Hi Folks, from Toronto, Canada

Just wanted to say hi. I am new to this forum but I have been subscribing to Fine Scale Modeler for two years now. I belong to the Toronto chapter of IPMS and I build mostly WWII 1/48 scale aircraft, although recently I have branched out into modern jets with a Hasegawa f-16.
I am a 39 year old high school History teacher, married with a six year old son who keeps me fairly busy. I came back to the hobby about 8 years ago, and boy has it ever changed. What people are producing today is absolutely amazing! I am still building my skills and I am sure this forum will help me in that endeavour.
Cheers!

Glad to meet you General…I am new to these forums as well. Look forward to swapping info!

Hi ya General Lee …

A big “unofficial” welcome to the FSM community forum(s) … the best place on the 'net to read about, talk about and share scale modeling. As I am sure you will notice when you poke around the forums … we are all scale modelers … all of us with varied interests … over 10,000 strong now and growing. I hope you will stop by often. Have fun! [:)]

Hello there… General…

Welcome aboard General Lee!!

History teacher? [:)]
That was my favorite subject in high school. I always received straight A’s in History.

Welcome aboard, General. You’re in the right place; I’ve noticed most of us have a real passion for history. You’ll like it here!

Welcome General,
History teacher with a slight tilt towards the American Civil War maybe?
Look forward to your posts.

So how did you guess that I am a Civil War buff? Could it have been in the user name I chose? Hmmmm? [;)] One of the most fascinating periods in American History. Almost ranks up there with William Lyon Mackenzie’s rebellion of 1837!

Happy modelling, Shermanfreak.

Gotta luv it when the name says it all…for me the Sherman is two fold…both the tank and the General…from one ACW buff to another…hope you really enjoy it here.
