters.  Then I recieved my first vehicle which I do remember it was an ambulance and that I had a very difficult time assembling but I did finally get it finished and remembered how proud I was.  Now I'm at the ripe old age of 63 and my fingers don't work as well as I would like them to.  I'm orginally from Ontario Canada and in 2009 moved out west to Washington State and since have gotten back to modeling.  I just finnished the Marcava 3 (I know it's not spelt right) and well after being away from modelling for 10 years I am so glad I started up again.  I've been a memeber here on FSM for more than 20 years I think and when I left I regret deaply not taking all my issues of FSM with me.  It still bothers me.  Well I'll end my letter here and hopefully hear back and start communicating with a few other members and chatting about modeling and our experiances with the kits we're building.  Happy New Years and al the best.

Is there a place here where one can just post their  finished work and where other can look a completed models without having to look through the build log of the model?

You bet there is. Just post completed pics in the corresponding subject forum. i.e Your aircraft in the aircraft section and your armor in the armor section. The fans in each of those forums will most certainly give you some feedback. Sure looking forward to seeing some of your builds.

Thanks all for the warm welcome.

Welcome to the Forums David. It is great to have you join us here. You have made a brilliant choice as the folks here are absolutely the best at making your modeling experience all the more enjoyable.

As a note, we LOVE pics around here. Pics of your completed builds, what you are currently building, what you plan on building, your stash, your work bench, your pets, your yard, your shoelaces, etc..Yeah, lots of pics.

Cheers, Joe

 

Hii Joe,

Thanks for the welcome. Yes. I can post some pics of my work for sure. I have a blog, facebook page(new) and and I have a website that is live but the URL needs updating as no one will be able to find it in a normal search. It's new as well and I am still doing some tweaks on it.

My most recent completed project is a 1/48 P-47 Bubble top from the U.S. 9th Airforce. I did Lt. Col. Robert Coffey's  "Coffey's Pot" . I am now working on a  Sd.Kfz 7/1 Flak wagen (early) with 20mm Flakvierling and Revell's 1//32 Spiftire MK.II. I am also  in the process of a redux of a Sherman V (M4A4) I built some years ago to make it more accurate for an early Sherman serving with the 1st Canadian Armoured Brigaede in Italy. I haven't posted pics of this one anywhere yet so I think this forum is a good place to start. 

Is there a place here where one can just post their  finished work and where other can look a completed models without having to look through the build log of the model?

Thanks again for the warm welcome. It's greatly appreciated.

I lived on the West Coast for 16 years. Got my degree from SFU, started my career there, met my bride there to whom I have been married for 19 years and my first child was born in White Rock. I am practically  half west coaster  myself. I now live here in Ontario where I was born and grew up. All my family is here now so its good to be close to them.

Another Cunack, eh? Wellcome to the forum, I am from the "wet" coast

Welcome to the forums!

Don't now the answer to how long they'll hold your posts.  The modorators are probably on vacation.  I think it's only supposed to be a couple of days.  

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours.
