Greetings…

Been modeling for about 40 years now (since I was 8). Built all the Star Trek models and just about every 1/48 Monogram WW2 aircraft kit I could find; been modeling off and on ever since…

Bought a coupla Testors tank kits about a year ago and found I liked building tanks. My lack off skills in this area led me to lurk in this forum the last coupla months picking up tips; and now that I’ve completed my first DML model (Pz III J…intial production) I feel its time to take the plunge…

I’ll be posting some pics in the armor section soon.

Wow 40 years! I believe we have several folks who’ve been building around that area. Welcome, we could sure use your experience and knowledge here.

Well…remember I did say “off and on”!!!

I’ve learned quite a bit lurking here the last coupla months!

and…until a few weeks ago…I’d never (gasp!!!) used an airbrush!!!

to the group.

with all your experiances I’ll bet you have a bunch of excuses -er- I mean, good ideas on model building.

Looking forward to seeing your work

I like your handle there, Winetanker … any relation to Oddball? Any cheese in the turret? [;)]

Welcome aboard!

I’m not one of Kelly’s Heroes, if that’s what you mean…but I have burned a few bridges in my day[A]

Welcome, Winetanker! I’ve been building for 60 years (!) and have learned a few tricks in that time, as well have amassed a great deal of tools and supplies. Glad to have you aboard!
