Thanks for the welcome guys, I am looking forward to starting in the next few days and welcome any advice for the old man here.  Will post some picts as soon as I have something to show you all.  I am really blown away by the new techniques and tools that are being used now!  Can't wait to try some out.

Torren

 Ah welcome Torren!  Gotta catch up on all the goings on, think I saw some good builds completed and some new old faces about.  I apologise for not being 100% with it actually not even close.  Going to be in and out. Mostly out due to the bad teeth issue. Seems it was much more severe than expected so I am actually doing visits 12hours apart to get back right.  Slept most of the day today after a pretty rough session but hey I got Dee looking after me at least.  Feeding the old man soup and milkshakes to keep my strength up.  If I miss your builds or Pm's I just wanted to explain why. Figure if I'll bounce back pretty quickly once it is all over.   See you all soon and mind that Rum Roy!  Need it to kill the nerves!

Dee you have truely been an angle to me Very good to me darling..... then again...., you may be the devil!   

Torren, yes you can join our crew.  Read the first page of the group build, all the rules are there.  Right now we are doing any United States Navy or Marine aircraft, helos what ever.  Yes you get to keep you model unless you want to give it someone that's up to you  We do ask that if possible post pics of your inprogress work.  If you need help with that let us know.  The CAG will post you to the roster.

to our GB. 

PS. watch out for sfcmac, he'll try to steal your rum

Hello all,

Forgive me for not reading all 300-some pages of posts here, but I am new and have some questions.

Is this still open to get into with you all?  Is there a specific plane or any naval airborne vechicle (B-25's were carrier borne once you know!)?

I have a Revell F4u-4 that I have just picked up and might be interested in joining all the fun....Do  you get to keep the models after you build them???  I am new to all this and very rusty and thanks for the help trying to understand all of this.

Howdy all!!! Great work to all progression!!!! I will be back at the bench soon. Have a house of my own now and am still settling in. I have designated one room a dedicated hobby room! WHY? Well we don't have to ask why, but BECAUSE I CAN!!!! LOL! Puter desk, bench, and ammenities(stash storage) are the furnishings. Maybe a drawing table if I desire. The birds have made the move safely with no damage. MADE SURE OF THAT!!!! I also have two display cases now I picked up for $30 each. So I am doing fine, just have to get everything sorted. Will fully catch up with the posts when I get my puter.

Aaron CONGRATS on 2 grand!!!!!!!!!!

The Chair is against the wall.

Corsairs? I thought we were building Me 109's? Nobody ever tells me anything?  The Cowlings and Crank cases look unreal or I mean very real?  I am so confused.

LOL, we're building both!  Snap to it young man, and get your hands on a Corsair too.  That's an order.
