Hello, My Name is Korky, I used to build kits a long time ago, and what got me started again is the larger scale kits and the pre-built models from 21st Century that I do mods to.

I find this site to be very user friendly, and full of info from very experienced modelers and all around good "Joes"!

I live in Illinois, married with 6 children, (yes I said 6)

I am in the process of building a 1/18th dio, with scratch built buildings, dragonsteeth and alot of other things.

Never built a Dio, so I got alot of simple but probably to you guys
Stupid questions. So bear with me. Great to be HERE!!

Welcome Korky,

Sounds like you have your hands full with 6 children.

If you have any questions, the forums are indeed the place to ask.

Good Luck on the Dio and post some pictures of your progress!

Welcome to FSM Korky.

I can see why you build 1/18 scale ..... it gives you a place to house all the kids !!

I look forward to your posts in the Armour Forum and don't forget the progress pics!
Happy Modelling and God Bless Robert

Thanx Guys!! Yeah, I'ts a hard scale to get alot of detail in, and I find it quite a task to find anything that goes with it. On my smaller stuff, a simple pass of a dry brush and whalaa!!! with this scale whalaa is AUHHHHHHHH!!!!!
But I love WWII Armour and Aircraft, not much into the modern stuff........but when I was a kid...........modern was the Saber Fighter!!!!!!
