A strange hobby for a girl

CallSignOWL

yeah, seriously. I never got this much attention.  

Oh?

Then who "adopted you"?

(And all you guys can get your minds out of the gutter over that reference.)

maybe you are right, I probably don't want this much attention. But at least the attention I DID get wasn't obnoxious!!

As I would hope it would be for any female enjoying this hobby and I'm always glad when those ranks grow and can only hope that all existing "guys" can remember that we're here to share the hobby and not somehow save a membership fee to a dating site, or worse.

I'm in my fifties and AFAIK the couple of ladies who have revealed their genders here are what I would call "young". Being a dad I'd hate to think that if I had girls (I have only boys) who enjoyed this hobby they'd ever encounter behavior that would cause them to pause to participate. Not trying to preach to anyone just hoping "we" can somehow remain respectful.

Anyone care for some tea and crumpets?

Welcome Elizabeth!! Just give Manny a cat and he'll be happy. Just don't ask what he does wit them.

smeagol the vile:

 Anyhow, welcome and show pics

 

 

Man... I would get SOOOoo banned for the remark I wanna write here...

 

 

LOL, go on, i dare ur.

 

 

Nah... But it had to with her avatar,  the words the Smeaglett wrote about  "show pictures" and the word,  "ta-tas"...  

 

 

I think it might be ßreast if you keep that one to yourself

And I will try to find a better picture to use.

Good pun, E-J...  As Woody Allen once said, "Anyone who uses puns should be drawn and quoted"...  But, I was really directing my comment at Smeagol, not you...  Most of his female aquaintences are avatars or anime... Sorry about that bit of confusion...  Nothin' wrong with your pic, either...  

 Manstein may be 229 years old, but I'm a Neanderthal, as you can see from my own avatar...  Got three ex-wives to prove it, too...

I can arrange it to be...

J/K..

MrSquid, I'm a 50-something Dad too, my "Li'l Girl" is 30, builds models sometimes, but she's also a US Army CW3,  a Blackhawk pilot, and is prepping for her transfer to Ft Rucker, AL in the fall to transition to Apaches...   She can handle anything the male pilots throw at her... Heh... Really freaked me out once back in 2002, while we were spinnning up for OIF 1 was that she was flying one of the slicks that I was waiting for on an air assault  shortly after she'd gone to her permanent party unit...

Didn't know her unit was supporting ours that day, and it kinda shocked me when I heard her voice on the radio at the PZ, lol...  That's when the "Dad" pucker-factor will go to a plus-five, I'm tellin' ya...  It went like, "Thunder 56 (me), Hawkeye 44 (her), inbound with three Hawks, one mike. Pop smoke"...  I answered, "Hawkeye 44 Thunder 56, smoke out", and she replied, "Hawkeye 44, Roger yellow smoke. Thanks,  Daddy"...

Nope. Sorry. I can't spell to save my life. Doesn't help that I'm dyslexic either.

I'll jump on the spelling and grammar bad wagon  (with tolerance for people whose native language isn't english )

Hi Elizabeth

Glad to have found another lady modeller here ! We are a rare breed.

Kaz

Hi Elizabeth

Glad to have found another lady modeller here ! We are a rare breed.

 

 

"We"???

She tricked us with the avatar gents!

If Kaz is a lady- then I'm glad to hear that there's now THREE of you I have learned of recently.

Hello Kaz, yes we are a little out numbered. So far I think it's just you, me and CallSignOWL.

Guys, reading this thread is like reading a script for a Monty Python sketch. I think we should all find a hand bag each, stand in a big circle and have a proper girly fight.

Some of the comments are spot on and perfectly timed. - Yeah, he 'aint into stereotypes like us boys - fight on the playground!!!! fight on the playground...!!! - Maybe because you have girl cooties - Anyone care for some tea and crumpets? and the one that I nearly wet myself laughing at was - Punctuation mate, fer crissake! (we all thought it but Wirraway said it perfectly)

Thank you to everyone for taking the pee out of each other and making it so entertaining.

BTW VanceCrozier, The Life Of Brian is my all time favourite comedy film. And Manstein's revenge, how long will those crumpets be because my cup of tea is getting cold?

the model price will go up again since another dedicated builder has borned. welcome to the hobby, elizabeth

Geez Elizabeth don't encourage the rabble or it will only get worse.

Glad to have you aboard Elizabeth, and a hardy Howdy from South Carolina!

hey... it was the best descriptive word I could think of to describe our little outfit here.

As a disclaimer: resemblance of any person, living or dead to the word "rabble" was pruely intentional.

the rabble outfit? well count me in ( i think ) do we get a unit patch?

Vance ?? Oddman ??..

I refuse to be called rabble.

Rubble is more accurate for me.

No, not Barney Rubble, just rubble.

40.mm

the rabble outfit? well count me in ( i think ) do we get a unit patch?

How about this one?

if it official my vote is yes ,
