Im new here! Some of you may know my husband Chris aka History something or other.
My name is Diane. I saw a picture of a pink tank lastnight Chris showed me and decided I might want to do something like that. I have never built or touched a model before ever! Chris suggested that if I had a free minute at work to come over sign up and introduce myself…I dont plan on typing a lot of messages (I do like to read though) but was told everyone here if very nice and helpful.
Im not sure what my first kit is going to be. Chris gave Heather and myself a V W Bug that I have yet to touch but I dont have as much time on my hands as he does lol…I require more than 2-4hrs sleep…I guess that would be where our age difference comes into play!
Whoever did that pink tank I really liked it!
Im not much of an online forum or bulletin board person I stare at computers all day anywhere from 8-16 hrs a day so can someone tell me what all the smilies on the left are for?
Welcome to the world of crazy model builders. [#welcome] I am sure that very soon you will be building models better than Chris. But again, any one can build a model better than Chris.[:-^][:-^][:-^]
THERE GOES THE NEIGHBORHOOD![:O]
Do I really have to welcome her?(hehe Just kidding!..[;)) So you mean to tell me your actually going to build the kit I got for you…instead of making me build it? LOL
Diane the smilies are just like on AOL chat…well a lil better you just use them for expressions…if you hover over them it will tell you what they are…They have a testing forum where you can try out different features…
BTW if youre ever gonna do a tank…go over to the armor forum and ask all your questions there they WILL be much more help than I could ever be![^]
Berny I have no doubt shed be better at this than me after she gets a few kits under her belt! But Im the better photographer! LOL…
Welcome Diane! Glad you decided to join us on the forum. I’m looking forward to seeing you VW and then a tank after that!! Jump in the armor forum whenever you’re ready and you’ll have lots of help. [:)]
At least now we know who to ask if Chris can come out to play! [;)] [}:)] [:D]
Thank you all for the Welcome! I really want to do a tank but will save my questions for the appropriate category. As far as sending Chris to the doghouse…I’d do it but he’d just find something fun to do out there like load some ammo or start another fishing rod. He just finished one for my brother it looks amazing! Absolutely perfect, of course thats whats expected when one is a perfectionist! Im far from a perfectionist [(-D] I know when to look at something and say OK thats as good as it gets![swg]
As far as hearing less from Chris, I doubt it! LOL I usually look at the site from work where I have a connection that doesnt require a 50 year wait for the page to load! And the last thing I want to do when I get home is look at another computer monitor after staring at a few all day at work.
Again Thanks for the Welcome!
LOL With her sitting right beside me as I type this(she actually took a day off! [:O] ) I/we can tell you not only do I pick out my own clothes and put them on but I ussually pick out hers…as she has no fashion sense! Ok that last part got me smacked!
[#welcome] TFL. I think a pink F15 or F16 might be interesting. Anyway I think you have very reliable guidance during your model building with, who was that again ? " History something or another "[(-D][(-D][(-D][(-D][(-D]
Diane, welcome to FSM. I understand what you have to deal with when you mention Chris and his little peccadillos. (Easy there, Eric and Robert!!!) We are glad to have you on board with us. Can’t wait to see your posts and get the other side of the story every once in a while [:D][:D][:D] - Ed
Welcome Diane. Looks like Dave is going to have to create a ladies forum before to long so they can have a place to go to if us guys get to be a little to much to handle. But since some of us live with them, they can always just knock us back in line right Chris?
