Salutations from Chesapeake, VA!
Posted by styrene on Wednesday, May 14, 2003 12:06 PM
Hello, everyone. I've been modeling "seriously" since the early '80s after about a 15 year lay-off. My primary focus is armor--WW II to present--particularly artillery. But I also like aircraft and ship modeling. Currently trying to figure out a Hasegawa 1/48 F-16C (They don't have tracks, do they?), and also trying to superdetail a 1/350 Tamiya USS Missouri (Wow! 3 turrets; where are the road wheels?) Professionally, I'm an Industrial Hygienist, and have spent about 20 years in the safety and health field. Looking forward to being a part of what certainly appears to be a fine and growing community.
All the best ,
Gip

No tracks....no roadwheels....how can you even consider building such things. For a Hygienist you had better consider cleaning up your act!!!!! LOL

Welcome to FSM Gip. It's great to have you bring your experience with you. Enjoy!
Happy Modelling and God Bless Robert
