Greetings from TN:
I’m Gary, retired Aero Eng., and old enough to be on medicare. I have always been involved with some sort of aircraft modeling but have been most intrigued with the imagination and realism of the plastic scale aircraft hobby. I am a long ime subscriber of FSM and now I have time to experiment. My interests are 1/72 scale WWII aircraft and my desire to improve is restricted by mylack of artistic ability. My other passion is “chasing” airshows and haunting air museums.
Welcome to FSM, Gary. Hope you’ll enjoy your site searches here. Where in Tennessee are you from? I have family in Jeffereson City and Knoxville, and my wife is from Memphis.
Welcome to FSM Gary. Glad to have you come and join us here.
Soon you’ll add visiting this site to your other passions list, bunch of real good guys and gals here more than willing to help.
Warm welcome to you, Gary. This is a great place to share experience, skills, tips and ideas. Enjoy it!

Hi ya kansan …
Welcome Gary, to the greatest scale modeling site on the 'net … the FSM Community Modeling Forum(s). [^]
I am glad that you stopped in … checked us out … and joined up. [:D] When you get a chance to spend a little more time here with us … you will quickly find that we are a very friendly, helpful and diverse group of scale modelers … we hail from all points of the compass and have many different interests and opinions. [8D]
Again, welcome and have fun!!! [;)]
Thanks one and all for the warm welcome. Ed, in answer to your question - I live in Tullahoma, TN, it’s about equal distance between Nashville, Chattanooga and Huntsville, AL. There are several active clubs within driving distance and I always enjoy attending their competitions. You can’t help but walk away asking “I wonder how they did that!?”
Hello and welcome,
Glad you stopped by and joined up. I think you will find that after some experimenting, practice, with support from the fine folks here, that you are not as “artistically challenged” as you think. Loking forward to your posts and pics of your builds.
Gary,
Welcome to the forum! According to a active poll taken here I am “up there” with you in the age brakett for the members in this forum. I joined the forum in March and through the knowledge of these fine folks here have improved my modeling tremendously in a short time. I do find that eveytime I sign online I stop here and spend a bit of time getting and giving advice. I am sure you’ll love that. They are all wonderful and interesting people.
Hello and welcome from the UK!
Hey Gary nice to see you join. What kind of Aero Eng. are you?(Aeronautics or Astronautics)
Hi Gary,
Nice to see you here. Hope you’ll find the information you need from around here.
Keep posting.
Welcome to the forums, Gary!
Thanks for asking. For alittle levity, I received my BSAE in aeronautical engineering the same year that the 7 Mercury astronauts were selected .
Have a nice evening.
Gary
Sounds you’ve got some great hobbies!! Welcome to the forums…
