Hello from Ohio

Hello from Ohio. Now that the kids are older I’m just starting to get back into modeling. I enjoy building aircraft and armor models from WW II to the present. I’m looking forward to trying washes and weathering, something I haven’t done much of in the past.

You’ve come to a good place, Mike…welcome aboard! A lot can be learned here.

Welcome to the Forums Mike [#welcome]. A buckeye is some kinda nut, aint it ? [:)]

Regards, Rick

After their last game…yes!LOL

Thanks for the welcome.

Welcome, what part of Ohio you from?

I’m around the southern part of Cleveland area.

Mike

Same here, I’m in Brunswick.

Hello!!! I’m next door to you. My gran was a Buckeye and my Mom graduated from high school at Middletown. I still have lots of ties there.

Welcome to the forums Mike!

Hey, I thought that you said you were a Hoosier? Must be the transplanted variety.

Ok, more exactly I’m in the Macedonia/Northfield area. Just moved from Akron.

Most people seem to only know Cleveland or Columbus and nothing in between.

Alot of knowledge roaming these boards and there all pretty good people. Very helpful and handy to have around in a pinch.

Welcome.

I am a Hoosier. My family has lived in the same house for over 40 yrs now. I’ve lived there all my life. My mom was born about 5 miles from when we live now and then her family moved back to Middletown and moved back to Indiana to where we are now after she and her brother graduated from HS. Her younger brother stayed there and her older one was born there, graduated in IN, and moved with the family back and stayed. Gran and Gramps moved something like 13 times, staying in either Butler Cty, Ohio or Ripley Cty, IN.

HEY!!~ a fellow Ohioan [:D] how far are you from Hudson? its a midsized town, and we are about 40 mins away from cleveland…

anyways, you’ve come to the right place

welcome to the forums! [#welcome]

jinithith2, your like 10 mnts from me.

Cool.

More modelers from this area than I thought.

I’m about 20 minutes from Macedonia, our German Shepherd club meets there once a month. Hudson isn’t far from us either.

What are your favorite local hobby stores? I still love going to Wings in Lakewood but that would be a bit far for you guys.

Mike

Whistle Stop Hobby Shop in Cuyahoga Falls. Went there once, and absolutely fell in love with it. Before, Hudson had its own small hobby shop, but because of the chain stores moving in, it closed…

I bought an AM Helldiver there, and when the entire PE sheet turned up missing from the kit, Kevin (Whistle Hobby owner) immediately ordered a new set for me.

when you get a chance, drop by. It’s an amazing place with relatively low prices for family run hobbyshops

Hudson to Brunswick is 36 mins by Google Earth and I don’t have to take any highways! technically, 39 minutes and more if starting at my home and getting to yours.

Thanks, I will check it out!

Thanks! Do you do any shooting? I enjoy shooting in service rifle competitions and the M-1 is one of my favorites.
