Welcome to the forums!

You friend, Toshi

Howdy !

I am a great "assembler".  What I would like to accomplish is the ability to "think outside the box".

First you have to get the model "OUT OF THE BOX". ( sometimes I use a hammer ...... oh... wait ... thats "DISSASSEMBLY"! )

Welcome to FSM !

Thanks for the warm welcome guys.  I really appreciate it.  I just posted an airplane I did two years ago I had forgotten about.  It accomplished the goals I had at the time.  I can't wait to get started on the next one.  I'll check out the figures forum and chat with you soon.  Best regards.

Welcome! Glad to have you onboard... 

Hmmm;

 Lets see . First remove the shrink wrap . Then look at all the nice pictures . Then let your imagination go wild . OOPS! That's OOB ain't it ? Welcome aboard .

Thanks rigid and tanker.  Will be starting a build real soon.  Can't wait.

 Just in case -- Merry Christmas to you and yours . Tanker - Builder

Welcome!

The only "dumb" questions here are the ones that don't get asked.

I recently built my first, and only, large scale figure, and hey it was really fun and even made the mag. I would love to see yours.

Welcome to the forum!  Is that the old Aurora Zorro kit?  I hope you post some pictures soon.

Best regards,

Brad

Thank you Bill.  I will for sure be asking questions.  I'll start with "Which issue is your figure in?"  I would love to check it out.

Thanks also to you Brad.  To answer your question, the Zorro is from Atlantis.  I have added a pic of the instructions, and a card that was in the model.  The company is asking modelers which kits they should bring to market.  From the looks of the list, it appears to be old Aurora stuff.  I guess they bought the rights.

If you read the last paragraph in the instructions, they mention the old Aurora kit being popular and state "Atlantis takes great pride in representing this classic kit after an absence of more than 40 years!"

It sounds like they want to represent a quality kit and not a cheap knock-off.  Having never seen an original I can't make any kind of comparison, however, I look forward to building this kit and I will post the WIP, so we can all see how the kit goes together.

Best regards

Ah, OK, cool!  Yeah, it's a re-release, of sorts, which is not a detraction, just interesting to know the history of a kit.  That'll make a dramatic presentation when you've finished!
