A new Canuck from near Toronto
Posted by dlowman on Friday, December 14, 2007 9:50 PM
Smile [:)] Hello from Ajax, Ontario just outside of Toronto. Just getting back into modelling after being away from it for about 35 years. Kids all grown up, no more coaching hockey and baseball so I have the time to get back into something I love to do. Things sure have changed. Thanks for checking in. Cheers.

First off, Sign - Welcome [#welcome] back to the fold and the forums!  I see in your signature that you are working on the Tamiya 1/32 F-15; that must be quite the project! Thumbs Up [tup]

Sign - Welcome [#welcome] to the Forums. 

I am originally from Niagara Falls, Ont.  Been living in Saskatchewan since 1969.  I hear you are going to get quite a storm this weekend.  Has it started yet.  At least the temperature doesn't get bitterly cold.

Looks like you might have a white Christmas.

Boohoo [BH] Yes, unfortunately it has started in a BIG way. Thank God for a snow thrower, but you know what I mean living in Sask. and no doubt it will be a white X-mas.

 Cheers,

Burger [BG] Thanks for the welcome, happy to be here. I'm hoping I haven't bitten off to much with the F-15 but I like the bigger size. It's my winter project.

Cheers,

Cheers,

Never modeled before (not me) build, I mean. I tried a DH Mosquito, turned out looking like it has flack damage.  O well learned a lot on this one.  Now that I have a camera (digital), I will post some pictures of it, so that others can snipe at it.

We have been getting a fair bit of snow here overnight and still continuing, I don't recall then forecasting this, but Mother Nature has her own plans.  Last year was the first year I had a snowblower. 

If don't get back to you before Christmas, have a Merry Christmas, to you and your family.

Thanks Papa-John and Merry Xmas to you and yours as well. The snow finally stopped after we got hit with about 25cm. Had to run the snowblower over it all twice. Worked great.
