Hi From England
Posted by Anonymous on Thursday, December 7, 2006 6:54 AM

Hi Folks

 Just checking in from England.  Have been browsing around this site for a while and I have finally decided to join.

 My name is Elsie and I am 34 years of age.  I have been around modelling for most of my life being introduced through my father and brother.  But didn't actually start modelling until about 15 years ago.  I prefer to build modern aircraft in 1/72 scale although I have just completed a 1/48 Eurofighter.  I also build the occassional ship!

 I am looking forward to gaining some valuable modelling advice from this site and offering some if I can.

Cheers for now.

 Elsie

Welcome aboard, Elsie.  You'll like it here.

There used to be other women modelers on here.  Don't know what happened to them, I haven't seen any of them in a while.

P.S. I consider it a "plus" that you're from the UK; I have a couple of "friends" over there, and I'm an Anglophile. Good to have you on-board.

Hi Elsie!! I've seen you over on another board. I try to defend the feminine virtue here, but I'm out-numbered.  They may be having a bad influence on me since Randie seems to forget I'm a girl and I've been on here longer then himSmile,Wink, & Grin [swg].  "Every now and then" Shell, really I'm here everyday almost and would have been here sooner if that pesky Geology Lab Final hadn't interfered.  I never seem to get time to built.  I didn't paint a part last week I think.   Good to have some company.

Please forgive me, Cassi.  You may have been on this site longer than me but, I'll bet I've been around a lot longer and that is why I have trouble remembering a lot of things.  Especially after my last go round in the hospital.

But, I will do my best not to forget anymore.  I promise. Wink [;)] Big Smile [:D]

And, Elsie?  Your build looks very good.  Keep us posted on future builds.

I guess I'll forgive you, Shell.  At least you knew I was girl.   Okay I'll stop, Randie.
