I retired from the Army last year and I seem to have some free time on my hands.  I have built models since I was 10 or so.  I never did anything great but I want to expand my knowledge into making things more realistic and historical correct.  The only thing I did do when I was young was build vehicle from different parts and make durby cars.  My uncle and I would put small moters in them and have fun.  Once the would no longer  run we would rebuild.  So I have fabricated parts before.   I mainly do armor now.  I have first had knowledge on the subject so it helps.  I am currently working on a M24 Chaffee.  Having some issues. I will be asking a lot of questions in the near future.
