Hello, I am in Van Alstyne, that's just north of McKinney.

The Stuka is 1/48. Usually do not go smaller... hand and eye thing lol.

looking forward to participating, learning and having fun here Big Smile

gotta join some group builds!

 

Nice, i built both the 48th and 32nd a few years back. The 48th was a much nicer kit to put together. Was my one and only venture into that scale.

I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so

 

On the bench: Airfix 1/72nd Harrier GR.3/Fujimi 1/72nd Ju 87D-3

Building a kit from your stash is like cutting a head off a Hydra, two more take it's place.

Interesting... this hobbytown is called wild bills hobbytown! 

Yes.  A long time hobby shop which was big in Lionel, die cast, good plastic, and RC cars.   It even had a RC dirt track in the back yard.  Shady Grove Road west of loop 12 in Irving

A bit over a year back the DFW HobbyTown franchisee purchased Wild Bill's, largely due to the RC track.  He is using the Hobby Town name but has been able to avoid much of the corporate gack overload

Look for a lot of RC, paint, and some plastic - not as extensive as before

Hobby town in Lewisville much better than expected! 

The same franchisee who owns the Lewisville store also owns Hurst, east Dallas, and IIRC Plano.  Also owns Wild Bills Hobby in Irving.   He has been responsive to the hobbiest's needs in the DFW area (within the limitations of the must-carry requirements of HT corporate.

Hi, Xraylizard!

Hello All;

Looking forward to spending time building, reading, making a few net freinds.  Propeller

Last time I poked around here was 2008-2009. 

Interests are Air and Armor.  Thinking of doing more Armor, Wheeled units. Like the Skoda Turtle ! It is beautiful in the eyes of it's Mother haha.

Have a Tam B1 Bis that was never 98.59% completed, and "due to life things" the remaining parts - tracks and decals gone, but found some on the Bay.

Still missing three small parts... hmm maybe time to practice battle damage lol!

On the bench is a Hasegawa JU87G-2 Tank Buster.

Also build model rockets.

best regards,

Bryan
