to the forums! Pull up a keyboard and stay a while.

Another Canuck! It's an honoUr to have you join us, neighboUr, it's a laboUr to spell coloUr wrong all the time! What part of Canada do you hail from?

Can't help you with the book, so sorry, sounds like a good one. Have you tried ebay?

So long folks!

Big Smile [:D] Hey

nice to hear from you,I am from Montreal Qc,am french Canadian but,fully bilingual,and NOT a seperatist!!!!!Thanks for the tip,I will try ebay.As far as modeling goes,used to do some about 30 years ago,kept all my models both finished and unfinished.Never had things like compressors then all where done with brush,some came out fairly good,but I guess I could strip some paint off and re do them.Have a compressor but,never used it,hate screwing things up but,I guess you have to break a few eggs if,you want to make an omelet.!!!

Not really good with computers,but get by,find it somewhat a touch impersonnal,but still a good way to find new friends like now.Have a good one,hope to chat again,my e-mail address is ggoug@hotmail.com.
