New to Board

Hello, My Name is Korky, I used to build kits a long time ago, and what got me started again is the larger scale kits and the pre-built models from 21st Century that I do mods to.

I find this site to be very user friendly, and full of info from very experienced modelers and all around good “Joes”!

I live in Illinois, married with 6 children, (yes I said 6)

I am in the process of building a 1/18th dio, with scratch built buildings, dragonsteeth and alot of other things.

Never built a Dio, so I got alot of simple but probably to you guys
Stupid questions. So bear with me. Great to be HERE!!

Welcome Korky,

Sounds like you have your hands full with 6 children.

If you have any questions, the forums are indeed the place to ask.

Good Luck on the Dio and post some pictures of your progress!

Welcome to FSM Korky.

I can see why you build 1/18 scale … it gives you a place to house all the kids !!

I look forward to your posts in the Armour Forum and don’t forget the progress pics!

Nice to have a little diversity on the board. Welcome a-board (pun intended… I might use that again… )

Korky, 6 kids, maybe you should be modeling 1:1 autos. Only kidding. Welcome to FSM forum and enjoy.

Thanx Guys!! Yeah, I’ts a hard scale to get alot of detail in, and I find it quite a task to find anything that goes with it. On my smaller stuff, a simple pass of a dry brush and whalaa!!! with this scale whalaa is AUHHHHHHHH!!!
But I love WWII Armour and Aircraft, not much into the modern stuff…but when I was a kid…modern was the Saber Fighter!!!

6 kids and a 1/18th scale dio…wow!

Good luck and welcome to FSM.

I’m still shaking my head…six kids. I thought three were a handful!!! Welcome aboard. Good luck with the diorama. Hope we’ll get to see it here when you complete it. - Ed

Welcome to FCM, I bet you don’t have much time to spend on models with six kids. [:p] I take my hat off to you.[:0] I have noticed that a lot of people like WWII models the best, especially tanks and planes. Welcome again[:D]
