Hiya from Belgium!

Hello! Not really new to this forum, I used to be very active here when the FSM Forum was created, well over 25 years ago… Then Facebook happened and I got myself convinced that FB would be better, easier, faster,.. Tired of fighting bots, ads and worse to find some info or share some, I finally decided to get back to something that does what it says on the box.

I’m now 60, have been scale modelling for over 52 straight years. I have lived in the US (NJ and KY) for 3 years, in the UK (Kent) for 22 years, and I am now back ‘home’ in Belgium, near the city of Liège in the eastern part of the French-speaking area of the country, where I grew up.

My scale modelling interests are numerous and very varied, from aircraft to ships, from AFVs to cars, from figures to real spacecraft, from SF to Chibis and to a strange fascination with Minions..! I work in various scales, from 1/10 to 1/700, with slight preferences for 1/72, 1/144 and 1/200.

Apart from being older (but not necessarily wiser!), the main thing that has changed from my past presence on this forum is the fact that I started my own company back in 2005, a company that offers various resin kits that illustrate my varied interests. I still build and paint ‘just for fun’ too and I’m still member, as well as librarian and secretary, of the local model club I joined back in 1979.

I look forward to mingling again with a wild bunch of like-minded people!

Hi Mobious. I lived for a year and a half in Northern KY, not far from the Cincinnati airport. Back in 1999-2000. Only went to Indiana once.

I’ll post pics over the next few days, promise. Belgium is a good place to be a modeller: lots of model shows all year round, and where’s there is a model show, there’s a bar. :wink:
