Well , if I'm modeling since a long time, I stay a novice with my computer !! I feel very happy to get many welcome 's messages, including your's. I give you some more info on myself : I'm working as a safety officer in Brest shipyard and work usually on tankers / LNG ships at repairing .When it's possible for me I go for fishing ; while i was in Africa, i was use to go at sea for fishing more often than here in France. Brest is also a military place for the French Navy and specifically for nuclear submarines . My favourite scale for modeling aircraft is 1/48. Actually , I'm constructing a F100D (one of my favourite aircrafts) in 1/72 (1/48 monogram not available easily here)But I hope that in the future I will get the time to build a modeling project different : a big game fishing model ship ( probably a scratch one) with a diorama.Next to read you Butch !
