Dohrmc

...i was not building plastic models at the time...

Oh, but it's a forum for all model builders, regardless of the medium!  Too bad it kept you from posting, but I hope you'll post more frequently, especially your flying models.  Your D1 looks great!

Best regards,

Brad

As I recall, I joined in the hopes of learning how to make details I could apply to my flying scale model airplanes. i was not building plastic models at the time.  Here's a photo of one of them. Stick and tissue, rubber powered, and it flies in a very realistic manner. It's a Junkers D1, from WW1-30 " wingspan. I hope the picture posts-still struggling a bit with the pictures.

My sons and I were big in to RC for a long time.  One of my sons was the king of RC Helo's which is pretty challenging.  I still have a few, gave up on the gas birds and have a few electric birds.   And I have a few helis but they scare me lol.   Lots of room for all forms of scale models here.  Welcome.

Thanks,

John

Started building plastic and wooden models back in '46 (6 years old) and never stopped. Along the way I did the R/C planes & sailboats, gliders, free flight, stick & tissue and indoor microfilm rubber powered planes also. I still make the ocasional stick & tissue just for the fun. There's lots of room here in our community and the surrounding area is all farmland. Lots and lots of open space.

Welcome Sign aboard!

I've done plastic since I was a little shaver, but I also did quite a few stick and tissue flying models -- mostly all Guillow kits -- back in the day.

Hope you enjoy your time here. There's a lot of knowledge and experience...some good stories...and more than a few quirky personalities, for your dining and dancing pleasure.

Cheers Big Smile

Greg

Hi, Dohrmc, and welcome! I, too, am a "full circle" returnee, having started with plastic airplanes as a kid, then balsa and tissue paper planes, eventually balsa and Monokote R/C, and eventually foamies and balsa/fiberglass electric R/Cs before getting too busy for anything. I decided a couple of years ago to start back with plastic models - far cheaper, and less likely to strain through a tree! Hope you enjoy a fruitful and fun return, looking forward to seeing your models!

I have been making models for many years, but they are flying models. Stick and tissue FreeFlight ones. 
Many  years ago, I built many plastic models, but got away from it for a very long time.

Cleaning out a closet recently, I discovered my old Matilda tank I built many decades ago. I decided to try to make it more realistic, and here I am. 

Looking forward to gaining more knowledge, and starting to build more realistic models.
