another new guy
Posted by link955 on Sunday, October 5, 2003 3:39 AM
Hi all, just signed on. I've been a modeler for most of my life; I became serious about it when I turned 19. I started out with aircraft but now do armor, figures and dioramas. I competed heavily in the 80s and early 90s, winning around 150 awards and 18 Best-In-Shows. I still compete but on a much more limited basis. I had a diorama of mine published in the 1986 Tamiya Catalog (for those of you old enough to remember that one, it was the bridge diorama in the center section). Currently I am working on the Trumpeter K5 (E) kit. And I defy any of you airplane dudes to tackle a kit with 1140 parts! (just kidding).

Welcome Link. Pretty impressive there, I'm not an airplane dude and I don't think I could tackle something with that many pieces. By the time I got done my kids would have lost atleast 300 of them based on an average of 3 pieces per normal kit.

I'm sure I seen that catalog, link! I've been modeling a few years (or collecting as it were!) but I have been, & always will be, a pack rat so I'm positive that catalog is in the dusty regions of my abode somewhere! LOL
