Hello from Texas
Posted by rrmmodeler on Friday, February 27, 2004 2:29 PM
Hello I am Russ, and I am a model builder. Smile [:)]. I started building when I was a kid with the model of the month club. Later with a friend I conitued on into high school. I stopped when he moved and I did not start again until I moved to where I was going to college. This was also the time that I found FSM at a bookstore. That really got me back into it even though I could barely afford a model or the subscription But every month I looked forward to the mag. and still do. I have been building ever since though lately I have started more than I have been able to finish...oh well.
I build mainly aircraft though I did go through an armor fix for a while and I still get the urge to build armor now and again but right now the aircraft pull is just alittle stronger. I have been lurking around these boards for a while and now decided to just go ahead and join. So here I am. Big Smile [:D]

Thank everyone for the welcome.

I plan to post some pixs since I have just got a digital camera. I may dust off some of the armor models that I have done and post them.

J-man, I am in Houston and today I went over to San Antonio to the Modelfiesta Show there. They had a good turn out and and a good show. There were some real works of art there as well.

Well thanks again.
Russ

I'm pleased to hear that you've stopped lurking and signed yourself up for the asylum Forums... Word of caution: it's addicting. Pretty soon your models will be competing with the forum for time! Tongue [:P] See you in the aircraft forums!
