I've been lurking quite enough, and thought I'd better place my first post here in the introductions.
Like you, I'm a modeller. I will try and put together anything: aircraft, armor, trains and ships. Most recently, I've been attempting
figure modelling, more in the small scales like 1/48-1/32.
Odd that I hadn't noticed this forum before the fall of last year. I was looking for a forum I could like; a non-pressured place I could be accepted for the work I do and visually understand the fine work of others; and a forum that was frequently visited by fellow modellers worldwide. Forums are the only arena that my models will ever be seen, as with most of us, for we are a quiet lot.
Most of my finished models are given to my grandchildren, and subsequently destroyed during their play. If I can ever build a nice one though, it will be put under glass. I'm hoping I can can build that great one with you all in these forums.

If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing

Re: Another Canadian Hi!
Welcome aboard !!
You should at least photo your models before handed over to your grandchildren so we can see -- in fact photos of grandchildren at play with them would remind many of us of our early models !

Which means I either make models or make kids.jssel wrote:59 N puts you up there in the cold right now.
I think I'll get modelling.
I promise I'll do both of those for you as my models get built. As a matter of fact, I'm thinking about opening my own window in these forums.jRatz wrote:You should at least photo your models before handed over to your grandchildren so we can see -- in fact photos of grandchildren at play with them would remind many of us of our early models !
And thanks for the welcome posts to all. It makes one feel very good when coming onto new ground.
