Hi!

Posted by knight667 on Friday, May 7, 2004 6:36 PM

My name's John "knight667", and I've just started reading these boards in earnest. Started building models 100 years ago when I was in high school, took a break for a few years and just started back up a couple months ago.

This time around I'm sticking to 1/48 scale, mostly fixed-wing aircraft, some helicopters.

Already gathered a lot of great advice by lurking here, hope to gather more by posting and reading the replies (not to mention taking part in the group builds!). See ya!

Welcome to the Forum Sign - Welcome [#welcome]

. You've been building models for a 100 years? Wow, and I thought I was one of the older modelers here Smile [:)]

. I also build mostly 1/48 AC with an occasional 1/72. Hope to hear from you on the Aircraft Forum.

welcome john, i've been here since july of 03' and havent regretted it abit. however, it seems that keeping up with these posts is the hobby instead of building!! i look forward to seeing some of your work so go out and get digital camera or scanner and lets have a look see. your story sounds alot like mine as well. i've thouroughly enjoyed my time back in the hobby. later.
