THanks a bunch!!!

Thats the upside to being old. I've been around long enough to have found lots of good stuff on the internet and I've bookmarked them all.  If you are looking for any references for WWII birds I have over 5 gigs of pics on my computor alone not including hundereds of books. You might want to bookmark that page. It has instructions for every Tamiya kit and some other brands also.

hey guys,

my son is going to get in on this gb,but he is going to use my screen name.

but you can post him as invertman jr. he is 11 yrs old.

he will be building a 1/700 scale japanese destroyer hatsushimo.

i think he wants to try modeling water also so i think  he will probably

put it in a dio setting.

thanks guys and have fun with this gb.

jason.

Welcome, Invertman jr.!  Water can be a little tough to model, but indeed do-able!

Remember to get some help from Papa Invertman as well!   Hah.. I wouldn't be in this hobby if it wasn't for my dad..  Long live dads!  Borrowing accounts and more than that!

You guys haven't been raiding your dad'd stash of models have you? I do'nt have a son but my Nephew likes to build a model every once in a while and whenever he come over he always visits my stash closet and looks over all of my colection. He usally ends up going home with at least one kit!

My dad's not into modleing nither is my mom so I'm the only modler in the family....... You guys are lucky!

Don't say "lucky"....  My dad live a 10 hour busride away.........

And I don't raid my dad's stash     But he did infact raid my stash, stealing two sets of British paratroopers....

My dad moved...  When I came and visited him, it was first then he introduced me to models.. When I was six.. I think.. May have been earlier?

I have really never gotten to sit down and build with my dad.. Well, some few times now recently   And before when I was young..  But me and my dad do share most interests togheter. We got a really rare Father-son relationship

Well, off to buying a soda..  Need that after a science test! Sitting at school, math in... 1 hour.. bleh!

I picked up modeling all on my own when I was seven. Way back in 1973. I was inspired to build WWII stuff by my Granfathers stories of fighting in France with the 4th Armored Division. He fought in the Battle of the Bugle and his tank was knocked out. He was a loader in a Sherman tank. When the tank was hit it exploded and because he was standing up on his seat he was blow out of the open turret hatch and into the woods where they found him latter. The rest of the crew were all killed in the explosion. The 4th Armor Division when into the battle with 220 Sherman tanks. Four weeks later they had lost over 200 of them in action. You never forget stories like that.

my dad used to do it but work and such caught up with him so i am the last modeler in the family.

my mom and dad know how hard it is to do some weathering and stuff like that so at least i have sum support

Could you put me down as some diorama no idea what scale or time period (or if i'll even finish it) but after giving it some more thought i got some new ideas out there.

Gotcha.

My dad got me into the hobby when I was 5, with snap kits. I builtd a 1/144th F-4 for my first glue-kit when I was say 8. He never has much time to build, but he got me into the hobby nevertheless. My mom is kinda neutral on the matter, she likes looking at my kits, but she hates it when I airbrush. For some reason, she doesn't like the fumes from acrylic paint. Yet she paints with oils on canvas??? I've never figured that out... Ok, I have some work here to update what kits you guys are doing. For me, I have no clue... Hmmm...

Brainstorming about a 1/48 german early war convoy with lots of marching infantry (as in 2 or 3 mixed up packs of taimya german infantry on manuvre)

but does anybody know where i can get a 1/48 panzer II or I? prefrably in plastic?

I know i like the panzer III it's just i'd like to build some of the small early war tanks rather than a larger tank, i just think it looks a lot like a later war vehicle.
