Hello ya all,
First of all, my name is Clemens and i´m from Austria, so excuse my mediocre english skills.
I initially got interested into building scale models by playing video games. I liked some of the vehicles so much that I wanted to own one of them (my first models were a M4A3 Sherman tank and a p-47). As this is not possible,I started building plastic Models of them. After some time of building various stuff, building models became my favourite hobby. Now i´m building scale models because it is a great hobby and I really love to do it.
I am looking forward to showing my progress in the hobby with you.
Clemens

On deck:
A beginning is a very delicate time. Know then that it is the year 2013. The Known Universe is ruled by Matthew Usher. In this time, the most precious substance in the universe is polystyrene plastic. Glue extends plastic. The plastic expands consciousness. The plastic is vital to modelers. The Fine Model Builder Guild and its wonderful lunatics in FSM, who the plastic has mutated over 77 years, which gives them the ability to fold photoetched-metal. That is, cyanoacrylate sticks to any part without moving. Plastic must flow!!!

Greetings and Welcome to the forums. Don't worry about your English. Most of us that speak it normally still have troubles!
Thanks for the nice words, guys.
Ill take part in the 1943 group build and i promise you A LOT of pictures.
I already decided on the subject of my first build here on Finescale...
Hi Clemens. Man just dig on in. There are alot of really good folks here to help out and to show your work off to. If I'm not mistaken theres a P-47 Group Build in here somewhere........
See you around, Joe

Thank you, Joe
I have seen the Jug group build, but I think it has already ended.
Nevermind, I have found enough GBs to throw my jug models in.
I have one lying around ready for the "Forces of nature" GB (I just have to decide on the decals) and I have already ordered the big Hasegawa one at my local hobby store (with lots of aftermarket goodies) for the "Ground attack" GB. Unfortunately it will take about a month or two to arrive.
Some of these GB's seem to be fading away unfortunately. I don't think we have as many GB addicts as we used to. Hopefull;y we can give GB's a shot in the arm and get some more of the new members hooked.
I am already hooked, Bish
Im just building the cockpit for the first Airacobra...
I have some problems with my signature, if someone can help me...
It hasn't got more than 300 characters, but when i want to add the badge for the 1943 GB, it says "Maximum Signature length is 512 characters"
I don't understand it either. A while back i went to change my sig. It didn't allow it so i went to pout it back to how it was, but it said that was to big as well. I think its to do with the charecters in the pic, computers ain't really my thing.
I take it your useing Photobucket as your host. Instead of useing the direct link code and putting that into the insert image box, on PB use the IMG codes and add that link direct to the page. I find that make the charecters less. The sig i have now i couldn't do the other way.
Thank you, Bish
I'll try that right now
O, i forgot, i am not sure if it helps, but i also shrink my GB badge images to no more than 160 pixels. I am not sure if that makes a difference to the number of charecters, but worth a try.
and then we have goofs like bish and i who are in 6 or 7 GBs simultaneously plus our other builds.
i have one file in photoshop with all my GB badges. as i get a new one i open it, scale it down, add it to the multiple GB badges, save it as a new file and chnage the file in the signature. that way i am only loading 1 file.

Thank you very much, but my problem is I can't even get 1 picture in my signature.
Welcome aboard
Thank you very much
Hello Clemens,
My name is Sergei. To many it’s easier to call me Sergio, so whatever you prefer is OK.
I’d like to say I noticed we have a couple of things in common. First of all, I am from Russia, so excuse my English skills. And I’m just starting with the hobby, just starting really. I am an artist with many years of experience, and along with paintings and drawings I make various objects and installations. When things constructed I paint them without imitating real colors; I may make everything just grey, or do it like an old bronze, so this is a sculptor’s approach. Now I’m contemplating to build some scale model vehicle, a war time truck for instance. I believe that scale models may help many to know and understand the past events better, and respect history and people who lived before us.
I find beautiful builds here on the site, I admire the skills very much, it’s inspiring.
I am looking to viewing your creations.
Regards and cheers to everybody who reads this, for this is my first post here.
Sergio
Thank you very much, Sergei.
I just started with an Airacobra in the 1943 group build (sadly, some things went terribly wrong). If you want, you can check it out, but its just embarrassing how I was able to screw it up that much. I have to save the model at any cost, because I just dont want my first project on this site to fail that badly. I think I can just hide some of the mistakes, but I dont know whith what I should do that.
Maybe a more creative person, like you are, could help me out on this. I already have / will ask the pros I know by name for help...
Anyways, heres the link: cs.finescale.com/.../1654853.aspx
