                        I kind of like the sound of this get together. Modeling talk, over-running my hobby shop, What do y'all think, should we have some beer too?? Just a thought Wink [;)]

                        Keyworth I didn't realize you were so close too!

                        Hey, we should have some beer too! Big Smile [:D]

                        Keyworth, any chance of having any beer? Actually Georgia would be closer to my home. We need someone to ram rod this get together. Are there any takers out there?

                        Smile [:)] Hi all.

                        I've just started to visit a lot more often and reading the posts shows what a good crowd of people we have hereApprove [^]
                        I think it would be great for folks to meet up and put some names to faces. If there ever is a global get-together I'd like to be there!Cool [8D]

                        While I'm here, anyone going to the UK Nationals in November? I hope to be there (work/family permitting) and it would be nice to say hello to any of the FSM crew if you're around. Let me know!Wink [;)]

                        Yeah, I could pretty much get anywhere in a day.
                        Actually, from my humble abode here in Osaka to my folk's digs down in Brunswick, Georgia, it takes right at 24 hours, door to door. About 16 hours actually in the plane, and the other 8 drivin' and waitin'.

                        I wonder how long it'd take to get to Belgium...Wink [;)]

                        Bottle or can? Maybe we should all try to get together at some time in the future. We could pick some place like Vegas and go there for a week. Make it at a time where we would be able to plan the trip, say like the second anniversary of the web site opening. We might even be able to get FSM to sponsor the event. We could even try to make it an annual event in different locations. Just a wild suggestion.

                        Hi, Pix!

                        The actual pronunciation is "taw-mee-yaw," with no stress on any syllable. I grew up pronouncing it with the "ta" like in "tank", like the North American that I am, so it's taken some getting use to saying it like "Tom" over the last 10 years or so.
                        Just pretend it's the great 17th century English poet, Tom E. Yaw...

                        Hey, J-Hulk - this may be slightly OT here, but I have a pronunciation question for you, and you, probably better thanyone else, will able to quell my curiosity. Just exactly how is "Tamiya" pronounced in Japan ? Is it tah-MEE-yah, tah-MY-yah, or something else all together ? (please don't tell me that its pronounced "Plastic of the Gods !)

                        OK, how's this:

                        I am very new to this forum, but have found it very useful. Before moving to Adelaide I belonged to a very good club based in Canberra, yet to join a club in Adelaide. I have found the FSM forum to be on par with a club membership, in fact one can say in reality the forum is a world wide modelling club.

                        I am looking forward to good realationship with other members of the FSM world wide modelling club.

                        I can just feel the love coming from this topic. Very touching.
                        I agree with all of you. IUntil I found this site, I have never really belonged to any club or modellers group, other than my own club of one. Now, I have proof that there are those out there that are just as insane as I am about the hobby, and those thoughts comfort me when I'm alone at my desk. It truly is a pleasure being part of something as great as this forum.

                        erush. The bad thing is I understood every word you wrote.

                        To all. This site is not just for a specific country. It is international. I also consider many of you my friends. I have learned a lot from many of you and I like to think I have also contributed a little knowledge.

                        There is some joking, serious discussions, light hearted discussions and at times some disagreement. There are members that will go out of their way to find information for another member. Some are into aircraft, armor, ships or sci fi, but each has a common bond. That is a bond which can not be broken. We all have one thing in common. Model building.

                        If I should ever meet any member in person, I would be the first to offer to buy you a cup of coffee or a beer and just set around talking model building. Isn't that what friends do?

                        This is a great place to be "building models" when I dont have the time for it. All of the people here are wonderful and like Domi said, its our model club. We should all be proud! Hey if the Japanese can understand my Brooklyn accent on here, I am sure to they wont have any problem communicating Tongue [:P]Tongue [:P]Tongue [:P] with us.
