Been a ‘lurker’ here for a few months, finally found some time to introduce myself. Long time armor/aircraft modeller, my first model was a ‘Hawk’ 1/72 ME109, which will date me for some of you veteran modellers out there!
Have not been real active for 8 or 9 years (career changes/moves/starting family, etc, etc) but am ready to get back into it. Luckily, FSM has played a part in keeping me ‘in’ the hobby, if not active, as I’ve been a constant subscriber since it came out. My main interest is WW2 tanks (Allies and Axis) and an occasional aircraft (also WW2) looking forward to using the forum more as I start my first project. I’ve visited many modelling forums and I think the spirit and cameraderie here at FSM is tops!
I don’t think I’ll try to be a ‘detail’ king as I used to try to be, generally speaking there will almost always be a 7 or 9 year old boy (often both) sharing space at my work desk. That will place new demands on my patience and provide a new sort of satisfaction, as I develop them into the new milleniums Shep Paine–lol!
Happy modelling!
