Hey, y'all:
I've been reading FSM for twenty years (modeling for more than 40 years), and decided I'd check out the website. Wife and I lived in the South (North Carolina) when FSM started publishing; now we live in Wisconsin. I model mostly U.S. 8th Army Air Force heavy bombers and fighters, although I am about to return to WWI biplanes, I think. I still have some I built in the 1970's (the old Revell kits). Nice to "see" y'all.

Thanks for the welcome.
Actually, Monsterarmor, I was born and raised in Wisconsin, but lived in Georgia (Gwinnett County) before NC, then also a year in Tyler, Texas. The first thing I picked up in the South was "y'all." I thought it sounded better than "youse guys" so I kept it. And, yes, Keyworth--I borrowed the "checkmateking02" from Combat!. It was a favorite show, and when I used to paint WWII 1/35 soldiers, the guy with the Thompson always got a camouflaged helmet like "whiterook" had. I've got tapes of all the episodes, too, from a run on "the Action Channel." Even my two daughters like it.

Murray:
Thanks. And if I knew how to post pictures, I might even do that. Plastic usually gives me no problems. Computers do!

Hope I am not to late to welcome you here Checkmateking02. Although I have been here in the forum for about 3 months now, I am not as experienced as you in modeling. So, keep on posting and I maybe able to learn something from you.
