New guy on the block
Posted by roadkill_275 on Monday, October 6, 2003 12:39 AM
Where to begin? I'm 40 years old and I've been modeling for about thirty years. I work most scales and subjects, depending on what catches my eye at the time. I'm trying to do a collection in 1/72 of aircraft I've seen, some 400+ types. My current project is the Monogram P-40B in 1/48. Next up will be the R-M MiG-21 in 1/32. My biggest problem right now is finding display space for my collection. If there are any other modelers in the Abilene, Tx area that would like to get together every so often and discuss models and aviation please feel free to contact me at my e-mail. Thanks FSM for providing such a wonderful site!!! And I still think that Paul Boyer is a modeling god. I've been a big fan of his for a long time now!!!Big Smile [:D]

Welcome Roadkill

That's quite an ambitious goal you have. Even in 1/72nd, 400+ models is going to occupy a good deal of real estate!
I would never be able to even attempt anything like that because it takes me so long to complete even one kit anymore that I don't have nearly enough lifetime left. It's a good thing though, because I'm all tapped out of display space myself.
Good luck with your endeavour!
